When you need a ride from the airport, you call Vanessa (Kelly Hu). When your boyfriend leaves, you call Vanessa. When you need someone to take over the family business, you call Vanessa - and she'll never, ever say no. At 34, she's still her large and boisterous family s go-to girl, with a threadbare excuse of a life of her own. Suddenly, she runs into an old friend (Ivan Shaw), the almost perfect guy who just might be perfect for her. But, as those sparks fly, her family starts to go up in flames. Her high-maintenance fashion designer sister (Christina Chang) is on the brink; her surf bum brother (Edison Chen) has gone AWOL; and her over-analyzing, over-intellectual mother (Tina Chen) has barred her father (Roger Rees) from their home, sending him into his own mid-life crisis. They all need Vanessa, all the time, to fix all the problems. Trapped in the eye of the storm, Vanessa has to find her way back to love. In the process, she discovers that the only person she really has to save is - herself!

Pleasant Romance Movie
I heard about this movie in one of Kelly Hu's interviews, and was pleasantly surprised with the movie. Although it's not your typical fast-paced romantic comedy, there was a natural pacing to the story that felt real. Character development was executed superbly, where each character, including the main leads had their flaws and imperfections. In not depicting the male lead as absolutely perfect, the characters felt genuine, dynamic, and human. Kelly Hu and Ivan Shaw have great chemistry on screen, and the family dysfunction around their characters only adds to the drama. I definitely had my share of laughs and crying. Overall, great movie!

Kelly Hu is amazingly beautiful, and the entire ensemble cast lend their talents ...
A film written and directed by a friend, so I have to give it the obligatory 5 stars in show of support =) That said, Kelly Hu is amazingly beautiful, and the entire ensemble cast lend their talents to a very artistic, soul-searching drama centered around complicated, mixed-cultural family and love relationships. It's definitely not your typical romance drama. And, in some ways it raises more questions than it answers. But, isn't that how life is sometimes?

At risk of sounding racist, this is probably more ...
At risk of sounding racist, this is probably more enjoyable if you are Asian (as I am), as the movie portrays a lot of the cultural experience that we have lived through, and can laugh at. Tina Chen, as the mother, is wickedly nasty, and from personal experience, very believable.
