| Overview: | Raised in the housing project, Gai Hong meets a daughter of a wealthy family, Ah Top. In this cliched romance story told a million time and again, Gai Hong saves face, telling Ah Top that he is also from a rich background. Their love is eventually put to the test when the truth is out. Top's mother discovers the relationship and fearing it would affect Top's education strongly opposes it.
Despite the predictable plot, great casting, with an endearing performance from the entire cast make this film worth watching. The adult leads, Tina Lau and Ricky Hui, add a fresh dose of maturity and subtlety to the otherwise very young cast. Fans of Gigi Leung will be pleased with her numerous musical numbers played throughout the film.
