  Wai, Wah and May are professional con-artists and they work as a team. Wai's intention to flirt with an attractive but widowed woman deviates and steers toward the nature of his trade once he learns that this woman is also loaded with money. He hurriedly gathers the wisdom of his mates and makes good use of it. But, in the end, they are struck a humiliating blow when they realise that instead of falling victim to their trick this woman has outwitted them as she is also in the same trade. They find this hard to swallow and decide to recruit the help of their master in order to avenge for the shamful defeat....

This customer review refers to Great Pretenders (DVD) (Hong Kong Version)
A downmarket "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" Customer Review Rated Bad 6 - 6 out of 10
The "Great Pretenders" are a gang of swindlers who come up with complex schemes to cheat rich people out of their dough. Comprised of Wong Seung Chin (Raymond Wong, who wrote the screenplay for the movie), Snake Wai (Tony Leung Chiu Wai), Yip Mei Mei (Amy Yip), and Yam Sai Sung (Simon Yam), the swindlers first set their sights on a the lovely Susan So (Lok Wai), a young woman from Singapore with an inherited fortune. However, Susan is more wily than she appears and she sees through the complicated swindle. The gang then recruits Susan to help them swindle the ruthless loan shark Lung Choi Tan (Leung Tin); for this task, they also need to call in the greatest swindler of all, Mr. Giant (Teddy Robin).

There is lots of over-the-top slapstick humor (mostly provided by Tony Leung, who appears willing to do just about anything for a laugh, and Simon Yam, doing an outrageous homosexual schtick), lots of Amy Yip's cleavage, and lots of mahjong, dominoes, and poker. The English subtitles are remarkably bad, making some of the dialogue impenetrable to those who don't speak Cantonese. "The Great Pretenders" strives only to be a wacky diversion and that's what it provides. If your expectations are modest, you may find it an amusing throw-away comedy.
