I watched this movie last night. Actually, it was my second time to watch this and I still love it. It's really funny and yet so inspiring. Michelle Krusiec was a wonderful actress. I used to watch her on the Discovery Channel in the Travelers series. She was really funny and bubbly. Joan Chen is still a great actress. Still so talented and expressive. Lynn Chen was a nice surprise. A pretty face to go with excellent acting. This story reminded me somewhat of The Joy Luck Club, another favorite of mine. Here's the synopsis of the movie: (from Wikipedia)
Saving Face follows Wilhemina (Michelle Krusiec), a young Chinese-American surgeon as she deals with her unwed mother's (Joan Chen) pregnancy, the obligations of her dancer girlfriend (Lynn Chen). Wil struggles with allocating time between her mother, who is shunned by the Chinese-American community for being pregnant and unwed and thus has come to live with Wil, and her girlfriend, Vivian, whom she presents to her mother as only a friend. At the same time, Wil's mother must decide whether the demands of her father's reputations, or the demands of her own heart, are more important.
Again, a very surprising and fun movie. Really enjoyed watching this. =D
