Full review

'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. I found the film suited someone who just wanted to have a night in with a mate laughing the night away. That's what I did! If you are down in the dumps this film may also help, but you must be prepared to cry if you're a
tearful person.

Overall the DVD film was brilliant-mainly because of the storyline and plot, but I also thought that the DVD itself was brilliant. As you have on most DVD's, you have chapters. The chapters on East is East were brill.
There were 17 all together so I could stop the film and go get something to eat and then start again at the next chapter. There were also other things you could do on the DVD and not on a video-you could watch the making of the film and many other things as well. You could watch this when ever you wanted or you didn't have to watch it at all.

The graphics were not as good as I had hoped for, sometimes the CD would jump a little but the sound was brilliant.The DVD packaging was also very good, it was really just like all other DVD packaging. Overall I would rate the DVD itself not as good as other DVD's I have used before but very good within itself.
