White and Asian men...

To those who think that the movie is racist/sexist against Asian men:

The men aren't ALL bad!
- The girl whose husband keeps counting money - he's not a bad husband, just a bit stupid.
- And that same girl, doesn't she end up with another Chinese man who seems pretty nice?
- And the girl whose white husband cheated on her - he was WHITE, yet he CHEATED.

And if the Chinese women marry white men - Surprise, Surprise, THEY'RE IN AMERICA. You can't expect them to stick to their own groups.

Finally, as an Asian MALE myself, I must say that the movie is highly accurate in many respects, including the way it portrays a number of male characters, hence why I love it so much.

a guy who loved 'the joy luck club'? an asian male apologist for auntie tan? nice try sweetheart.

Don't be such a dick. Go troll elsewhere, plz.

There are good and bad men of all ethnicities, in all countries.

Although Lena's first husband was Caucasian in the book. I'm not sure why they changed it to an Asian guy.
