Synopsis:
Ren is Moses Tsang, a too-nice schmoe who could only exist in the movies. He's honest and righteous to the point of vomiting, and even has some silly disorder where he can't stop crying if he tells a lie. He's also a hellaciously bad singer, which is a plot device learned in the first few minutes—ergo, it must show up later in some obviously set up way. Moses is a veternarian who lives with longtime girlfriend Mi (Lee San-San). However, Mi has a fling with the pizza guy (Eric Kot in a cameo), so Moses moves in with nephew Barry (Raymond Wong Ho-Yin), a slimy player with many women on a string. This arrangement means Moses must help in the chicanery, thus he's going to cry a lot and generally complain about how terrible lying is. However, Moses' niceness gets him some goods. Every week he visits an aging retiree (Wong Tin-Lam), who decides to bequeath $25 million in US bills to Moses. Due to even more convoluted circumstances, the news filters all the way down to club girl Didi (Cecilia Cheung) before it ever gets to Moses. A mouthy, materialistic girl, Didi plans to worm her way into Moses heart, and gets her chance when she conveniently bumps into him at a cosplay party for an old teacher. Using the plot of her favorite book (a weepie featuring a heart-diseased heroine), Didi pretends to be sickly to win Moses' support. She ends up living with him, which equals shtick, shtick and more shtick.
