synopsis

As a realist story of the grassroots in town contrasting urban comedies that MP&GI excels in, For Better For Worse demonstrates the high level of esteem and respect that MP&GI directors and playwrights enjoy. Director and screenwriter Yue Feng proves his mastery of the family theme through his vivid and sensitive portrait of the unemployed husband (Zhang Yang) and his souring relationship with his wife and children. Helen Li Mei sets aside her previous roles of an independent working lady to successfully transform into a wife and mother who would do anything she can for the family. Long before her dominance in the Cantonese cinema, teenager Chan Pao-chu impresses her fans not only with her role as a loving daughter but also her fluent Mandarin.
