He learns a lot from his intelligent and Western-educated son (Lam), who looks up to him as a somebody because of his one time shot as a stock car racer. He doesn't seem him self that way and hopes to redeem himself by racing again... <br /> <br /> I didn't know what to expect when I saw this movie in a theater in Canada, but I thought it was pretty funny and enjoyable. Lau is good as a cranky nobody, but evolves into a loving father. The kid was kind of annoying at first but he became likable. And this was the first time I saw Hsu Chi, and she was great and cute in the movie too. And it was cool to see Cecilia Yip again in a film. It's a good mix of comedy and drama and is obviously underrated. But it deserves a second look. I've watched it several times. Let's watch it again... <br /> <br /></div> </p> Reviewer Score: 8 </TD> </TR> <tr> <td> <hr> </td> </tr> <TR> <TD> <a name="1"> <b>Reviewed by:</b> <a href="http://hkmdb.com/db/reviews/list.mhtml?sort=review&first_letter=Inner Strength">Inner Strength</A><br> <b>Date:</b> 05/05/2002<br> <b>Summary:</b> Bad <p> <div class="hft-lines">I don't know why I bothered watching this one again, it's awful.
