Fun dramedy about a Chinese American family dealing with their unlikable dad becoming more likable with his bout of depression. It's a good indie, and those who enjoy fresh takes on family dynamics will enjoy this.

If you are part of a Chinese American family, you will enjoy a lot of the cultural references, (and if you're not, you'll enjoy getting a peak into some of the fun things about Chinese American families!) For that matter, if you are part of a family... then you'll enjoy this relatable story.

The director and cast do well creating a relatable family dynamic. There are not enough films about siblings, so this is a good addition to that underrepresented genre.

This is a perfect example of what great independent film can be. It takes place in two rooms, but is so well made that you never wish it was opened up. The realtime storytelling makes the heart wrenching story even more effective. Great acting, especially by Frankie Faison, Enrico Natale and Tom McElroy. I hope this film finds a wider audience. It deserves it.
