MCT:June 30, 2008initially i was very irritated with the behaviour of the daughters, i found them very callous, but then again, we all have our moments. what made the film for me was the journey of ed (tzi ma) and julie (elaine kao). other character comments, i found "alex" to be super-creepy (mainly the facial hair) and i felt very bad for "lucky" XD.
this is a promising debut and i cannot wait to see more from georgia lee. -
MCT:June 26, 2008Fantastic movie! Amazing story plot. Here's an interesting movie about a Chinese-American family that connect, and help each other, in the various day-to-day life, in both good and hard times. Great cast. Hilarious! A must-see!

MCT:June 26, 2008i felt that the film didn't really spend enough time on each character and a lot of assumptions had to be made. i guess that's the intention of the film somehow but it works.

MCT:April 20, 2008i just couldnt get into this film i just didnt enjoy it. ok the story is cool with 3 love storys intertwined but they just didnt get me. the disfunctional one with the 2school guys was entertaiing just for the jokes but the others were just poor. and the dad part of the story was pathetic ok your retired deal with it! this film will be for some people just not me...

For anyone wanting to learn the dynamics of Chinese and American cultures in America, this is a film that offers viewers unique viewing windows to see.

MCT:February 5, 2007i loved this. i saw several aspects of Chinese culture that were all too familiar. The father in here is solemnly complexed yet at the same time, acts as the reluctant 'comic relief'. i was a little shocked to see Jacqueline Kim. XENA fans should recognize Kim as she appeared in the show playing (one of) Xena's interest. It's a shame her character was straight, or else she would have hit the nail as a disillusioned, LESBIAN career woman. like I said, it's a shame. The whole dangerous pranking thing between Katie and her little boyfriend Simon is oddly adorable and gives a whole new meaning to the term "Love/hate relationship". And now, imo the best part of the movie, is the two new lovers, Julie and Mia. While their story plot was very typical and slightly monotonous, I enjoyed it most. Of course, it'll be so great if/when parents walk in on their kids getting it on with their lovers and accept their homosexuality. That would make coming out so much easily. But then again, in the real world, it's usually and ironically much more melodramatic.
I just hope to God I am as lucky.
