Rudie Obias Battle Royale With Cheese The Disappearance of Mrs. Wu tackles these warring identities, while its character assimilates into their lives in Los Angeles—albeit in a clumsy and mishandled way. Jul 5, 2023 Full Review Alton Williams Battle Royale With Cheese The Disappearance of Mrs. Wu tackles these warring identities, while its character assimilates into their lives in Los Angeles—albeit in a clumsy and mishandled way. Apr 7, 2023 Full Review Therese Lacson Nerdophiles There's a diamond in the rough in The Disappearance of Mrs Wu, but it's hard to unearth it after sifting past the clichéd lines, tough acting, and jam-packed plot. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 8, 2021 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix The comedy/drama The Disappearance of Mrs. Wu has its heart in the right place, but the movie's horrible acting from most of the cast members puts the movie in the wrong place: a cringeworthy, mishandled mush.
