Emma only knows one way how to add spice to her life... by squirting it from a bottle of hot sauce. The rest of her life is cushy but bland: scrambled egg whites, decaffeinated coffee and her husband, Ray. She's had enough and runs away from home. Her estranged son, Elliot, finds her lurking outside his restaurant with suitcase in hand. They try to start over again as mother and son in this odd-couple living situation, but she's old-fashioned, and he's gay. Between them are years of awkward moments and unspoken tensions. Feeling lonely, Emma accidentally befriends the lady next door who's so eccentric that Emma's way over her head. Meanwhile, a passionate encounter with a man in a bar turns Elliot's fear of commitment on its head. With dumplings, dessert, whiskey, and even Ecstasy in front of them, will they give in to their indulgences? And can mother and son reconcile while struggling to discover their own appetites for life?

| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesThe story really doesn't gain from being expanded to feature length. |
| User ReviewGregory MA very sweet,soft and brave movie about the relationship of a son with his mother. Sharon Omi shined as the lead in the mother role! The whole consept of finally having Asian people in the lead felt so fresh and brought to the story the air it needed. I quite enjoyed it. |
| User ReviewLeo KAt least slightly better than those others from the same genre directed by the Asian Americans group. |
