Chu finds a way to tie all of the different types of storytelling together with a clever ending. I look forward to whatever he does as a follow-up, though next time, he should feel free to leave the kids at home.

Rated: 3/5

Really solid indie - I got to laugh and cry a bunch with this flick. It'd be a great "see it during the holidays with your parents" movie, if your parents aren't too uptight. I saw it at a film festival in LA (I think it won...which wouldn't be surprising).

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
