Well-done but I wasn't impressed
15 December 2023
A gay couple Wei-Tung(Winston Chao) and Simon (Mitchell Lichtenstein) live together in NYC. Wei-Tung has parents who live in China and don't know he's gay and want him to get married. Simon and Wei-Tung persuade an unmarried artist Wei-Wei (May Chin) to have a marriage of convenience so she can get her green card and shut up his parents. Naturally his parents travel to NY to attend the wedding. Things go barreling out of control.

It's well-done, moves quickly and Ang Lee directed it well. However some of the acting is terrible and I HATE the ending which just seems to go out of its way to please the straight and gay audiences. A lot of people like this film so I'm in a minority but I didn't like it in 1993 and I still don't like it in 2023.
