This movie seemed to drag for the first half, everything was set at a slow pace. However, the second half seemed to change, and it became a lot more enjoyable and quite funny. The story line is pretty strange, as there are 3 stories going on, one of which was with Anita Yuen and Leslie Cheung which seemed to only last 10 minutes and that was it.

The story is of two men, Chan Ka Fu (played by Takeshi Kaneshiro) and Yau Win (Aaron Kwok) who although both live completely different lives, both love the same women, Mok Man Yee (Kelly Chen). Chan Ka Fu is a quiet shy character who works as a piano tuner, and seems happy with life, were as his new friend Yau Win is a loud ‘between-jobs’ person who uses all of his money on gambling. His girlfriend Mok Man Yee is always getting mad at Yau Win for his ways, and is always splitting up with him. This pleases Chan Ka Fu who thinks he has a chance with her. Then all of a sudden half way through the plot and speed changes, Chan starts writing a romance novel which is really a fantasy story about him and Yee. The story then takes off into this story which turns into some kind of adventure.

One thing did confuse me though, although an impressive cast list, it is really only 3 main characters, the rest play cameos. Everyone else seemed to be on the screen for 5 minutes, especially Anita Yuen, they should have given her a better role. Jacky Cheung, Leslie Cheung, Anita Yuen, and Eric Tsang (luckily!) were given tiny roles, they might have well not been in the film.

Slow at first, but enjoyable at times. Stick with it as it gets much better after the first half.

Rating (of 5): 3
