This is one of those family films that seems to resonate more at Christmas - a time when we all tend to get together and then, shortly afterwards, wish perhaps that we hadn't! This reunion is predictably doomed to failure when "Bernard" (Louis Cheung) introduces his new girlfriend to his two brothers. Snag is - she "Monica" (Stephy Tang) used to date the elder one "Steve" (Chi-Wah Wong). Awkward! Luckily, he has recently met super-chef "Josephine" (Ivana Wong) and so manages to get her to play along as his new, long-term girlfriend. All of this is being egged on by the mischievous "Lung" (Charm Man Chan) who is the only one with a real girlfriend - "Meow" (Min Chen Lin)! As their large apartment starts to become home to new faces, chaos and misunderstandings ensue and the poor lads are soon very much out of their depth. It has an element of quickly paced, verbal, slap-stick to it, and though the joke does begin to wear a bit thin after the hour mark, the characters are engaging and their suffering is actually fairly entertaining (and plausible) as we head towards the conclusion that we just know might not end well for anyone! There is also quite a fun contribution from Fish Liew as the elderly mother whose pithy and observational one-liners frequently raise a smile. It's too long, but it's still good fun.
