Rating:  - I didn't get two scoops of satisfied...
Let me say first that I have never seen an episode of `Grey's Anatomy', but I am a fan of Oh's in the event that everything I've seen her in she's been funny and charming and undeniably talented. Even here, in this lackluster coming-of-age story she is entertaining and certainly attention stealing, but sadly, even Oh's undeniable charm cannot save this movie from the depths of mediocrity.
`Double Happiness' is a sweet if not entirely predictable story about a young Chinese woman named ... Read More
Rating: - x Oh
This film made me a fan of Sandra Oh.
Unlike many of the other reviewers here, I wasn't reminded of "Joy Luck Club," but of another Canadian indie, 1999's "New Waterford Girl," about another beguiling young woman trying to escape the constraints of formal homelife through the arts.
All the actors are pretty good, and most everyone is portrayed with an endearing balance of humor and pathos, though there are several stilted monologues that disrupt the mood, and writer/director ... Read More
Rating:  - Sandra Oh rox!
I've been waiting a while to be able to get this on DVD, and I'm glad I was finally able too. Had this on my DVR for a while, but lost it when I had to return it to the cable company. This is a really good movie, and Ms. Oh, as usual, shines. I'd pretty much recommend any of her movies, however there are a lot of movies where she has a really small part, which is disappointing, but generally they're still worth a look. The bigger her part, the better the movie, as a rule, but I might be biased...

Rating: - Sandra Oh rocks in this small gem of a film. . .
"Double Happiness" is not an earthshattering, groundbreaking film--but damn, it's good. Especially the wonderful Sandra Oh (Christine on "Grey's Anatomy"), who is a delight. She doesn't play a hardnosed, sharp-tongued character here--like she does very well on TV--instead she delivers a warm, appealing performance as a young woman caught between her family's strict values and her longing to break free and enjoy life. Not that she's miserable living at home with Mom and Dad and Sis--they have fun together ... Read More
Rating: - Worth seeing!
I found this movie to be quite entertaining. I have read some of the other comments on this website and I have to agree with some of the other people. Comparing this movie to Joy Luck Club is like comparing apples and oranges. These movies are not the same, and should be judged on their individual merits. I really enjoyed both movies.
While this movie is not a big Hollywood blockbuster, it has a good storyline, and some really good actors. It doesn't matter whether the family is Asian, American, ... Read More
