Plots(1)
Beijing banker Fat (Richie Jen) is going back to Guangdong to visit the family, and his parents are demanding he bring his girlfriend. The only problem is that his other half, Rachael (Kate Tsui), is an outspoken, domineering career woman who champions short skirts and pole dancing, and she has no intentions of buttoning up for Fat's traditional parents. The couple cook up a crack plan: hire a girlfriend who is sexier and more western than Rachael to scare the folks, so that when Rachael comes around, they'll love her automatically in comparison! Modest, but broke teacher Joe (Fan Bingbing) ends up getting picked for the job. Just like the contract says, she dolls up and wreaks havoc, but the plan hits some speed bumps. Fat's parents are more embracing of Joe than expected, and it seems Fat himself may be falling for this Contract Lover. (official distributor synopsis)
