Movie Reviews of Catfish in Black Bean Sauce

Movie Review: pleasant surprise!
Summary: 5 Stars

i was forced into watching this movie, which is usually not necessary for an asian-american movie. but since hollywood is still doing the asian woman-white man thing (think "Real World" San Diego, with the token asian woman), i thought this movie might not be worth the effort, and i was getting tired of the white guy diggin the asian girl thing.

to my surprise, it was written, directed, and produced by Wago!!! (from vanishing son, another favorite of mine because it actually has an asian-american man and a white woman in a more involved relationship than being just platonic.) the story is well-written and the timing of the comedic moments are precisely delivered. it's hard to believe this was a low-budget flick, especially with the excellent cast, good character development, and that damn funny music they play when something is about to get even funnier.

to my even greater surprise, he had a relationship with a black woman! i guess chi muoi lo writing this was the only way an asian-man would get anywhere close to first base on the big screen. and he honestly opened himself up to the stereotypes and insecurities his character might feel, even choosing the foxy, but-taller-than him, sanaa lathan as his girlfriend. it's hard not to like this movie, and it's harder to not watch it again.

this reminds me a little bit of that movie with dante basco and pam grier called "Faking The Funk", but manages to be more well-executed in it's more mature portrayal of stereotypes, and in being a more enjoyable story by far. watch this movie without expectations and it will deliver tenfold. the funniest thing i saw was how crystal-sparkly clean the windows and windshields were during the car sequences--i've never seen windows like that on cars from LA
