As Tears Go By DVD

Advantages: Hilarious at times and the use of Chapters.
Disadvantages: Rather upsetting at times, DVD jumped a little

...'East Is East' is a great comedy but you can expect to shed the odd tear or two if you have a soft heart. The plot is very up and down and can be hilarious at certain times, yet rather upsetting at other times. The Asian father wants all his sons and daughters to follow his Muslim beliefs, unfortunately for him they're all growing up and are making their own decisions in life now. I found that the film can be very tearful, especially towards the end, but is a real good laugh otherwise.

Advantages: star-studded movie, easy to watch, good soundtrack
Disadvantages: bad script, overhyped, nothing special

However, after watching it and shedding a few tears, and after reflecting on it for about 3 minutes, it really isn't anything all that special. After all, the main thing that got the tears going was the heroic gestures and human emotions linked with the prospect of being blown up in space. Liv Tyler is gorgeous; she always was and always will be. However, her name and her pretty self was merely used to boost the movie's ratings. In other words, this movie would not have been so 'amazing' if it had not had several big names in its cast list plus the theme tune played by a mega band. Good movie, bad script.... Read review
