## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loved it!
*by A***Z on December 9, 2010*

This was a great movie! I stumbled across it by accident and it's so different from anything I've seen. I was recently reading a book about the way in which Asian men are portrayed in mainstream Hollywood movies; you know, the typical stereotypes and one-dimensional-ality of their characters. Sadly, these stereotypes affect the general public that views such movies and these myths about Asian men being asexual or martial artists are taken as reality by many. Before seeing this movie, I couldn't think of a single movie where the Asian man played in a leading romantic role. The only other movie I could think of where an Asian man was paired with a Black woman in a sort of romantic way was "Romeo Must Die," (Aaliyah and Jet Li) but that's it. We definitely need more movies that show diverse interracial relationships. The director chose great actors for the roles. It was romantic and the comedy fell in just the right places. James Kysun Lee did a great job (I think he's so fine btw!) and his chemistry with Emayatzy was wonderful! I read the director wants to make this into a feature film, which I think would be soooo awesome. Hopefully, those in Hollywood won't shy away from this film. We need more diverse characters instead of movies that continue to uphold the status quo and stereotypes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wanted more of a story!
*by Y***Y on October 26, 2010*

Was so anxious to see this movie, but the ending was flat I felt the writer and director had more to say but ran out of money? Or I hope that was it, really good young actors and this will become more of a story with the World becoming more globally aware of different cultures.Also it brought up a lot of the reality which is family continuity and family background is very important to the Asian community. Also most of these relationships might be very short and painful if you are expecting long commitment or marriage. Think hard about the consequences.

### ⭐⭐⭐ I like the idea of Japanese fusing with hip hop culture
*by A***R on February 17, 2016*

I like the idea of Japanese fusing with hip hop culture. I wish more Asian guys would get together with black women. I think they are really cute together. I also like how they had Japanese language in it and how Japanese people view black girls. The movie had authentic Japanese culture and people. The main guy, Akira was kinda cute too. But the movie was very low quality. I wish it was longer too. You could tell this movie was made by some low level director. Although I love the idea, I hate the way it was made.
