What happens

All's Well, Ends Well or abbreviated as AWEW (Chinese: 家有囍事) is a 1992 Hong Kong comedy film directed by Clifton Ko. The film stars Leslie Cheung, Stephen Chow, Raymond Wong, Maggie Cheung, Sandra Ng, and Teresa Mo. All's Well, Ends Well was a Lunar New Year film, where a film's release was timed to coincide with the larger movie audience at that time of year. The movie is also one of Stephen Chow's trademark 'mo lei tau' films of little sense but much good-natured humour, and is still considered to be a cult classic by most Hong Kong audiences. The film was followed by seven sequels: All's Well, Ends Well Too (1993) All's Well, Ends Well 1997 (1997) All's Well, Ends Well 2009 (2009) All's Well, Ends Well 2010 (2010) All's Well, Ends Well 2011 (2011) All's Well, Ends Well 2012 (2012) All's Well, Ends Well 2020 (2020) (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
