DVD Reviews of Saving Face

DVD Review: A must-have
Summary: 5 Stars

You will enjoy this movie whether you're straight, gay, bi, or whatever. It's full of laughs yet pulls in some serious moments as well...a great balance. The lesbian story line is primary, but does not dominate the movie as other issues are addressed. I am very picky about movies, especially those of the lesbian genre...thankfully this movie made it to the top of my shelf with "Loving Annabelle," "DEBS," "Imagine Me and You," and the other hits.

DVD Review: Whoot! For Saving Face!
Summary: 5 Stars

i pretty much love this movie. i literally watch every night like a crazy obsessed person lol.

DVD Review: Faboulous!
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie was just spectacluar. It is so realistic, how everyone acted in the movie(such as what they say and how they displayed there emotions), the events that took place, all based off something that could or has happened to someone. I really like how the setting was, living in an asian community and being asian, the evnts that take place and how some people act are pretty much dead on. The story itself is wonderful, how the main charcater is scared at first but finally comes around to herself. I definitely recommend this movie to anyone who likes a humorous movie with drama mixed in. Also recommend it to those people who are too scared to take a chance/try to be in the relationship with the person you really want to be with. :)

DVD Review: ....a waste of time, & of money

DVD Review: MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE
Summary: 5 Stars

This is an amazing movie. It is now my favorite movie of all time. I encourage everyone to buy or rent it from Blockbuster.

Description of Saving Face

When 48-year-old widow Hwei-Lan Gao (Joan Chen) informs her less-than understanding father she's pregnant, he banishes her from Flushing until she remarries or proves Immaculate Conception. With nowhere else to go, Hwei-Lan moves in with her grown daughter, Wil (Michelle Krusiec), a Manhattan doctor who doesn't want a roommate, especially since she's met Viv (Lynn Chen), her sexy young lover. So Wil does what any dutiful child with an expectant, unmarried mother on her hands would do: she proceeds to set Hwei-Lan up with every eligible bachelor in town.

Saving Face starts like you might expect a Chinese-American lesbian romantic comedy to start: Young surgeon Wilhelmina (Michelle Krusiec, in her first starring role) has kept her sexual orientation secret from the conservative Chinese community of Flushing, NY--but when her mother (Joan Chen, The Last Emperor) becomes pregnant and is kicked out by her own parents, Wil suddenly has to juggle her mother's secrets with her own...which include her sparky new romance with Vivian (Lynn Chen), a ballet dancer and the daughter of Wil's boss. This bundle of intrigue and lust could motivate a wacky farce, but writer/director Alice Wu takes things a step further, delving into the characters' psyches and the complex social rules of their world while still crafting a strong plot and plenty of sly humor. Wu captures excellent performances from her entire cast, particularly Joan Chen, who gives perhaps her most multifaceted performance. A rich, rewarding, and delightful movie. --Bret Fetzer
