A broad comedy that is as sweet and fizzy as soda pop.  Not something on which to base your film diet, but a fun addition.

Chow Yun-Fat plays the richest man in Hong Kong who is not pleased with the arranged marriage with a shallow socialite which awaits him in just a few weeks.  Leaving behind everything on a whim, he journeys out into the world and gets a job as a bus boy at a noodle restaurant and finds the girl of his dreams.

Not much plot, but some funny scenes and Chow Yun-Fat has rarely looked cuter.  A good candidate for rental;  probably not a movie you'll want to see over and over.

Be sure to look for CYF in a small role as Stink the taxi driver.  One of the highlights of the film, especially since this was one job which Chow actually had before he became a superstar.

Cantonese cinema from Hong Kong is globally recognized for its action films, martial arts epics, and romantic melodramas. Its innovation in choreography, editing, and atmosphere continues to set new standards for genre filmmaking.
