Enjoyable Film With James Kyson Lee in the Lead September 21, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
James Kyson Lee proves he can carry a film as a leading man. Fortunately, he's also in good company with fellow actors to share the screen with, an amusing script that allows for physical comedy (mostly physical reactions) and a director who knows how to move the story along.
Jim Lee (JKL) was due to be married to the woman he loved, only she's run off with the Filipino DJ who was going to be performing at their reception. If you're not familiar with Chinese culture, it's like pouring salt onto an open wound. A friend takes him on trip to get away from it all and it's there he meets a wouldbe girlfriend. Unfortunately, Jim has also asked his friend (who happens to be an assassin) to murder him before Valentine's Day. With the date looming just ahead and the potential for love on the horizon, anything could happen.
The only complaint I had was the dramatic and somewhat violent final act that felt as if it came out of nowhere before settling back down. Fortunately, it doesn't last as long as it could have and doesn't take away from the film much.
All in all, very enjoyable, especially with Composer George Shaw's score complimenting it.

Rare Asian American Comedy. Very funny, great script writting and love the way it captures the stereotypes. A little exaggerated perhaps but that's what makes this film funny.

Worth seeing August 5, 2008

This is a film that's worth seeing. It breaks the stereotype of Asian men being portrayed as nerds and "foreigners." There are many humorous moments and while many scenes are hit or miss, it comes across as an entertaining film with a terrific performance by James Kyson Lee of "Heroes."
