影片故事根据真实事件改编，詹姆斯·默里博士（梅尔·吉布森饰演）领导下的编委会要进行新版本的《牛津英语字典》的编辑，以当时的人力科技水平，完成字典的编撰要一个世纪才能完成，詹姆斯·默里博士开创性的采用了全民参与的方式，让全英使用英语的人一起为字典收集词条定义，并通过寄信的方式发送给编撰组。在收集定义过程中，他们发现了一个叫W.C.迈纳（西恩·潘饰演）的医生独自贡献了一万多条引语，这是一个专业语言学者都很难完成的工作量。当编委会决定向他致敬时，一个惊人的事实曝光了：原来迈纳医生，是美国内战时期部队的一个军医，因为患有精神分裂症而犯杀人罪，被禁闭在精神病院，是一个被认为是疯子的人。一位教授、一个疯子，人类历史上最早的英语大词典就这样在两个迥然不同的人手中诞生。

本片是林黛慼著在《金蓮花》和《貂蟬》兩奪亞洲影展最佳女主角拍攝的時裝片。她在片中飾演一名在孤兒院中長大的孤女，為了幫助孤兒院解決財務困難，偷偷參加時裝歌舞表演比賽，希望獲得獎金，但事情被脾氣火爆和頭腦守舊的院長王萊知悉，認為有失體面，於是一眾女同學為她掩飾，從而產生連串笑料，既有趣復有人情。其中時裝表演一場，林黛一邊載歌載舞（幕後代唱），一邊展示不同國家風俗的婚妙服裝，可謂極盡視聽之吳。影片的男主角陳厚素有「喜劇聖手」之稱，這是他與林黛的第三度合作，火花四濺！

（转自IMDB）Everything returns to normal after Chernobyl. That is, everything but art. Most of the great works are lost, and it is up to people like William Shakespear Junior the Fifth to restore the lost artwork of the human race. He finds strange goings-on at a resort enough to remind him of all the lines of the play, dealing with mob boss Don Learo and his daughter Cordelia, a strange professor named Jean Luc-Godard (sic), who repeatedly xeroxes his hand for no particular reason. He is followed by four humanoid goblins that keep tormenting Cordelia. There is also the gentleman whose girlfriend, Valerie, isn't always visible. Then the film is sent off to New York for Mr. Alien to edit.
