Synopsis

While the saying “Like father, like son” holds true for most fathers and sons, it does not for CHOR FAN (Sunny Chan) and CHOR TSZ (Ron Ng). There is a world of difference between their personalities, manners of dealing with people and even goals in life. FAN is an out-and-out 60’s person, whereas TSZ believes he is well ahead of the 21st century. A thought-provoking time travel modern comedy, A Chip Off the Old Block reminds audience of the Chinese saying “Man is not born to greatness, he achieves it by his own efforts.” TSZ is accidentally sent back from the 21st century to the 1960s. He befriends his father, who is a young man then. FAN puts TSZ up in his place, where TSZ comes to know the stingy KO SHAN CHEUN (John Chiang), who runs a noodle stall, the shrewish landlady TAM LAN CHING (Gigi Wong), the argumentative CHING LAN FUN (Shirley Yeung), who later becomes his sweetheart, and LEUNG PIN PIN (Nancy Wu), who comes from a rich family. TSZ is always abusing and offending people. Other tenants, especially corrupt sergeant NGAU CHING WING (Yuen Siu Cheung), hate him very much. Except for FAN, who always defends him and even later introduces him a job at a department store. In the 60’s now, TSZ however is as flamboyant as when he is in the 21st century. He finds FAN being too old-fashioned and kind-hearted. He almost makes other tenants homeless once, and he tries to destroy FAN and SO FUNG NI’s (Myolie Wu) relationship. Later when he realizes his wrong doings, he is shocked to know that..

巴不得爸爸

俗谚虽有云「虎父无犬子」,但对於楚氏两父子来说的确有点牵强,因他俩不论性格、对人处事、甚至人生目标都是南辕北辙。父亲楚帆(陈锦鸿)由内到外尽是六十年代情怀、儿子楚慈(吴卓羲)则嫌自己活在廿一世纪步伐还太慢;一个跨时空、跨时代的时装喜剧,当中发生的情节不单使人百般回味,更让人悟思到「将相本无种,男儿当自强」的硬道理。

廿一世纪的楚慈阴差阳错回到父亲楚帆年少气盛时的六十年代,父子情摇身变了兄弟情,楚慈获楚帆好心收留后,因而结识 了麵档缩骨老闆高山泉(姜大伟),泼辣包租婆谭兰青(黄淑仪) 、斗气小情人程兰芬(杨思琦)及千金小姐梁翩翩(胡定欣)。楚慈得罪人多,称呼人少,令同屋共住如敛财沙展牛正荣(阮兆祥)等人皆对他神憎鬼厌,只有楚帆一直处处维护他,又介绍他到百货公司工作,但好大喜功的楚慈一如过往,只懂埋怨父亲作风守旧、损己利人的性格,更不慎连累同屋共主几乎无家可归;楚慈又恶意破坏父亲与老千苏凤妮(胡杏儿)的感情关係,正当他悔悟过来时,才知道自己原来……。
