Is set to deliver a dose of comedy and heartwarming family drama when it opens in cinemas on the first day of Chinese New Year, February 17. Directed by Malaysian filmmaker Teddie Chin, the film boasts a star-studded cast led by Hong Kong actors Oscar Leung, Joel Chan, Bob Lam, and Christine Ng, alongside Malaysian actor Daniel Fong. The story centres on a mother who decides to remarry a much younger man, forcing her adult children to confront an awkward and hilarious situation. At the film’s premiere at DADI Cinema, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur yesterday, the cast shared that the set was filled with laughter, despite a gruelling schedule and a tight budget. “The whole crew was laughing almost every day, from the moment we started work until we wrapped. That may be the most precious part of this film,” said Chan, who not only acted but was also involved in the production.

Lam, fresh from his Best Male Host win at the TVB Anniversary Awards, said he hoped the on-set fun would translate into box office success. For Malaysian actor Daniel Fong, who shares a romantic storyline with Ng, making his film debut alongside seasoned Hong Kong actors was a great honour. He admitted that his biggest challenge was delivering his Cantonese dialogue but was grateful for the guidance he received from the senior cast members. Director Teddie Chin confirmed that the cast’s camaraderie was a highlight of the shoot, revealing that some behind-the-scenes bloopers were even included in the final cut to showcase their off-camera chemistry.
