8/10 for the Chemistry between all 3 actors. In one word: brilliant.
Tony Leung Kar Fai's turn as the aging womanizer, Dick is so believable, you'd think that he's really that way in real life. The role suits him, and even in Men suddenly in Black where he acts as a womanizer imprisoned by his wife, you feel that womanizers must be a role he was born to play.
Having seen Tony Leung Chiu Wai in shows where he's usually the womanizer (2046, He ain't heavy, he's my father), it was a refreshing change to see his character, Tom so loyal to just one woman, Joyce, and therefore is constantly hen-pecked. Towards the end, he didn't even have the courage to tell her that he loved Cat more, till Dick knocked sense into him. Perhaps having one girlfriend for way too long is just not good for any man in general.
Lawrence Cheng's turn as the somewhat feminine Hairy made me laugh so hard. To see him becoming so confused about his sexual orientation after several disasters with women, only to succeed with a Vivian Chow substitute turned my stomachs inside out from laughter.
They were so natural, you feel sorry for each and everyone of the characters after a while.
While Tom ends up with Cat, he still is hen-pecked. While Dick remains single, he realizes that he is losing his touch. While Hairy ends up with Francis, he still wants Vivian Chow.
Perhaps people will always remain the way they are?
