Reviews:

Ang lee’s The Wedding Banquet is a great addition to gay film
The Wedding Banquet is a truly inspiring and cross-culturally challenging film. It touches on many issues/themes which have never been combined before in one movie: Taiwanese Americans vs. Chinese Americans, Asian American families, old school parents vs. younger generation(s), multi-racial couples, gay couples, gay Asian Americans, immigrants, pride, family values and love.

And… while I found the ending of this movie somewhat unrealistic (I’ll let other viewers decide) I also found the film challenging and optimistic (which is where my realism takes over).

You should watch this movie if you are… Asian… gay… Asian AND gay… or simply want to learn something about another culture. You might be surprised!

Props to Ang Lee for creating a unique opportunity to look into two very distinct and different cultures at the same time: Asian American and gays in the early 90s.

Keeping it Real
You could describe this movie as a romantic comedy. And I do agree with one of the previous reviewers, the romantic part isn’t sappy and the comedic part isn’t slapstick either. It has the right balance to it! And as an absurd plot progresses (you have to watch this), and by absurd I mean more like abstruse or something like that, the (main) characters remain down to earth. The actors are well casted and carry the plot, while playing it “straight” (not everyone is playing “straight”, as you will see if you watch the picture, but that’s something you’ll realise the first minutes into the film).

I haven’t watched the film for quite some time now, but if you like a real (offbeat) comedy, than this is for you! :o) It’s a great movie and a testament how great a director Ang Lee is!
