Standout Aspects

Acting

Carol Cheng's exasperated wife energy steals every scene.

Writing

Ridiculous escalation of lies that somehow keeps topping itself.

Best for:Friends: Group viewing for maximum cackling at this man's terrible choices.·Background: Chaotic energy perfect for folding laundry to.
Heads up:Sexual Content: Adultery played for laughs, some suggestive 90s comedy moments.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

This film captures early 90s anxiety about mainland China's economic opening, with the 'mainland representative' wife representing both opportunity and threat to established Hong Kong families.

Trivia

Director Dick Cho was primarily known for Category III erotica, making this relatively tame domestic farce an unusual detour in his filmography — reportedly Carol Cheng's involvement was the condition for financing.
