2/5

Don Willmott

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

Fr. Chris Carpenter

Too simplistic to be believable.

2/5

Pete Hammond

Overly melodramatic and soap operatic. Very familiar episodic look at a comtemporary Chinese/American family and the gaps that divide them.

Ernest Hardy
