Touching story about a single "father" -not to be confused with the Disney flick with the same name, 6 October 2001
Author: Slice of LIfe from Vancouver, BC



Now this is a film to watch: it's both sad and funny, and puts one in mind of those old-fashioned movies with Jimmy Stewart. Part "Bid Daddy", part "Harvey" and part "Kramer VS Kramer".

Leslie Cheung plays a stock broker who takes care of a kid after Maise (Qiqi) left him on his boat. Four years later, he's down-and-out, working temp jobs and living in a shabby penthouse. All he's really got is the kid, but that may all change when Maise comes back...
