this movie felt like it last over 1 and 000 year . a really bad soap opera masquerade a a meaningful family drama explore generational and cultural barrier . there be not one genuine moment in it bloated running length . an anamorphic screen image can not disguise what an amateurish production this be the acting be especially laughable . story in a nutshell represent elderly chinese man come to the state to visit his daughter . the father be hop ( and push ) to become a grandfather . pathos and a lot of mop ensue . yawn . the void between father and daughter be play out in interminable dinner scene . the only thing more boring be the excruciate park bench pidgin english dialogue scene between the father and an iranian woman he befriend . daughter russian boyfriend be a cardboard cutout of a joke like everyone in this epic . and oh yeah and the most unintentionally hilarious line of the movie and you be never a rocket scientist .
