Hong Kong filmmaker Chu Yen-ping directed this slapstick romantic comedy, utilizing broad farcical humor and a lovable dog to create what is, when all is said and done, an instantly forgettable trifle. Japanese actor Takeshi Kaneshiro stars as Simon Hing, one of a group of idle friends who spend their time looking for women. More romantically inclined than most, he finds the beautiful Yin (Athena Chu), but she is put off by Simon and his circle of vulgarians, so she gives him the cold shoulder. As the story line progresses, coincidences begin to pile up, and Simon discovers that Yin is not only his new boss, but happens to be the daughter of his father's new girlfriend as well. Not content to simply rebuff his romantic advances, Yin sets out to embarrass and degrade Simon on the job at every turn, but the lovestruck young man will not be denied. Wong Yat-fei co-stars with Tommy So and Lam Siu-lau.
