IHMO REVIEW :
i'd also add if you're asian it'll make your cringe - the mother character reminded me of my mother... ooo ouch... yikes... pow...

FYI for the fellas - rent this movie to show you're a caring individual who loves romatic comedies with heart. then watch it for the asian lesbian scene. ho ho!

the story of this movie is very typical of asian culture - as you go older in generation it becomes more and more strict. the movie about the interaction between the lesbian daughter and her mother - and her mother to her parents. the mother (who is a widow) becomes pregant - which is a huge no no. she is kicked out of her parents house (the grandparent's house) and is told that she MUST marry.

the mother goes to live with her daughter whose a med student/doctor + lesbian which her mother refuses to believe and constantly tries to set her up with single men.

it's an interesting story of how past cultures are mixed with that of american culture and where children who grew up here must live a mixed cultured life - what makes the movie so interesting to watch (and i don't just mean the lesbian scenes) is the movie looks at what happens to those cultures as they are faced with personal desires which are contrary to what they were raised with.
