4 out of 5 stars Quirky Movie With Super Hottie Diana Peng!.......2006-03-28

Not sure what the other two reviewers were expecting, but I enjoyed this movie. It was a little quirky and some of the situations were a little exagerated, but hey, it has the super HOT Diana Peng. Now, I was a little irked that they teased us with her being topless a couple of times, but all we ever got at most, was a side shot from the back, so you don't get the full monty, etc., but still, she is exquisite and just delicious to watch. The other actress goes topless, so you are at least rewarded somewhat. All in all, I enjoyed it for what it was. Worth a look!

2 out of 5 stars An chance for something good....wasted.......2004-09-17

I bought the movie because I'm into offbeat love stories, romances, true life dramas, etc. This was a waste. The characters, though sometimes interesting, are almost totally unlikable. The older Chinese woman seems at first to be halfway decent,only to turn into an adulterous opportunist trying to get a greencard. The younger girl is just pathetic, and all the other characters are scum. As far a romance....who cares? There's no way you care enough about them to even matter! And if you bought it thinking there was going to be a nice lesbian love bloom between the two women...keep waiting. Nice idea...lousey effort.

1 out of 5 stars A total waste of time........2003-10-25
