Review
by Kozo:
    This forgotten Hong Kong comedy is about two old classmates (Andy Lau and Tony Leung Chiu-Wai) who happen upon each other later in their lives. Tony is a successful insurance salesman who’s contracted a “bubble” on his brain. The skinny: he could die at any time. Andy is a smooth but unlucky triad fellow. Because of their individual problems, they switch places: Andy tries to learn the insurance trade and be successful for a change and Tony tries live out his death sentence by navigating his way on HK’s streets. As usual, this allows for all sorts of fish-out-of-water gags. Romance arrives in the form of Mrs. Mui (Teresa Mo), Andy’s immediate superior and Fennie (Fennie Yuen), a triad boss’ daughter who Tony somehow charms. An unspecial exercise, this flick is rather harmless and succeeds at being entertaining once in a while. The performances are average, too. This is Andy Lau in annoying/smarmy mode, but Tony Leung is likable and Fennie Yuen is appealing. Useless and average. (Kozo 1997)
