Quite possibly one of the funniest warm and fuzzy feeling movies I've seen in years. Perhaps I related to this better than most because I have had Chinese girlfriends in the past, but I loved this movie! This movie is rife with ethnic slurs but is very quaint about them. It certainly couldn't have been put out by a white producer in this day and age. In short, this is one great politically incorrect movie!

Cute little movie with a clean cut plot. Funny at times, good for all ages except juvenile, worth a watch.
