SYNOPSIS
Ah Sung
(Jason Chan) and Yat-Ching (Sherman Chung) are lovers who run a bar
that gives love advice. They both dream and saving up money to finish
their Master's degree in Beijing.
Joe
Yeung (Pakho Chau) is a player who will get a taste of his own
medicine when his ex-girlfriend plots revenge on him by making him
fall in-love with her cousin.
Sandra
(Yumiko Cheng) is having doubts with her boyfriend whose always busy
and has no time for her. One day, Ah Sing (Ken Hung) delivers food to
her gallery and develops a crush or maybe he really fell in-love with
Sandra despite of their age difference.
The
story will revolve around these characters and all will eventually
ask for love advice from Ah Shung and Yat-Ching.
REVIEW
It's a
light-hearted romantic comedy and it will keep you entertained. At
one point we all have friends (or maybe oneself) who will encounter
such love problems. The movie reminded me of my old friends and the
good ol' crew on our salad days. If you are bias of Ken Hung (like I
am) then you will truly love this movie.
