Reviews
The American Dream but not really...
A decent chinese movie about family connections of two siblings from different mothers that takes place in the US.The movie portrayed the multicultural identity of the States and the majority of the actors did a decent job, despite the fact that the sctipt was mainly in English, which wasn't their native language.
The character of the female lead was very well written and realistic, something that was also true for her little brother that acted exactly like kids do (annoying me at times).
The story had some emotional moments and touching elements and it did try to be realistic, however many times it failed, with things happening out of nowhere and people acting in a quite improbable way. Even the main reason why the little kid went to the US felt a bit far-fetched. Lastly, at times, it was like the movie was glamorizing -at least to a certain extent- the life in the States.
All in all, it is a decent film that is very easy to watch and it does have its moments.
