Movie Review: I'm only in it for Mr. Tang......
Summary: 4 Stars

I liked this movie, because it seemed like there was subtle and wistful moral to the story. A lesson in how to get over yourself, how to face fear of failure, and if those fears come true, how to pick yourself up and move forward.

Ross, the lead in the movie, is extroverted, always talking, always busy, and he's taken the fate of his family and the world on his shoulders, whether they want him to, or like or not. However his family doesn't need saving, and they continue onward in their lives, as he rants and raves in frustration around them, his intentions are good, his grasp of the big picture - not so much.

The first time you watch the movie, his family does seem as frustrating, and nonsensical. Frustrating events occur, the situation seems bleak. And then the movie begans to explain.

It's nice to Rufus Sewell in a role where he isn't playing the bad guy (Knights Tale, The Illusionist, The Holiday, for instance)he's an interesting actor to watch, partially because his head seems so much proportionally larger then everyone elses, and partially because it's easy to imagine that role strikes close to his real life personality.

My favorite part of this movie, alluded to in the title of this review, is the musical stylings of the Keone Young, the actor playing "Mr. Tang".

To sum up, I found this to be a sweet, introspective movie, that made me look into my own life a little deeper. And for that, I recommend it.

Movie Review: Worth your time & money!
Summary: 4 Stars

This movie is so such a riot! It's full of INTELLIGENT comedy - no Dumb & Dumber jokes in this one! No potty humor or crude jokes - thank goodness! A mature take on one man's struggle to "find himself." Wonderfully written, the musical score is PERFECTION and guitarists will appreciate a particularly moving scene with an acoustic played classical style (although the editing is poor during the scene and makes it look like Rufus Sewell is playing the notes two measures behind lol). I thought the editing was fresh and interesting. Nigel Hawthorne was just brilliant, as was Sewell. I don't think I've ever seen Rufus Sewell play so interesting a role. Seemed like he *knew* this character inside and out. Great supporting cast (including Minnie Driver) and direction! Definitely a flick worth checking out!

Movie Review: What you've been looking for...
Summary: 4 Stars

I applaud Minnie Driver and her sister for producing such a thought provoking film. I wouldn't call it a Comedy, but then, what the British call comedy and what Americans call comedy are two different things. It IS a lovely story with three dimensional characters that you can relate to, and the beautiful cinematography wraps around you and draws you in still further to see how, or if, these individuals will work through their conflicts.
