A whale of a story regarding the collision of old and modern, artfully played by young phenomenal actress. I have not cried at a movie in so long. But I was choking on tears over this amazing story about the meshing of old and new traditions to save a rich but dying culture. I was mesmirized by the young actress who took my breath away with each scene she was in. Her young face displayed more emotions than a weathered older person who had dealt with much in their lives. I felt her tears and understood her emotions so much! What a wonderful movie that gives us a glimpse of a culture that I have never even heard of! I loved it and highly recommend it to people of all ages - even the young ones!

As an american idol and kelly clarkson fan, i was looking forward to this movie coming out. i went into expecting little, but hoping to showcase kelly clarkson's talent. and thats what i got. kelly's voice fills in the holes and logical conclusions in the plot. and kelly and justin's duets are catchy and decent. enjoyed the film for what it was: a summer movie for junior high school kids of all ages.

This movie is startling...by denoting the typical asian american stereotypes, and showing the emotion and history of asian history. It's important to watch this film in order to see what it's like to try to identify with a culture. And the role the past has with dealing with the present and the future. this was a great movie, incendary at best. watch and you'll understand. The director also did a fine job at showing the turmoil within the angst filled teen and her mother and its manifestation.
