Released during CNY in 1987, this is D & B's highest-grossing blockbuster of all times, and its two sequels were as popular, constituting a well-known series. Mrs Bill always dreams of getting rich. After winning the lottery, however, the Bills are going to face unforeseen troubles...Slapstick and witticism well depict the societal panorama of the 1980s. Also thanks to the performance of the classic duo, Mr and Mrs Bill, their three daughters, nosy neighbours, snobbish relatives and Mr Bill's erratic boss, this film brought the house down. Comedy aside, the themes are still relatable nowadays, adding to the richness and realism.
