Meeting Water in the lobby, not knowing who he, is she gets him to show her Mr. Lams office. Seeing the picture on the desk she realises that it is the disabled guy who was staring at her on the pier.

Hearing this Water realizes that this is the girl his brother has been looking for. He proposes that she become a birthday present for his brother to try to help with his sexual problem. Cher is horrified, but Water agrees to pay her sufficient to erase her father's debts. She has no choice but to agree but insists on a contract. Her family solicitor (Andy Lau) helps her negotiate the contract. Honey is engaged to teach her.

Cher tells him that the final thing he must do for her is to love her forever. A task to which he is only too willing to agree.

Review

This movie has a definitely sexual untertone and is certainly not tasteful, the premise of using the sexy Chingmy Yao as a high class hooker is a touch sleazy and the movie spends a lot of time revelling in her sexiness. That said, she is an excellent actress who does very well in the role. it is clear that the hot blooded Lam brothers can't help but be attracted to her.

Ekin Cheng is endearing and naive in this movie, making him instantly appealing. His character's ineptitude wiith women is fresh and amusing, as he struggles with his attraction to Cher and his perceived obligation to his brother. It is clear that Water feels responsible for his brothers predicament and is at great pains to remedy it. As always Ekin portrays the anguish excellently, and the audience feels for his predicament as he races to reclaim the woman he loves.

Michael Wong plays the gay character Honey extremely well, maybe a little to well. The side plot or constant sparring with Cher's friend Sorry is also used to further the current political ideal that gays should indeed become straight in the end. Amanda Lee is also wonderful as Wong's sparring partner and the two of them fight constantly through out the movie. This provides a romantic backdrop for the increasing love affair growing between Ekin and Chingmy.

Wong Jing's romantic comedy may be considered offensive in parts but it is a good movie and emminently watchable. All the actors put in excellent performances. Everything is politically correct in the end. The married Mountain is reunited with his wife, Gay Honey is romantically happy with Sorry and single Water and Cher are able to finally marry
