In this comedy from Wong Jing, a terrorist organization plans to blackmail the world's government with two fatal diseases. Two Interpol agents are assigned to stop the plot, but one is infected with the disease and gets himself involved in the mansion of a Hong Kong film star, where he meddles into the life of the star's ex-wife and two daughters.
This film sounds as confusing as the plot sounds, with plot lines that go every which way and the humor getting into borderline nonsensical. I think much comedies released in Hong Kong in the 2000s and beyond are too childish; however, this one I was able to get quite a few laughs, mostly due to the acting and humor of Tony Leung and Teresa Mo.
When watching this film, don't expect to find a masterfully done comedy classic. Instead, treat it like one of those so-bad-it's-good films.
Grade C
