Summary: yet another comedy... which fails to shine
When I first read the synopsis of the movie, I thought it would be an interesting show. However, I guess I must have brought in too much of high hopes as I left the cinema, slightly disappointed. The idea of a playboy (AH B) who's son (Nick) is going to marry one of his illigitemate child (Candy) is kinda fresh to me but I feel that the script was not developed properly. Also, there seems to be little chemistry between Candy Lo and Nick Cheung. They didn't look the least bit like brother/sister nor lovers. Ah B and Veronica Yip on the other hand did a better job in entertaining the audiences if compared to the two main actor/actress. I loved the way Ah B and Veronica went all out to fish for attention and fame. It's rediculously funny, highly exaggerated but downright to the point and hilarious! Anyway, I'd be surprised that anyone didn't figure out the ending of the movie. It's as predictable as 2+2=4. Yeah.. that's the rate i'll give this movie too... 4/10
