I start watching this film without any idea about what it is and without seeing any reviews. I just knew it won some awards.i thought that in the first 20 minutes the director had in mind to portray how first/second generation of Chinese Americans are struggling between native traditions and American way of life, grasping with daughter's homosexuality, trying to deal with issues in their relationship. And the performance of the actors was good. Then, they asked a 19 old art student to replace the director and he/she decided that the best way to move forward with this film is to make a film taramosalata with a hundred different ingredients, all mixed up very quickly in a fancy mixer and serve it in fancy plates. The result is an incoherent, distasteful, not funny end product that the only people that may enjoy it are those who don't want to be considered "not cool".
