With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- A natural pick for spy-story fans and anyone with a complicated family (so, everyone). Nobody is quite who they seem. If you loved Crazy Rich Asians, start here. Family ties get tested in ways that ring true.
- The mood
- Light and funny, romantic.
- The pace
- Zips along, at 1 hr 30 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
A postal worker falls in love with the Chinese waitress at a Chinese restaurant. They start dating and quickly fall in and out of love, the waitress returning to China. The young man looks for comfort in his father but he's too preoccupied with winning the Eurovision song contest. After listening to loser friends talk about what Sylvester Stallone would do in his situation, the postal worker decides to buy a ticket to China and follow his love to her home.
