    I will admit to seeing this movie in the name of "my 1000th review". This movie is about a bunch of Asian chicks that have bad relationships with everything. Not terrible though.

    I loved the book, and this adaptation wasn't bad either. Great acting. Great movie. Great story.

    Another movie that made me cry in every scene. The women's stories show how they have been through the tough times. Shows how strong one can be.

    beautiful story, a real chick flick
  • August 18, 2007
    "I like being tragic, Ma. I learned it from you". although I adore Amy Tan's writing, I was completely blown away by the film. all the women's heart-wrenching tales of survival and love (with insightful performances from the likes of one of my favorites Rosalind Chao) turned o...( read more)ut more powerful on the big screen. no daughter or mother will not see herself in one of the characters here.
