Thi Mai

As soon to be adoptive parents, this movie is completely unrealistic. The movie portrays adoption in ways that I found difficult to stomach, in particular because adoption in the movie was all about the parents (grandparents) while the needs of the child was played down. If you were looking for a movie about adoption to gain a deeper understanding of it as we were, stay away. If looking for a fun movie, it has its moments, but not massively so.

What a lovely movie with cultural charms and sweet humorous plot! Beautiful cinematography. Moving dialogues. Happy ending for every one. Yay!

It's not annover her top comedy but it has its funny moments. It's a sweet movie that tugs at your heartstrings and leaves you feeling good.

I thought the film incredibly touching and the whole cast brilliant . I liked the mixture of characters with their various complexities . The women , a close knit group of friends still had space for more friends in their lives . Will have to watch again with my husband .

Heartfelt and funny at the same time. What's interesting is the encounter of two distinct cultures with comedic outcomes. The other interesting aspect is the linguistic skill of a Vietnamese actor who appears to speak fluent Spanish. Or is it considering that Vietnam was once under a European colonial power?

The actors portraying the characters of Carmen, Rosa and Elvira are engaging, and the viewer feels he/she is part of the conversation.

They project true friendship.

The added bonus is you get to see some of the scenic spots of this fast-growing country like Ha Long Bay and Ho Hoan Kiem, one of several charming lakes in Hanoi.
