Let's face it, not my sort of film... But the participants are appealing, if a little clichéd, and there's just enough complexity in their relationships to keep one going towards the end. You're not going to learn much about Chinese culture here, apart from their rather quaint notion that anyone who's pregnant should be married, and not middle aged. Bless! Also, being part of a lesbian couple can be frought with as many uncertainties as a straight pair has. Of course, all gets sorted out at the final family gathering, where in one fell swoop, a little dance and some alcohol can sort out every problem whether it be major or minor. Not at all realistic, but we all like to go to bed with the warm fuzzies, don't we?
