Beautiful, moving film.
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
I was thoroughly entertained by this Asian American twist on Meet the Parents. I found myself laughing out loud at some of the jokes and nodding knowingly at that all-too-familiar tension between the new boyfriend and girl's father. What makes this movie different is the way they captured the essence of the way this dynamic plays out in Asian American families. Remember Amy Chua and her book "The Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother?" This movie shows a graphic picture of how the Chinese Tiger Mother and Father would approach dating. The cast did a superb job acting, as each character seemed to have such distinct personalities. This is a great date night movie.
This movie is just plain and simple, good. I loved it. I as captivated from the moment it started until it ended. The story line was great and the cast was phenomenal. The performances were great and I was laughing so hard, I literally almost spit soda out. It was an epic moment, for an epic movie. I recommend it to all. Such a fabulous hidden treasure of a film. I loved that it seemed a bigger movie than what the allotted budget was. There were the "unknown" cast and they did such a great job. I honestly wouldn't have guessed that they weren't "BIG" time movie stars. They really took some of the scenes. The leads were also so appropriately cast. It was the perfect match. I see a bright future for this entire cast and for this movie!
