Review | My Best Bet: Charlene Choi, Louis Cheung battle gambling addiction
3.5/5 stars
A woman with a severe gambling addiction marries a man with an over-the-top aversion to people who gamble in this Lunar New Year comedy from writer-director Andy Lo Yiu-fai.
Charlene Choi Cheuk-yin plays Ching, a pathological gambler who got her start when her gambling addict mother brought her into the world, before abandoning her and her younger brother, Ming (Mirror band member Stanley Yau Sze-chun), leaving Ching to provide for both with her burgeoning gambling skills.
The two get hitched in no time – even though Jing, who hates gamblers with a passion, stays oblivious to his wife’s predicament.
