This is a light-hearted movie about an office romance. Andy works as a boss in an office filled with co-workers who love to gossip. They gossip about Andy's perverted self especially. One day, Andy meets Kinki (Sammi), a kind but emotionally complicated girl. Kinki expressed her anger and sorrow through.. cleaning! She "loses it" occasionally over small things and scares the hell out of everybody. Andy thinks that she is a bad worker at first but finds out how nice she is through their time together. Furthermore, he helps her with her love problem with Dan (Gabriel), Kinki's boyfriend. They begin to fall for each other then. However, Fiona, an old girl friend of Andy's, interrupts these two. She introduces Kinki to Roger (Raymond), a multimillionaire. Kinki spends more time with Roger while Fiona pursues Andy. Yet, Andy only loves Kinki'

Script/Plot
This movie has an amusing and fine plot. The most hilarious scenes are when Kinki loses it and cleans everything in her path. Also, Andy goes through a depressing stage when he thinks that Kinki loves Roger. He too goes through Kinki's cleaning stage. A very good and clever script I must add again.

Acting:
Andy Lau is very funny and still is handsome! He is a good choice to play as a perverted womanizer while showing his love to Kinki.

Sammi Cheng ' Even though she is given the title as "The Queen of Box Office", her acting skills are not impressive. She has a very stiff face. Anyway, she looks very pretty and cute in here. Oh! Did I mention that I love her singing I here?

Fiona Leung- Oh! Fiona, Fiona, Fiona! Why do they always give you the annoying roles? Nothing much to say about her.

Gabriel Harrison - I have nothing to say much accepts that he is funny during the Indian Restaurant scene (You'll know what I mean when you watch it. Can't spoil it!).

Raymond Wong - Nothing to say much except that he was just a pretty boy.

Final Saying:
See it! It's very funny. If you love this, watch Love on a Diet starring Andy Lau and Sammi as well. Love on a Diet was a reunion film for this movie.
