i have hear of this film but do not get to see it until it would be select a one of the top 10 chinese language film of 2005 by the chinese film critic association . it certainly deserve this prestigious honour because this dramatic comedy have a solid story and good performance and beautiful scenery and amazing music . the story be about a single mother and jen ( veteran taiwanese actress sylvia chang ) and and her three not so model son . one by one the son fail her expectation in various way and mostly by become gay . in desperation she and with the help of a friend and kim chui ( martin yan in a surprisingly natural and understated performance ) and come up with a plan to make sure her young son leo stay straight and remain her pride and joy . this film deal with several phenomenon in the modern chinese society represent homosexuality and which could be a metaphor for any undesirable quality the kid take on against their parent wish while a middle age woman fight social pressure while and the change in the parent child relationship a the young generation of chinese move away from the traditional obey your elderly doctrine . the best part be all these important issue be reveal in a very entertaining comedy of manner . sylvia chang be wonderful a the suffering mother . the character of jen be like many mother and particularly chinese mother strong and resilient . her love for her son be express through feeding and provide for them and and choose for them what best for them . the best moment in the film for me be when jen realize all her boy have grow up and have a mind of their own . it be now up to her to change her way and discover that the best way to love them be to love them just the way they be .
