I bought this movie because I wanted to know more on Gale Harold acting. After watching his performance in the last two seasons of QAF, I realized he was way more than a fantastically handsome face.
This is a good mix of romance, comedy and even a little bit of drama. Nice for a rainy afternoon with hot chocolate. Entertaining, but not fantastic. Gale is so cute in this movie, although it does not require much of acting from him. He sould be 36 years old when he shot this movie, I guess, but I could swear he looks less than 30 on the screen. Fay Ann Lee presents us a good acting and a fresh face. It is always nice to watch a movie with less Holliwood faces.
I recomend it with low expectations. it is just a normal movie on this genre.

The beginning of the movie puts the charactor in an awkward and embarrassing situation. So I enjoyed the second half of the movie the best, but overall enjoyable. I have watched it a couple of times.

A Fabulous Gift to Gale Harold fans
Feb 26 2010

I don't mean to minimize Fay Ann Lee's accomplishment in making this film. She wrote, directed and stars in it and she's great. She did a great job of addressing the stereotypes that Asian Americans face, and the plight of poor people, too. As this style of mistaken identity plot goes, this is a really nice treatment.
My main recommendation, though, is that it's a must see for Gale Harold fans. Gale isn't exactly a household word, but he's got an avid and loyal fan base who go to rather extreme lengths to see his movies, up to and including tracking down the producers and lobbying for distribution. Until now, Gale's movies tended to be very dark, laden with violent deaths, emotionally tense story lines and exceedingly unhappy endings. I'm sure they were great parts for an actor who takes his craft seriously, but for a fan that just wants to revel in the work of their favorite actor, they weren't exactly films you could share with your family, watch with your uninitiated friends or just enjoy over and over. This goes at the top of my list of Chick Flicks I'll watch dozens of times, and yes, that's a very good thing. It's such a relief to see Gale using his considerable comedic skills for a change!
There are also interesting appearances by Stephanie March, her husband Bobby Flay, Margaret Cho, Christine Baranski, B.D. Wong and Lewis Black, all of whom are perfectly cast for their particular roles.
Highly recommended for lovers of romantic comedies. It's an instant hit.

I had the pleasure of living in Chinatown for a summer and consider the best place in NYC. When I saw this movie, I remembered visiting the places you see in the movie. It brought back some wonderful memories for me. I also love Gale Harold. I have been a huge fan of his for a long time, and this movie just proves that he is leading man material. I will make sure I tell everyone about this gem!
