Chow Yun Fat leaves his buddies Eric Tsang, Stanley Fung, and Nat Chan Bak Cheung to their own devices, so the first thing the trio do is get taken hostage in a bank robbery! The trio makes it onto TV, which equals instant celebrity, but the big station in town won't give them a job. Enter Andy Lau, who gives the guys their own talk show on a rival station, where they beat up their guests for being annoying. Meanwhile, a trio of comely females (including Elizabeth Lee and Carina Lau) move in next door, and the chase is on!

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
OllieSuave-007 Actors Shui-Fan Fung, Eric Tsang and Pak-cheung Chan play three romancers in this intriguing comedy who enter show business and join the ratings-struggling Chow TV station, run by Lao Chow (Hoi-Pang Lo), to boost their careers and attempt to each court an aspiring actress and a beauty pageant candidate. While Chow TV's ratings improve, their competing competing Channel 8 TV concocts a scheme to try to sabotage Chow TV's productions.This film is full of laugh out loud humor, from Stanley Fung's laughing spell to Pak-cheung Chan's vampire disguise. This film also spoofs several scenes from other movies including An Autumn's Tale and Prison on Fire. I also especially like the fiery character Miss Mui, played by Wan-Si Wong. Her chemistry with Stanley Fung is classic and humorous.All sorts of other highly acclaimed Hong Kong actors appear including Andy Lau, Elizabeth Lee, Carina Lau and Jing Wong - each delivering some dramatic performances. It's a HK comedy like no other. Go check it out!Grade B+
