Love Me, Love My Money

Skinflint businessman Richard (Leung) doesn't feel bad when he sacks his employees and secretary to cut unnecessary costs. He also doesn't bat an eyelid when his gold-digging girlfriend leaves after he refuses to give her money. She gets her revenge by cancelling his credit cards and giving away his furniture. Suddenly destitute, he's forced to rely on the generosity of Choi (Shu Qi), a good Samaritan who helps him out even though she thinks he's a scumbag who makes a habit of cheating women out of money.

Directed by Wong Jing, Love Me, Love My Money leans on a strong ensemble — Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Shu Qi, Gordon Lam Ka-Tung — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2001.
