After the poorly executed but stylishly designed Skyline Cruisers, Leon Lai is back to what he does best - starring in a romantic comedy. This time round he plays OK Lai, a property salesman who cheats and lies his way in and out of every situation. His life takes a turn when he meets Wonderful (Cheung), a beautiful office clerk whose luck with partners is just as bad as OK's.

By chance, they both meet a Tibetian Buddhist who foretells the both of them that they will meet their fateful partners in the very near future. But a case of mistaken identity keeps the comedy antics flowing as Wonderful thinks OK is the rich cousin of her boss. Both OK and Wonderful soon fall in love with each other, but Wonderful still doesn't know what a lying two-faced deceitful git he is. Fact is, OK tries to be sincere with Wonderful, but could not shake off his habit of lying, and his mistaken identity situation is becoming more and more dangerous by the minute.

The bubble finally bursts when OK is revealed to be the cheat that he is by his on and off girlfriend, who is the sister of Wonderful's boss. In a bid to woo back Wonderful, OK goes for a transformation, by deciding not to lie anymore. Sounds complicated? You needn't be, as Everyday is Valentine is a simple romantic love story that doesn't stretch the imagination. Indeed the plot is nothing original, and the film seems to focus more on the comedy than the romance.

Leon Lai does his job quite convincingly as OK Lai, but he is not a born comedian; he has to rely on others to pull his jokes off, which are, fortunately, quite funny in some scenes. However, his on-screen relationship with Cecilia Cheung doesn't quite meet the expectations that an on-screen couple are meant to have. In some instances, their role-play lacks that special sparkle and often seems strained. Even the ending seems to be an afterthought, and needn't be there in the final cut.

Marks should be given for the excellent supporting cast which includes Ng Man-tat, Cheung Tat-ming, Yuen Kuei and Pinky Cheung, amongst others. Everyday is Valentine is well thought out - with some hilarious situations, but mostly you will find that it is these that are worth watching than the actual romance between OK Lai and Wonderful.
