I’ll look into it. Hard to find good movies these days. I recommend “Eat Drink Man Woman” if you haven’t seen it.
Eat Drink Man Women is a good movie but people should be warned it’s premised on a homosexual relationship.
It opened in Wisconsin August 15. I only found it because I had a couple of free passes to the local theatre and was checking the movie listings for Friday night. I started reading the reviews and watching the trailers and found this gem. Boy, was it worth my evening! Laughed and laughed. I have seen no other discussion of it, except at Rotten Tomatoes, or Fandango. I think this is Academy Award material, except they seldom recognize comedies.
Constance is funny and one hell of a fine lookin woman
Are you sure you have the right movie? I don’t recall anything about homosexuality in that film. Not one thing.
Which one is Constance? There are a lot of fine looking women in that movie!
Thanks for the recommendation-——it’s playing near me and I’ll be sure to see it-——sounds like fun.

I watched the trailer. It looked like a real chick flick.
This is called a spoiler.
Not really. In real life there's many a slip twixt the cup and the lip! She accepted the ring, and that's where they left it. There are still a lot of devious forces (women) working against this couple. LOL
I looked her up. Constance Wu plays the star — Rachel Chu. You are absolutely right in your assessment.
The Wedding Banquet is overt, not premised.
And a daughter character is a lesbian in Dim Sum Funeral.
FWIW, both EDMW and Banquet are in the rotation this month on the MGM channel.
Then it ain’t a good movie!
I attended a party where they bought the theatre and invited all their friends; we had a blast! The movie is entertainment at its near-best. I mean its not perfect, but is funny and a good investment of your time and ticket price.
It’s a story about a relationship, so you know the basic plot. BGG_BLG_BGGB
See it and laugh. I’m old and I really enjoyed the movie.
I went to school with the author. Should be interesting. He graduated early... at 16. Prodigy.
Great movie? No. But, it was very entertaining.... And that’s why I go to see a movie,
The plot, outside of the fact this its Asians, is VERY familiar. The acting was spotty... Often very good. Often weak,
Visually beautiful film.... Pretty funny. Interesting characters.
Much better than most of the trash coming out of H-wood these days.
