Plot:Unrepentant bigamist Tony Leung wins girls over, but can't hold a relationship with his aged father. One day, he drops a coin into a wishing well and is transported into the past. He meets his father as a young man and comes to understand him better.
Overview:The famous two Tony Leungs play father and son. The son (little Tony) is a cynical, unhappy, selfish brat who despises his father. He represents the modern generation with no ideals and no moral values. His father (big Tony) is ridiculed for his "bleeding heart," idealistic, out-of-date mentality that leads him to give a thief money after a lecture in hopes of straightening him out. By a magical coincidence, the son is sent to the past and becomes his father's buddy.

By going back in time, he is able to understand why his mother has stuck by his father all these and to learn to love his father. This really isn't revealing anything, because if you can't figure out the basic plot from the first two minutes then you probably just shouldn't bother watching movies. The good things in this movie come from how it gets from beginning to end. This movie has a number of quite good comic sequences, including possibly the funniest dance scene ever seen in a HK movie and some amusingly bad singing.

This movie borrows a bit from "Back to the Future," but has enough originality that the producers should be forgiven. Overall, a funny story with a good cast.
