This art house sleeper hit stars Sandra Oh as an aspiring actress struggling to find a challenging role ("something I have to gain weight for") and yearning to break free of her Chinese family's strict traditions which threaten her new romance with a Caucasian man. A thoroughly charming comedy that has been described as a cross between The Joy Luck Club and Annie Hall. This is what the failed TV series All-American Girl could have been. (D. Liebenson)[DVD Review—May 15, 2007—Image, 87 min., PG-13, $9.99—Making its second appearance on DVD, 1995's Double Happiness sports a fine transfer and Dolby Digital 2.0 surround sound but no DVD extras. Bottom line: even with no extras, this fine film is highly recommended.]
