      (at around 1 min) The main character Hieu is using a Sony Vaio notebook, which always runs on Windows. But in the following shots of the notebook screen, Hieu is clearly using a version of Mac OS, which only runs on Apple computers, but not on a Sony Vaio. This is obvious by the brand names like "iSight" or the OS design.

    Asian-American Film Seeks Audience
    As the first person to actually review this movie, I am surprised that there are no others before me. This is a pretty good, commercial, movie, with universal appeal and sensibility. Although, it's nothing ground- breaking, it's pretty entertaining and worth watching. To think that IMDb actually links a "free" viewing of the movie via HULU is amazing.

    The Story is good, Characters are likable, but I am surprised that the two, main lead, male, actors, Huy Khanh (Hieu), and Binh Minh (Khang) seem a bit old for college students, but they did a solid job acting. However, I was totally, surprised with Ngoc Diep's performance as Jennifer. I usually see the Ditzy-Asian-American Girl performance, and think they give the worst job acting because they all do the same forgettable act - the, "I don't know anything about my language/ culture, and you should really get a laugh". Either Diep is a really good actor, or she really is that helplessly, ignorant about her culture. Fortunately, she really does seem to show vulnerability and get sympathy for her character, and is funny, too, so she must be a good actor.

    I guess the Director, Victor Vu did a pretty good job getting the comedy performances out of the cast without them over-acting. The performances were also good because they were able to get sympathy without looking unnatural. A movie like this seems like so many things could go wrong, but over-all was done well.

    What is a real shame is that even commercial movies like these are not finding a market audience here in the US, and the fact that it was made at all is pretty amazing. Even worse is all the good performances from the actors are not being seen by enough people.
