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-

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.
