Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Alan Jones

The clash between eastern and western cultures is adeptly wrung for marvellously rich comedy and pathos in Ang Lee's refreshing look at the marriage-go-round that occurs when gay Winston Chao decides to wed for convenience. Unfortunately, his thrilled parents decide to hop over from Taiwan for the ceremony and that's when the hilarious complications really start in the absorbing efforts to hide his real sexuality, nonconformist lifestyle and boyfriend. Sharply observed and never once striking a false note, this sweet-and-sour rib-tickler is a real treat.
