True love is truly worth the wait, as Jeff Lau's romantic sports comedy The Fantastic Water Babes  is finally revealed to the world after its release was delayed for two years. Set almost entirely on the island of Cheung Chau, Lau uses the community as the setting for his unique brand of eccentric humor and poignant romance. The writer-director's portrayal of the seaside town and its people may not be entirely accurate, but it's nevertheless filled with plenty of offbeat local charm that the bustling metropolis doesn't offer. Twins' Gillian Chung and pop idol Alex Fong Lik Sun lead an eccentric cast that includes Eva Huang (Kung Fu Hustle), Stephen Fung (Enter the Phoenix), Simon Lui (Troublesome Night series), and even Olympic gold medallist diver Tian Liang in a special cameo.

Gil (Gillian Chung) is a vengeful girl who's just lost her boyfriend. Out of reckless anger, she joins the Fantastic Water Babes swimming competition against her romantic rival and her friends (including model Chrissie Chau), even though she doesn't know how to swim. When celebrity swimmer Yuen (Alex Fong Lik Sun) doesn't follow through on his public promise to help her, Gil kidnaps him to Cheung Chau to make him teach her and her friends how to swim. With the entire community of Cheung Chau working to keep Yuen on the island, there is no escape for him. Yuen slowly comes to like the community and Gil, but will that make her give up her revenge plan?

Originally scheduled for release in 2008, "The Fantastic Water Babes" was postponed to 2010 due to the Edison Chen sex scandal involving Gillian Chung.
