MCT:July 20, 2008One of the first GLBT movies i bought, on Laserdisc even lol. Just a well done movie, good acting, good chemistry.

MCT:May 4, 2008Wonderful portrait of what seems like a good idea at the time which spins wildly out of control and changes everyone involved, ultimately for the better even if its not immediately apparent at the time. Beautiful ending.

Well before 'Brokeback' Ang Lee made this delightful little movie. It's touching and well worth watching.

Great movie! I loved it when I saw it after it first came out, and still have same opinion after seeing again a few weeks ago.

a well-made gay movie depicting explicitly the conlict between homosexuality and chinese culture, presenting truthfully how hard it is for gay ppl to survive in a tradtitional society.

This is a comedy about a marriage of convenience between a gay Taiwanese-American and a Chinese woman without a green card. At first glance it is a win-win situation, but of course it gets more complicated than that. It starts out as a light comedy but gradually darkens as it goes along. This is a "feel good movie" without a strained cheesy end, and I like it.

This movie was very funny but at the same time there was great suspension between all these Taiwanese people with strict traditions and stuff... it was fun to watch...

I have to say this was a favourite of mine! The way that Chinese culture interacts with Western culture in a gay context. Yeah Ang Lee!

No wonder Ang Lee was so capable in making Brokeback Mountain since this is his first & Asian version!

That's sick. I have no problem with homosexuals. I just think that it is sick to make sport of their way of life.

another early an lee, very funny, and well done, deals a little with old ways clashing with modern times.

A excellent comedy about generational and cultural differences. On the surface it may seem like a simple romantic comedy, but the story really explores a lot of issues like the changing values and customs of different generations as well as the homo and heterosexual dynamics. Even though the story takes place in Brooklyn, it is actually a very Chinese film. Many traditional Chinese customs are practiced, which may be confusing to Western viewers.

One of those films that leaves you feeling good about life and has humor to it. Ang Lee is a great director and this is one of his most entertaining films.

Before Brokeback Mountain, there was another magic work of Ang Lee. This is one of his most entertaining work.

Watching random movies good, especially when the story keeps your interest (seeing everything unravel). The chinese dude's father rocked. :p

I didn't know what to expect from this movie. but I actually really liked it. Well the premise is a gay couple one is chinese, he hasn't told his parents that he is gay, but they(the gay couple) have a beautiful female chinese tenant & his parents come to visit. So he gets his tenant to pretend that they are married also with tradition his parents make them do this wedding banquet for his family & friends. funny & a little quirky at times. But beautifully acted.

I loved the dynamics between all the characters and the plot to just get through the hetrosexual act until the traditional asian family went home was both funny and endearing.
