...what we mostly get here, unfortunately, is...akin to an Asian minstrel show. Full Review

Rating: 2/4 -- Unfortunately, the main character of this unfunny comedy is never endearing, he's just an irritant. So we're not all that interested in his personal and professional plights. Full Review

Rating: A- -- Bursts with creative energy and stupendous execution, continuously generating colossal laughs as it arranges a colorful bouquet of insecurities and absurdity. It's a divine motion picture. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- A cockeyed tale about a Japanese nebbish in suburban America, White on Rice will wring some laughs out of anyone but the most humor-impaired. Full Review

Product Description:

A divorced 40-year-old man-child falls for his brother-in-law's pretty niece in writer/director Dave Boyle's lighthearted follow-up to his 2006 feature debut, BIG DREAMS LITTLE TOKYO. On the heels of his divorce, Jimmy (Hiroshi Watanabe) moves in with his sister Aiko (Yuki Nae) and her family. He's determined to get back on his feet, and attempts to make the best out of the fact that he'll be sharing a room with his ten-year-old nephew, Bob (Justin Kwong), for the time being. Soon thereafter, Jimmy's brother-in-law, Tak (Mio Takada), announces that his niece Ramona (Lynn Chen) will also be coming to stay with the family for a while. Immediately smitten with the lovely Ramona, Jimmy becomes convinced that the two can start a happy new life together. Unfortunately for Jimmy, Ramona is currently involved with his best friend, Tim (James Kyson Lee), and Tak can't wait to have his developmentally arrested, dinosaur-obsessed brother-in-law out of his family's hair for good.
