The harmonious life of a family is disrupted by a series of romantic complications in the lives of three brothers in this goofy comedy. First, the long-suffering wife of self-centered Raymond Wong leaves, to be replaced by his new girlfriend, less dedicated to maintaining the house than to spending money. Then radio star Stephen Chow gets knocked on the head, sending him into full Jerry Lewis mode, while a frustrated Maggie Cheung tries to figure out how to end this aggravating condition. Finally, there's the reluctant romance between the swishy Leslie Cheung and his butch, motorcycle-riding cousin. Plenty of Hollywood movies get parodied, including Ghost, Pretty Woman and The Terminator. In Chinese with English subtitles. Clifton Ko Chi-sum---Hong Kong---1992---120 mins.
