It’s a sappy and sentimental film, but if you’re a 53 year old Vietnamese refugee watching it with your 79 year old mom, it hits pretty close to home. I don’t know if this is a spoiler (but the movie is so predictable that I don’t think it matters), but it feels like a Hallmark movie in a Vietnamese setting. My mom wept through much of it, so it does a good job of targeting a certain demographic. Be forewarned, although I’m used to reading subtitles, I struggled a little with the ones in this film. Either they go by a little too fast or they’re translated in a clumsy way, but I spent an unusual amount of effort reading them (or maybe I was distracted with trying to listen to the Vietnamese language being spoken).
