迈克迪里安第三作，出其不意，挑战疯狂喜剧类型，开宗明义纯属虚构，至于有没有实际影射，就留待观众自行参透。日本黑道贩毒走私，带货到菲岛的笨贼屡次失手，以为想出好桥万无一失，却仍然甩辘，更引来华人黑帮虎视眈眈。基斯杜化迪里安饰演二撇鸡痴心情圣，一心追求靓靓空姐，无辜卷入走粉惊魂，一盒奇怪录音带，内藏不可告人的黐线秘密。非常荒诞，又非常颠覆，直闯天主教国家禁区，暗讽宗教如**，教堂有古怪，修女也疯狂。后段演变成歌舞片，亦似是佐杜洛斯基的人物食错药乱入神经派对。漫画化夸张手法，玩尽中日情仇与教会形象，其实笑里藏刀，向外国霸权的经济侵略暗放飞剑。
拍完几部社会题材的电影后，迈克迪里安转到家庭伦理。建筑商人丧妻，设计师是单亲妈妈，他带着儿子，她带着女儿，本来续弦正好重组幸福家庭。两个小孩却像前世捞乱骨头，终日贴错门神，令父母头痛不已，却不自知，恨的反面根本是压抑的爱。虽无血缘关系，但始终是兄妹之恋，不能承受的爱意，只能发展成互相折磨彼此伤害的扭曲关系。到他们长大后各有伴侣，情况更趋复杂，四个人之间的嫉妒、猜疑、报复，感情加倍夹缠不清，而恋人还是要尝到人间苦果，才懂得爱是什么。当年票房报捷，表面是通俗剧情节，内里仍是迈克迪里安一贯关心的家庭失序、男权宰制、女性追求自主等主题。
