to make this short and sweet represent i hope this movie will not be consider the seminal work for the gener asian of american film making . the acting be sub par and rely on stereotype and raise voice and and exaggerate eye buggery to convey it message . chris chan park do not delve very deep into the any of his character and allow them to remain caricature of angry or frustrate or distant or uncommunicative asian . these depiction do not make character mysteriously appeal while it make them confuse and unsympathetic . i like to think that u asian be more complex than that . i come out of the movie unconvinced . unconvinced that these character have a life long and blood brother like connection with each other to go to the length they do to help their buddy out . unconvinced that the main character have anything beyond a superficial attraction to his girlfriend . unconvinced that hard work immigrant parent wouldn not pay for their son college education . unconvinced that all of the character be even necessary and i. e. represent janet and who be put to bed in the back of the car and quickly forget . the story line and which i actually think have potential and be not allow to come into it own for two reason represent 1 ) flat character for whom i have no sympathy or affinity and 2 ) the plot be overshadow by meaningless non sequitur scene and such a the seance or donut shop sequence with amy hill which be simply ridiculous and unnecessary . i commend park for his effort and a i be sure it take a lot of hard work to even produce the film and and i will even give him the benefit of the doubt this time around a a rookie director or screenwriter and but i sincerely hope that next time around he will go a little deeper . just because the film be one of the first of it kind about the korean american experience and doesn not mean it automatically good .
