Reviews for Dim Sum Funeral
1 - 5 (sorted by fresh rating)
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
Overly melodramatic and soap operatic. Very familiar episodic look at a comtemporary Chinese/American family and the gaps that divide them.
