Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
An unstoppable shopaholic with no self-restraint and a true gift for spending finds that love can be complicated when all you want is everything in a spendthrift tale of romance starring Celia Cheung, Lau Ching Wan, and Jordan Chan. At first seeking the aid of a zany psychiatrist named Choosey (Wan) to help curb her hearty consumer appetite, Fong Fong finds her problem persisting when the doctor-patient relationship between the pair grows increasingly personal. Subsequently courted by competitive shopaholic billionaire Richie (Chan), who can only find pleasure by purchasing items that other people want, Fong Fong finds herself the connecting factor in a wild love-triangle in which she is forced to risk losing out in love if she can't let go of her materialistic ways.
