CGiii Comment

What a drab and monotonous film this is.

Nothing happens for the first six minutes...then, it's the same-old, same-old Chinese mothers thing...one on the phone, the other at dinner with her gay son and pretend girlfriend.

Less interesting than paint drying.


Watch...

The(ir) Blurb...
