Synopsis by Jonathan Crow
Hong Kong exploitation king Wong Jing spins this broad family drama cum screwball romantic comedy. Three sisters -- Siu-sze (Chingmy Yau Suk-ching), a doctor; Siu-nam (Maggie Cheung Man-yuk), a mousy social worker; and Siu-tung (Brigitte Lin Ching-hsia), a tough-talking policewoman -- come to believe that their father is ailing from terminal cancer of the testicles, and decide to make him happy for his birthday. They vow to find boyfriends. Siu-sze nabs a 27-year-old loser (Dior Cheng Yee-kin) who has never kissed a girl while Siu-nam shacks up with bumptious triad roughneck Wu Ying (Jacky Cheung Hok-yau). Siu-tung lands an effete male prostitute named Simon Tse (Tony Leung Kar-fai). As luck would have it, the three men the sisters chose as convenient dates for pop's birthday bash just so happen to be their perfect mates. The party itself is thrown into chaos with the surprise appearance of not only dad's money-grubbing pen pal but also a sociopath named Wild Dog who is out to kill Wu Ying.
