It's been some time since release and I hope everyone involved is still as proud now as they were at release. I hope my review (and this comment) are not awkward. I'm just always a sucker for these sorts of reflections on family and heritage.
Perhaps this is an annoying question to ask about Chinese-American media, but was Emily or anyone else on the staff inspired by Amy Tan's Joy Luck Club? If not, I would highly recommend reading it. I've heard mixed reviews on the movie adaptation though.
