This has garnered many fans...
It's clumsy...and, as irritating as genital warts...
One speaks English, the other Chinese - the parents are interfering farts who deserve to face a firing squad...
The sugar-overdosed script rots the core of reality.
16 years later...Alice Wu directed the fantastic The Half of It - proving that everything improves with age!

The(ir) Blurb...
In Manhattan, the brilliant Chinese-American lesbian surgeon Wil is surprised by the arrival of her forty-eight year old widow mother to her apartment. Ma was banished from Flushing, Queens, when her father discovered that she was pregnant. The presence of Ma affects the personal life of Wil, who is in love with the daughter of her boss at the hospital, the dancer Vivian Shing. Once her grandfather has promised that her mother would only return to Flushing remarried or proving that it was an immaculate conception, Wil tries to find a Chinese bachelor to marry Ma.
