I cannot get over how enjoyable this movie was. Some terrific scenes. Is Michelle Yeoh not the hottest mother going?
The MaJong(sp) game scene was an all time great imho.

any thoughts?
Excellent date film.

Worked for us, and we’ve been married 22 years. Yes, to each other.
Nice film, for sure

I thought Awkwafina sucked and was inessential, but all around the movie was great
Hated it. Recorded it last week because of all hype

Script lifted directly from every Hallmark movie. Predictable and lame. Enjoyable cast and scenery.

the performance by Michele Yeoh was Oscar worthy

also the sets
It was good and very successful

The success must have turned Constance Wu into a crazy nut job.

When she found out her tv show just got renewed she went on a psychotic twitter rant.
Have not seen the movie but her real name is

Tan Sri Dato' Seri Michelle Yeoh Choo-Kheng

Imagine signing that 40x at a Mortgage closing...
I didn’t enjoy it at all.

Same formulaic rom com like every other but with an Asian cast. And that’s it. Nothing else to distinguish it.

It's a rom com and I usually hate those, but I enjoyed this a lot. I agree it's formulaic, but I found the characters more likeable than in other similar movies. On a related note, the food at that market in the beginning looked amazing
that's Newton Circus in the park off Ochard Road

every night all the food vendors are there. The food is fantastic, a combo of Indian, Malaysian and chinese. Have been to Singapore many times on Business, No crime lots of food and very hot ladies
Speaking of date films - on Netflix

Guernsey literary and potato peel pie society -

nice story and interesting time in the channel islands - occupied during WW2.

My Maternal Grandfather is from Jersey (another channel Island).
Never even heard of this

I guess I will have to watch it myself
great advertisement for Singaporean tourism

the MahJong scene was great, if you know how to play it.
even for those who don't you can see she had a winning hand but folded

so the mother could win. It gave the mom a whole different view.
Other than the end of Casablanca and Ben Hur i can't think of a more powerful scene and this was a comedy. really well done
I watched it with the old lady

we both enjoyed it immensely. And we're really picky about the acting, story line, etc. We hate about 80% of the movies we watch. Surprised us how much we loved this one.
great movie... while yes this might have had the hallmark

recycle vibe to it, it was significant to just be about a certain race not being black or white. i know that shouldnt mean much it really does make a refreshing change.


really good movie.
the setting, the wealth, the customs
