This film is about relationships between men and women in an increasingly complex world. Foon and Ann decide to separate, as their marriage has lost its passion. Both of them are involved in relationships, Foon more like affectations, with the beautiful Cherie Chung and Elizabeth Lee. Foon's friends Q and Big Cheat have marriage problems also. Do you try to make the marriage work or do you drift apart? This film is not supposed to be profound but its watchable due to the likability of the main characters, played by Lawrence Cheng and Carol Cheng. Its a cut above many HK comedies at the time since its not slapstick, it has a pretty good story and its boring. If you're interested in this kind of film, check it out.

A rather dull Anti-divorce Movie
The-Sarkologist28 December 2013
Warning: Spoilers
This is a moralistic, anti-divorce movie. It begins with a man telling us about himself, and lying about his age, and then telling us that he is married to a woman that would be the best wife in the world if there were no other women in the world. The relationship is one based on work. They are both corporate executives and spending more time working on their jobs than on their relationship and this causes them to fall apart. The interesting thing is that they both should not divorce and it lands up worse for them (as it usually does: not always, just usually). I thought that this was a very good movie in regards to the plot. It was the few months in which the lives of this couple changes and they realise how important their marriage is.
An unromantic comedy.

This is a romantic comedy starring Lawrence Cheng and Carol Cheng as couple Leung Foon and Ann, both corporate executives whose busy work lives have placed a strain on their marriage. After their separation, Leung Foon tries to woo a former girlfriend and gets a little too close to his female boss.
It is nice to see a bunch of respected actors in the movie, especially that of Cherie Chung, whom I thought looked elegant, eloquent and classy in the movie as Leung's boss. Lawrence was OK as Leung, while Carol was too haughty in the movie. Leung's two colleague friends in the movie, Pierre and Q Tai Long (Peter Lai and Manfred Wong), weren't bad. Chow Mei-Fung as Mrs. Q acted like a b&tch to her husband.
It's a very slow-moving movie with awkward chemistry and few laughs. There's some entertaining misadventures to see, but overall, it's a very average film.
Grade C-
