Ko San Ping (Anita Yuen, perennially cute) can&apos;t find a job. But her luck turns a corner when she finds three magic pearls in an antique store; she gets three wishes from a scantily clad genie named Bolobolo (Michael Wong). Ko&apos;s biggest wish is to meet her long-estranged conductor/director sister Pearl Ko (ultra-cute Christy Chung). They both end up chasing after the studly genie, a god-in-training who doesn&apos;t have &quot;a dicky.&quot; The plot is okay, but the film parodies are what make this one roll: included is a famous satire of SPEED (with Yuen as Sandra Bullock), Chinese TORTURE CHAMBER STORY (with Yuen getting tortured with office supplies [!?]) and Christy Chung&apos;s clunker MERMAID GOT MARRIED; but HK art-film director Wong Kar Wai gets the worst of it -- his ASHES OF TIME is recast with a hideous female impersonator playing Brigitte Lin&apos;s role (!), and CHUNGKING EXPRESS gets some nasty jibes, too.

Michael Wong is the genie who gives her three wishes, which leads to a lot of hilarity and even a little heartbreak.
