Drink-Drank-Drunk

Miriam Yeung is Fung Siu-Man, a spunky Hong Kong girl who works as a Budweiser beer girl. For the uninitiated, a beer girl hangs out at local restaurants and hawks her sponsor's beer onto the local patrons. Despite the sordid-sounding job, Siu-Man is actually quite wholesome and is the standard Miriam Yeung type, i.e. mouthy and independent, and in need of a proper boyfriend. Triad tough guy Brother Nine (Alex Fong Chung-Sun) digs her, but she won't be his. Besides the fact that she doesn't like blustery triad dudes, Siu-Man can drink Brother Nine and every other guy under the table. Siu-Man's talent: total alcohol immunity, meaning nobody can get her drunk. Those expecting the movie to hinge on Siu-Man's inability to get drunk had best look elsewhere. Gratefully, this isn't a completely high-concept film. Siu-Man meets the inebriated Michel (Daniel Wu), a French-Chinese chef who runs a local French eatery. However, business is bad; it seems Michel's dishes are beyond the casual tastes of local Hong Kong residents, so it's closing time. Michel is so broke that he doesn't even have a place to live. Luckily, Siu-Man's apartment is inordinately large for a beer girl, plus she'd like to open her own cafe. She makes Michel a deal: run his restaurant at night, and she'll run a cafe by day, plus he'll get room and board at her flat. For added fun, they can pretend to be platonic roommates after hours. Big surprise: that doesn't happen, meaning audiences will swoon at the sight of Daniel Wu and Miriam Yeung getting it on pretty damn quick. But with the onset of a relationship comes all sorts of new troubles, i.e. commitment, marriage, differing goals, and the requisite romantic rivals. Will Siu-Man and Michel be able to make their cohabitation last?
