A romantic comedy about right, wrong andieverythingiin between.
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.

An honest and wonderful film. - 4 out of 5 (11/16/2005)
When I first saw the preview for this movie, I was rather skeptical about watching yet another stereotypical Asian romantic movie. Instead, this movie was one of the best I have ever watched.
