L² Comment:

Beside having the main cast, Michael Hui as a producer and director of this movie also found his younger brother Ricky Hui & Anita Mui to be guess appearance in this movie. Though the storyline is not bad but watching it after many years did not give me the sparks anymore to laugh like those other HK comedy movies~

I so so so love this movie... The stories of these ladies are so touching... Their laughter, their cries really affected my mood when i watched this movie. Dodo Cheng even won the Best Actress in the Golden Horse Awards, defeated Cherie Chung who was in the nomination list as well. A very very good film that i recommend all of you to watch/rewatch...
