This is not a bad romantic comedy from Hong Kong, which brought some laughs and chuckles. Chow Yun Fat stars as village headman Ng Shan-Shui, who has a clash with his girlfriend Firefly (Carol 'Do Do' Cheng). She had just returned from England, so her new independent and modern ways made a culture clash with the more rural and traditional thinking Shui. It's funny listening to the countryside Chinese dialect and the sometimes screwball conversations. The plot gets a little more intriguing when Firefly runs off to work in downtown Hong Kong, which results in more culture clashes when Shui follows suit.
There's a nice co-starring role by Teresa Mo, Firefly's confidant. Carina Lau makes a special appearance as Shui's new girlfriend Susan Chong, which I thought gave a rather sappy and annoying performance. Glad that Shui had better chemistry with Firefly. Their performances were the highlight of the movie and made quite a nice romantic duo. This film could have used more humorous moments, but overall, it wasn't a bad movie. The ending was pretty exciting as well.
Grade B-
