Leave your thoughts about Eat a Bowl of Tea.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzPleasant but unexciting ethnic comedy/romance set in NYC's Chinatown in 1949. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThough not as witty as Chan Is Missing and not as touching as Dim Sum, Wayne Wang's Eat Bowl of Tea relates a little known story of the Chinese-American community, putting on screen characters seldom seen in mainstream American movies. |
| User ReviewRene TA charming and funny movie about Chinese-American life during the 1940s - 1950s era. Top notch performances by the cast. |
| User ReviewJacky LIn general I wouldn't have called this a comedy. A simple story (and essentially an American one, despite the Chinese theme) with a rough middle and a happy end. |
| User ReviewAnn CRussel Wong gave me goosebumps while watching this movie |
| User ReviewDoug Lseen this movie the other night on tv it wasn't that bad |
| User ReviewHelen SPretty good and has some great themes, but the story lagged, and I found myself straying at many points. Also, a little too predictable. |
| User ReviewChevelle HIt was okay. Couldn't really relate to the wife, though. |
| User ReviewGregory WActing was mediocre at best. But it does tell a story of what the early Chinese-American immigrants had to go through. |
