Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

blinky13 I went into this knowing it wasn't a real documentary, but other than that, didn't know what to expect. More than 2/3 of the way through, it was still surprising me - there are many twists and turns, definitely not a hackneyed approach to the story. It does a great job of sending up the submissive Asian Geisha girl stereotype, and thoroughly blasts men who buy into it, and their horrific expectations. I recognized Eugenia Yuan from The Eye 2 right away, as I had re-watched it recently, and seeing her get to really act was delightful. I suspected that Lichi's English wasn't as bad as it seemed in the earlier scenes, and the "I want a baby" scene was pretty incredible. I hope to see her in more English language movies soon. Andrew Gurland's willingness to portray himself as such a scum in a movie that a fair number of people won't realize is fiction is impressive. I look forward to his upcoming projects as well.

anjushka There is one thing I really don't understand. If this is a documentary, how come all the actors, are really ACTORS. In a documentary somebody is expecting real life and real things, not something that is played from the beginning to the end. I think this documentary or whatever it is, is awful. It could have been a really good touching movie, or a real documentary with real time persons and characters. I was like, hating each moment of this movie, thinking that all those girls are going somewhere they don't understand a thing, just to live a better life. But if a better life is being with old disgusting perverts, or young and frustrated maniacs,I don't know what to say.

bkilby I came upon this film by accident, surfing the channels late at night. I thought it was a documentary, and was horrified by all the action. The characters were totally believable. The issues in this film are very worth talking about -- the exploitation of women from other countries by men who are really "losers" in just about every way imaginable -- as well as the exploitation of those men by mail order brides looking for rich husbands. It was very well done, and looked very amateur, on purpose. My only problem was with the father character, who seemed wholly unbelievable. The girl is an excellent actress, with a full range of emotion -- the filmmaker is not very cute, and husband number one is really horrible, and I'm sure this was on purpose.I loved it. Highly recommend.

Vic_max I have to admit that this movie was well done, but the net effect of how it made me feel was simply 'bad'. I can see the intended black humor, clever and innovative script, and good performances throughout the movie. However, it's simply depressing to watch.One of the most interesting aspects of this movie are the ideas that went into it. These included most of the down aspects - everything from older men and barely 'old-enough' girls, servitude, abuse, exploitation, etc.It's clever, but depressing to watch. I'd say pass on this one unless you want to feel bad.
