It's been many years since I first watched this film and I think that back then I really took it for granted. Comparing it to all that has come since it is a wonder. A beautiful love story with dots of humour and angst... Yet neither of them die and we get a truly happy ending. It's a shame to say that is a rarity in LGBT media today. Great film, production, acting and all round message. A true insight into Asian American life and traditions too. Really can't fault it.

This is more than just a romantic drama. It is a deep dive into the Chinese American subculture of Flushing, New York. Winner of several Asian and GLAAD awards, it faithful portrays the forces at play in bending cultural norms. The performances are great. The characters are endearing. I give this film an 8 (noteworthy) out of 10.

I recently stumbled across this movie as it was touted as the best lesbian comedy of the last twenty years. In short, every scene was perfect and the movie is fantastic. While the movie is about two woman who are falling in love it did not beat the viewer over the head with the difficult decision to come out. The movie is actually about people (not just the leads) struggling to break free of societal and familial expectations. The acting is fantastic (I was disappointed to see that for the most part the actors never really broke through to the next level), the script is tight and the ending is perfect. follow me at https://IHATEBadMovies.com or facebook IHATEBadMovies
