Defined types and while all solutions aren't all neat and happy, much that happens is to be expected so Tom, Dick & Hairy doesn't score points for originality. Sometimes very frank sexually and breaking into singing and dancing at one point, usually the proceedings, even the more somber ones, are helped along by an engaging troupe of actors. Especially Tony Leung Chiu-Wai and Ann Bridgewater help keep the soap opera drama buoyant. Amusing tangents surrounding sexual frustration (the character appear as their libidos, by simply appearing in bald caps) and Cheng's character accidentally learning French instead of English gets a neat pay-off. Athena Chu also appears.
