Cast: Terri Kwan , Peter Ho , Eddie Peng Yu Yan

Run time: 94 mins approx.



Neat freak Gigi (Terri Kwan), that changes boyfriends almost as fast as she changes her underwear, and depressive Marlene (Yu Nan), who pines for her lover to work (Lin Yu-lun), both working for a company biotechnology that makes character-changing pills. One day, to snag a slobby guy (Peter Ho) who fancies, Gigi decides to take some untested pill, which causes all sorts of chaos. Meanwhile, Marlene is a romance for his son's owner, handyman Teddy (Eddie Peng). Sparkling and sexy, Kwan ( "The Heirloom") nails the fast, loopy tone pic needs, and gets good support from most of the cast. However, Yu, most experts in theater ( "Tuya's Marriage"), seems miscast, dragging the image and not create any chemistry with Kwan. Despite pic is in a deliberately nonspecific, clinically pure Anytown, China, the prevailing mood and humor are very Taiwanese, making Yu (Mainland alone among potential customers) seem more a square peg into a round hole.
