What happens

《我愛花天嬌》()是1996年上映的一部香港電影,由黄靖華執導,杜國威編劇,吳家麗、王喜、錢小豪等主演。原名為《懵仔多情》。 背景為1973年的香港,脱衣舞女郎花天嬌(吳家麗飾演)與弱智少年水泡餅(王喜飾演)在一片反貪腐掃黃的氛圍中乘亂逃出,靠著行骗維生。天嬌有個兒子,卻被生父脱衣舞場大哥龍頭坤(錢小豪飾演)賣给他人。天嬌只知道兒子的屁股上有胎記,因此思念兒子的她四處詢問其下落,只要遇到年紀相仿的年輕人,天嬌甚至設法看他屁股,更一度以為水泡餅是她兒子。天嬌與水泡餅亦在這且行騙、且尋子的路途中發展出若有似無、像母子卻又像冤家般的情誼。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
