4.0 out of 5 stars Under-Rated Comedy that deserves to be seen....., October 21, 2008

Ok, the DVD hasn't been released yet. However, I have seen this film twice so I can provide a decent review of the film. I can revise at a later time about the DVD and any extras. Some minor spoilers about the film.

American Fusion is a Asian-American Independent comedy directed by first time director Frank Lin. The film debuted at the San Francisco Asian American Film Festival around 2005. It hit the theaters in 2007 and had an extended run in Los Angeles and Seattle. However, due to lack of marketing, the film fizzled in other markets.

The film centers around longtime HK actress Sylvia Chang. Chang portrays a middle-aged divorced woman who feels her life is over before she runs into a handsome doctor (Esai Morales). In between, there is some family hijinx and jokes galore. Some jokes are admittedly Chinese/Chinese-American-centric, and it may go over some people's heads.

However, as a Chinese-American, I immensely enjoyed the film. I took two female friends (one Latin American, one Chinese American) and they also enjoyed the film.

I felt this film didn't get the exposure it deserved, but it gets a second life on DVD and hopefully, it will do well.

4.0 out of 5 stars American Fusion, February 13, 2009

This review is from: American Fusion (DVD)

Entertaining and humorous, this pokes fun at the cultural quirks of some ethnic groups. It's probably funnier if one is familiar with and have spent time around these particular peoples. It has a motley cast of characters played by a very talented cast. It also made me wonder why we don't see more of Esai Morales.

I really enjoy watching this movie, and I believe there are characters in it that everyone can relate to. It is very funny, and has an amazing cast. Definitely worth watching!
