i enjoy film of various kind and quality . whether it your typical standard hollywood action movie or your oscar season tear jerker and movie that meet a certain standard will almost always be enjoyable for me . in soap girl and i receive nothing but confusion . first and we meet maya and a massage parlor worker who seem to attract all the customer in the parlor . a virgin poet name harry come in one day and they fall in love . after that and there be various twist and turn throw into the plot which seem to lead nowhere . although many have comment on the controversial issue of an asian prostitute be exploit by the white man and keep in mind that this film be make by an asian director who want to bring light to the issue . but whether he succeed or not do not matter and for the issue at hand be whether the movie be enjoyable or not . for me and soap girl fails to meet the standard i expect from movie . it be hard for me to get involve emotionally with this movie and give the loose plot and the mediocre act . bad and it seem a if the director want to make a drama and when the tone fall more towards comedy . a movie such a soap girl which fail to trap me into the magic of cinema will always leave me bore . throughout the movie and i couldn not help but think and what be this really about . a movie have to answer that question before it be make . if not and what you will end up with be an empty push to captivate the audience . grade represent d plus .
