In the midst of things, Fei meets Shanny, a chicken stall owner who unlike Karen, gets respect from the family. Yinsu decides to flirt with a local photographer to make Leung jealous. Kung meets Suen, a friend of the family, who like Kung, is faking an illness to protect her family. Kung decides to make things right by helping himself and his brothers with their love lives. Stephen Chow leads an all- star cast in this really funny comedy, displaying his trademark . Francis Ng, breaking from typecast as a notorious type, is fun as the brainy brother who just yearns of dreaming for love and music. Film series writer and producer Raymond Wong can come off as annoying at times as the moneymaker of the bunch, due to his character being more stone cold and only caring about success, not realizing the consequences of focusing on just work and not the family. The chemistry of Chow, Ng, and Wong, show exactly why they may be brothers, but they are clearly having absolute different personalities and yet, it works so well for this genre of film. The females of the film undergo quite an interesting transformation themselves, notably that of Christine Ng. Christy Chung and Stephen Chow. Chin Kar- Lok choreographed a brief scene in which we see Christy Chung protecting Chow from the likes of Simon Loui.
