The movie is funny, touching and filled with the unexpected. It does a great job of showing the clash between two cultures and the priorities we set for ourselves because of our heritage. While it isn't at all like Lost in Translation, I'm still very glad I watched this movie. Queue this one up, it was a very good time.

I just watched this yesterday! It was pretty cute. I also saw Love and Other Disasters with her and that was much better. More chick flicky, but a solid one.
ReplyDeleteI would have rented this one had it been on iTunes :(
ReplyDeleteBrittany Murphy's ability to convey genuine vulnerability is a real draw for me.
RamblingHutch: Yea, it was definitely a cute flick. If I ever get roped into watching a chic flick I'll keep that recommendation in mind.
ReplyDeleteCheyelle: Stupid iTunes. She was definitely very vulnerable in this film and it seemed to have a very authentic edge too.
Yeah, I don't get how she became a leading lady either. She was good in Clueless, I guess...?
