Description

When 48-year-old widow Hwei-Lan Gao (Joan Chen) informs her less-than understanding father she's pregnant, he banishes her from Flushing until she remarries or proves Immaculate Conception. With nowhere else to go, Hwei-Lan moves in with her grown daughter, Wil (Michelle Krusiec), a Manhattan doctor who doesn't want a roommate, especially since she's met Viv (Lynn Chen), her sexy young lover. So Wil does what any dutiful child with an expectant, unmarried mother on her hands would do: she proceeds to set Hwei-Lan up with every eligible bachelor in town.

    Everything about this movie is great! Wonderful casting--Brodsky and Griffiths do a splendid job! I love how the story unfolds and it’s so easy to become drawn to these characters. Emotional, silly, cute, loving, and absolutely charming. I love the Tai Chi metaphor and the smoking-on-the-balcony symbolism. Michelle Krusiec and Lynn Chen have great chemistry. Alice Wu does fine work here! YAY!

    This is one of my all time favourite movies. Extremely enjoyable throughout with great performances (Big fan of Joan Chen). I still laugh at the mother/daughter banter even though I have seen it a million times. Its hilarious, touching and really just what a romantic comedy should be. I wish there were more gay themed movies out there that were made with such warmth. Highly recommend.

  • I loved it!

    This movie is warm and absolutely funny! Not to mention the fact that the leading cast of women are drop dead gorgeous! I loved each characters part and the overall story and the soundtrack it great too. Wish I would have known about this movie sooner. Alice Wu made a enjoyably great film and the cast was amazing to watch. Kudos to them!
