Two down on their luck entertainers ponder the age old question "Why am I doing this?"

Behind the strong chemistry of its co-leads and Huang's insightful dialogue, this is one film worth checking out.

Rated: 3.0/4.0

L.A. Weekly

Scenes drag a tad too long and subplots go nowhere, but buried beneath the fat is a funny (if derivative) film about modern Asian identities.

Convoluted for no good reason, derivative, and over-long with subplots that go nowhere, somehow it remains moderately interesting despite itself.
