Saving Face - 2004

What It Is: An American romantic comedy about a Chinese-American girl who's attracted to another girl while avoiding her controlling mother's desire to marry her off.

Why I Watched It: Romantic comedies are surprisingly tolerable when they're about cute lesbians.

What I Thought: Although I enjoyed Saving Face quite a bit, I still didn't like it quite as much as Imagine Me & You. *I'll confess to a sizable fetish for hot girls with English accents.*

I enjoyed the performances a lot. The mother character was just as cool as the adorable lead, for entirely different reasons of course. I didn't know much about the plot and I was rewarded with some funny surprises and twists. Obviously, I won't deny you that same chance by going into too much detail here.

Highlights: All the actors were above par and even the most callous characters had qualities that made them lovable.

Who Should See It: Anyone looking for a good romantic comedy or a good lesbian film.

How Soon: It would make a good "date night" movie, other than that you can watch it whenever you want!

Imagine Me & You! Wooooo!

And I think even calling it a sizable fetish is an understatement. ;)

I think you might be right! :-)
