There were plenty of opportunities for originality here, but other than toying with a layer of Asian exoticism, writer Donald Martin doesn't stray far from convention

Reviews for Dim Sum Funeral
1 - 5 (sorted by fresh rating; UK critics are listed first)
Director Anna Chi’s Chinese-American family drama, from a screenplay by Donald Martin, is ambitious in scope and banal in execution.
06/11/09
Too simplistic to be believable.
06/15/09
So jaw-droppingly misguided in its blend of mawkish sentiment and comic relief that it almost elicits one's grudging admiration.
06/11/09
Top CriticOverly melodramatic and soap operatic. Very familiar episodic look at a comtemporary Chinese/American family and the gaps that divide them.
