Before there was "Crazy Rich Asians" ...

There isn't much here that's unpredictable, but that doesn't make it less fun.It doesn't spoil anything to tell you that Grace Tang, a young and successful Chinese-American woman is soon misidentified, leading to deeper and deeper complications in her life.This movie isn't a 10 and it isn't a 3. Unlike Grace, it neither more nor less than it pretends to be, but like Grace it is good at what it is.Just watch and enjoy this little uplifting film for its feel-good romance. .

Am Asian Maid In Manhattan

I cannot understand the love for Falling For Grace. Why? It is a rip-off of Maid In Manhattan. The ending showing pictures of the characters and what happened to them is proof of this. So was the mistaken identity/Cinderella concept with the hard working woman ending up with a guy who is above her social class. I admit to not liking Maid In Manhattan even a little bit ( I prefer crime, action and western films), but I suppose neither film is targeted towards me. Between the two of them I prefer Falling For Grace. Why? The filming in Chinatown. I lived not far from there in 2006, so I know the area quite well, and the streets and even the stores are authentic. I am giving the movie 5/10 stars. All for the accuracy of the settling

More like Maid in Manhattan

Just came out of the screening in San Francisco today. Good audience reaction. Being an SAF, I'm all about supporting Asian American films. Yes, this is a clichéd romantic comedy. But the director and the actors do get the Asian family dynamics dead on. I was impressed by the actors they were able to get for this film e.g. Christine Baranski.There is a slightly clever subplot to the film but I don't want to give it away. The business/legal issues portrayed in the film could have only been thought of by Fay's business school friends.I liked Margaret Cho as the female best friend/sidekick. I think she could continue to play that role well in many other future films (Asian and non-Asian). If she doesn't mind being typecast as such.OK, that's it for my very first film review!
