Featured Actress: Michelle Krusiec - Interesting 2004 comedy/drama offers a fascinating look at culture clash, mother-daughter relationships, the Chinese-American community in New York, and lesbian love affairs.
Wil is a Chinese-American surgeon. Her mom, a very traditional Chinese, shows up on her doorstep pregnant with no husband, a big shame in the community. To heal her pain, Mom hopes to finally get Wil matched up with a "Mr. Right", who of course must be Chinese.
During an anniversary party attended by most of the community, Wil meets Vivian, a Chinese-American dancer whose father is her boss. They fall in love, but although Vivian's parents have no problem with the relationship, Wil is afraid to tell her mother, who would be horrified.
This could be described as a chick flick, but it is fascinating and extremely well done, with terrific acting and script, and is well worth your time.
