With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for people who need a laugh after work and people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter. Anyone who's had a job will recognize these people. A good follow-up to Carnal Knowledge.
- The mood
- Funny with heart, romantic.
- The pace
- Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 28 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in Cantonese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
May a recently recruited office worker finds she cannot fund her expensive lifestyle with her dismal paycheck. She later discovers her female work colleagues are playing strip poker or having sex with the management team. May soon learns she may have to indulge in carnal desires to make it in the Central district (the premier commercial district in Hong Kong).
