The pacing feels pretty relaxed, allowing the characters' quirks and the cultural clashes to unfold organically. Leo Fang's journey, after feeling sidelined due to his heritage, leads to this awkward yet humorous family trip to China.

It's distinctive in how it tackles themes of belonging and cultural dislocation, with a charm that feels very much of its time.
