Carrying over the idea of everyday people doing all they can to make a living from the ‘Two Fools' series, director Chiang Wai-kwong brings ‘the fools'–Sun Ma Si-tsang and Tang Kei-chen–together once more for another wonderful farce that also cleverly touches on gender politics. After the first half shows the two stars' silly antics to earn their keep, the film dials up the romance in the second half as Sun Ma Si-tsang's character does a double gender reverse to pose as a woman's rich boyfriend. The film also touches on traditional men's frustrations as employers favour women.

A Stroke of Romance for Mr. Wang

The film is adapted from Chinese classic comic series Mr Wong, with Tang Bik-wan joining hands with the magnificent Sun Ma Si-tsang and Tam Lan-hing to give a dazzling performance. Wong (Sun Ma Si-tsang) passes off as the company's manager to pursue the beauty Hui (Tang Bik-wan) behind his fearsome wife's (Tam Lan-hing) back. Unbeknown to him, Hui is actually the fiancée of his nephew (Sima Wah-lung), to whom he has refused to lend money. Scenes in which Hui plays pranks on him and tricks him into providing funds for her are spiced up by the lively acting of Sun Ma as a wife-fearing perv and Tang as a sassy girl with a sharp tongue. The film ends with Wong making excuses to meet Hui at a hotel but getting caught by his feisty wife. Whilst both are acclaimed comedians in their own right, brassy Tam and composed Tang together pull Sun Ma's leg in an unmissable classic slapstick.
