Synopsis: (credit yesasia)
Past and present survival of the common man in the big city – ups and downs, laughters and tears…
In 1970s Hong Kong, rapacious landlords try to evict 72 tenants but sworn brothers Ha Kugn (Eric Tsang) and Shek Kin (Jacky Cheung) help the group of 72 defeat the landlord (Lam Ka Tung) and landlady (Charmaine Sheh) and coincidentally rescue Pinky (Anita Yuen) from a planned forced marriage. When both sworn brothers fall for Pinky and propose to her, she flips a coin “heads or tails” and Ha wins her hand in marriage.

The sworn brothers become sworn enemies and Shek’s hatred fuels intense rivalry against Ha in business dealings ranging from the manufacture of plastic flowers to the selling of stinky bean curd. Even after 40 years they continue to clash and in 2010 they are in keen competition selling electronics appliances in Sai Yeung Choi Street, Mongkok, the busiest street in the city and still home to the 72 tenants.

In fiercely competitive Sai Yeung Choi Street high rents force businessmen to use every means to survive, with electronics shops employing pseudo models in sales promotion campaigns and comic shops offering foot=massage services by Lolita, etc. These ploys are minor compared with the tactics of the landlord (mainland actor) who threatens to close down the shops unless his demands for triple rental are met. Amidst this strife and struggle the street is hit by acidattacks and in high spirits the 72 tenants unite and pledge to safeguard their home.

Against a background of fear and turmoil, with the old love triangle between Ha and Pinky and Shek still festering, the next generation of the Ha and Shek families embarks on their own heroic love affairs: mJ-style dancer Ha Junior (Bosco Wong) is fascinated by Shek’s daughter (Stephy Tang) who is a Japanese AV culture fan; Ha’s daughter (Linda Chung), a kung fu maiden, is pursued by Shek’s love-struck son (Wong Cho Lam), the smart shortie. Affairs of the heart yet to be resolved.

Synopsis (credit yesasia)
Another year, another All’s Well Ends Well! Last year’s All’s Well Ends Well 2009 became Hong Kong’s highest-grossing film of the year. Stars Louis Koo, Sandra Ng, and Ronald Cheng return for more blockbuster Lunar New Year hijinks in the costume comedy All’s Well Ends Well Too 2010. Co-directed by franchise creator Raymond Wong Pak Ming and Herman Yau, All’s Well Ends Well Too 2010 stages an old-school comedy of errors about mistaken identity and criss-crossed romance in ancient China. Also co-starring veteran actress Lee Heung Kam, Mainland actor Pan Yueming, and models Angelababy (Short of Love) and Lynn Xiong (Ip Man), the wholly enjoyable comedy balances its nonsensical humor and wacky characters with sensible direction, smart dialogue, and amusing action scenes including a hilarious Ip Man parody.

After years studying abroad, Princess Pearl (Angelababy) is returning to her home kingdom escorted by her lover, General Bing (Ronald Cheng). The traveling party gets ambushed on the road, and Pearl falls into the sea and loses her memory. She gets rescued by bankrupt merchant Million (Raymond Wong), who poses as her father and tries to marry her off to rich old maid Yau’s (Sandra Ng) nephew. Meanwhile, Million’s actual daughter Nightingale (Lynn Xiong) has been mistaken for the princess and sent to the palace. Emperor Ocean (Louis Koo) also thinks it’s time to find a suitor for his sister!
