    Pretty Good

    This is a fairly early film of two Hong Kong stars Stephen Chow and Sandra Ng. They play a couple who live with her father in a remote part of China who elope and move to Hong Kong. The movie has some wacky elements, but the romance works. Stephen's character becomes an executive and is wooed by Nancy, played by Suki Kwan. Sandra, as Ti, is fairly unglamorous in her role, but thats the point, she is not a city girl. As usual, she gives her best and is more endearing than Stephen's character. This film is more of a drama than a comedy, but the two together are very appealing. If you like a good old fashioned romantic dramedy, here you go.

    Not bad

    This movie is above average compared to other films of the genre. The two leads went on to become huge stars in Asia, and this movie shows why. They are both witty, and they make you care about what happens to their characters. The references can be a little dated, but what film reference isn't dated in ever-changing Hong Kong?

    This movie is about a newlywed couple who tries to make it on their own after they eloped, much to Sandra Ng's father's chagrin. Sandra works hard for minimum wage to pave way for Stephen Chow to climb up the social ladder.

    As Stephen gets promoted, a rift develops in their relationship due to a misunderstanding - surprise, surprise. The ending is predictable but it does not sell out.
