8/10
Entertaining and Hilarious
14 January 2001
Warning: Spoilers
*MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS* Part exploratory of human relations, part outlandish comedy. The premise is about an interracial, gay couple living in New York City. All is happy and harmonious in their abode, until mom's incessant match making just about drives her Taiwan-born son off the box. He reluctantly goes along with a scheme to marry an aspiring female artist from the People's Republic, who needs a green card, like now, Mao. Mom and Dad catch the first 747 out of Taipei, and the caper goes from there.

Brimming with tongue-in-cheek, spontaneous hilarity and well balanced with subdued moments of sentiment, this WEDDING BANQUET (HSI YEN) is not to be jilted.
