Double Happiness (1994)
It touched a nerve.
Several parts of this movie really spoke to me. As a Thai-American in a similar situation to Jade's, I laughed many times and nearly cried several times at scenes in this movie because of how close it hit home for myself. I disagree with other user's comments that the film is too myopic. This movie obviously deals with very personal feelings, and I would only expect Mina Shum to create a film reflecting her point of view. To make it far-reaching and covering several other viewpoints would dilute the film's vision and make it seem less honest and direct than it does.
Blues Brothers 2000 (1998)
Disappointing.
Blues Brothers 2000 is one of the more disappointing movies I've seen in a while. I'm a huge fan of the first and this one just didn't match up. Most of the movie was unimaginative re-hashing of characters and scenes, and a lot of the movie was cartoonish and cheesy. The only redeeming factor was the music, especially the scene at the end.
