Movie Info

In search of a way to make their seedy family appear more legitimate, three mobster brothers set their sister Jang Jin-kyeong up with recent law school graduate Park Dae-seo. While their hope is that the two will fall in love, their tactic -- sliding the naked girl into bed with the unsuspecting young attorney -- is decidedly nontraditional. Still, if their plan doesn't work, the brothers are prepared to &NFi;make&NFi_; romance happen.

It's a comedy that tries too hard to be funny, therefore it isn't. It has a plot that tries too hard to be crazy and off the wall, so it isn't that either.

An engaging romantic farce with classic screwball overtones, offset by particularly vicious scenes of gangland violence.

The unusual cultural details add a little color to the usual romantic turbulence, but it's otherwise as rote as its American counterparts.

I found this movie really funny, the mafia family just amuses the hell out of me. The only parts I didn't like had to do with the teacher and the brother (melodramatic anyone?). The ending was great.
