Synopsis by Mark Deming

A filmmaker follows the ups and downs of one young man's love life in this comedy from Hong Kong filmmaker Barbaqra Wong. Joe (Jaycee Chan) is a good-natured but aimless twenty-something who doesn't have much going for him besides his beautiful girlfriend Flora (Fiona Sit). Flora is Joe's first serious romance, so he's all the more upset when she tells him she wants to break up. Joe is still down in the dumps when he discovers a website called Break Up Club, where the webmaster claims they can reunite you with your former lover, but only under the condition that you break up another happy couple first. Joe is just selfish enough to go along with this idea, and throws a spanner into his best friend's seemingly contented relationship; before long, Joe and Flora are back together and he's happier than ever. But his joy is short lived when Flora walks out on him again and Joe realizes he has to make someone else miserable again if he's going to be content. In the midst of this romantic chaos, filmmaker Barbara Wong is making a documentary about contemporary relationships, and she gets some impressive footage as she follows Joe's misadventures with Flora. Fen Shou Shuo Ai Ni (aka Break Up Club) was an official selection at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival.
