Konterr Brilliant and touching

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

ZoraKitty This movie was OK. Not good not great not awesome. It was just OK. First of all the character Liam Wu is creepy. He's 28 years old and dating a high school student! That's gross. Technically he's a pedophile. Even if he didn't kiss her or have sexual intercourse, he's still a pedophile. And looking at all the reviews I'm guessing you guys missed that? Anyway the movie was fine and it went smoothly but it was lacking something. I mean it was funny but Liam's sarcastic and pessimistic personality made watching the rest of the movie tedious. Then there was the fact that when he first came back from China to get his stuff, he was acting all high and mighty and told his friend not to call him Liam because that was his "slave name". That's kind of insulting, and I get that he was trying to be funny but that didn't make any sense at all. Oh and one more thing! The DVD picture that had a huge close up of Hayden? One question. Why? The movie wasn't about her it was about Liam.

thomaschau2000 I read the comments on here and went in expecting something really good.I was so very disappointed by this movie. I really like this movie on one level but I think it could be A LOT better. Something was lacking. The characters don't seem to click, the ending felt incomplete and there was not enough relationship development. Why did they have a topless scene is beyond my comprehension.The acting was good, there was enough humour to keep me smiling and the music was heart warming.I totally recommend the movie to everyone but I only give it an E for Effort.If you are reading my comment, ignore how others are over-hyping this movie. Expect only a 6/10 from this movie.

Eclectic might have spoilers!!!I m still confused why this movie received such a high rating on IMDb. It is poorly directed(so what if its his first), has average actors and a shitty story line. This is an attempt by an inferiority complex-ed Chinese guy to lash out at the "snobbish" Americans. Ken leung is rather pathetic, he manages to "score" white chicks with stupid lines and then gets to act all superior towards them. And whats with the stories of childhood harassment(we are discussing a 7 yrs old's penis...??) Hayden is rather irritating at times and obviously retarded cause she picks up bored looking Chinese men from a bus.Then tries desperately to act like a 16 yr old, with her weird antics. and kelly hu, although hot, is useless, whats with all the crap about Chinese way of life and low wages.?? Give me a break. Please avoid this by all means.

Yang Li Regardless of some of the stereotypical female characters, unrealistic situations (i.e. white girl picking up Asian guy on a bus), this movie explores some very real issues and important themes.One of the reasons i think this movie has been taking a lot of flak for its characters development is its the first of its kind to have a Asian American MALE LEAD who DOESN"T fit the stereotypical molds. So obviously, lots of things are unrealistic. But lets examine why they seem unrealistic and seemingly improbable. It is because its never been portrayed.Media defines culture. Music, movies, literature, art, these things are what defines culture, so obviously anything that happens in the world that can be attributed to any of the aforementioned mediums has credibility and realism, and anything that does not seem improbable. But we have to remember, HUMAN BEINGS write literature, create art, make music and direct movies. WE are in control of what defines us, and i think this movie does a great job in creating a NEW definition of what normal Asian Americans can be like, again it is a movie, so its hypothetical. Does anyone not watch spider man? Again the point is not about whether its realistic, because it is, i've seen it and i've been where this character's been, the emotions that are portrayed are very real, and if your not Asian American, or are not 1.5 generational Asian American, then you simply do not experience this cultural identity confusion and you probably will not understand this movie. But for those who fit the description and can identify with ken leung's character, this movie contains very real emotions, and of course we should be the ones that like this movie. it is kind of a movie about Asian Americans.
