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.
If you're interested to take a peek on Chinese culture, watch Amy Tan's Joy Luck Club and learn more of it
"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)
Such a good movie. If you're looking for a great mother-daughter movie, this is it. Be prepared to cry.
Unbelievable beauty in the characters, setting, and story. The book is awesome, but watch this movie and you just might appreciate your mother more.
Yay for crazy Chinese families! It is moving, inspirational, and all those other cheesy squishy girlie feelings.
If you ever feel sad, watch this and you got to think; "I have it somehow much better, damnit..."
doesn't even compare to the novel but ming-na does her best. and this movie just reaffirms my love for waverly JONG.
that was such a sad movie, my eyes hurt when i was done watching it from crying!! :'( but it was good
A movie for all women, for all mothers and daughters. So poetic really, touching without being cheesy - most men just won't get it.
I love how it shows all aspects of their lives.. it was great.. wonderfully put together
For those of you who aren't Asian, you probably wouldn't be interested in this movie at first glance. No offense, but I totally empathize. I mean, you see them enough every day at school, don't you? =P Juuust kidding. But keep in mind, that I have a feeling this movie only really...( read more)
many similarities to my own family history - lots of drama. wayne wang did a great job of disstilling out the pivotal moments in each woman's story to bring her to the present.
Suyuan: That bad crab, only you tried to take it. Everybody else want best quality. You, your thinking different. Waverly took best-quality crab. You took worst, because you have best-quality heart. You have style no one can teach. Must be born this way.
took me several watch to understand the movie but it's a good heartful one
i watched this movie when it first came out, and was really bored - would like to see it again and make another opinion
Powerful. Almost too much - but not quite! What do we really know about our parents' struggles and would it matter? This movie suggests it does. I am writing my memories of my dad and mom so that they will never be just two names on a tombstone in Utah.
