Storyline

Goofs
At one point, someone says that "Chinese New Year is coming soon" (the date of Chinese New Year varies, but it is always in January or February), but later Jerry Khoo receives a text message and says that "terrorists flew a plane into the tallest building in the US" (September 11, 2001). Since Chinese New Year occurs at the end of the movie, perhaps the filmmakers added the second line as a memorial to 9/11 but forgot that it was the wrong time of year in the movie.

Crazy credits
At the begining of the show, you will see Chinese words telling you to turn off your mobile phones and to applaud for the movie. At the end of the show, 3 of the cast will ask you to applaud for the movie

Loved this - has everything in it for a family

I watched this on a SQ plane from Singapore to Hong Kong. It delivered everything I was looking for - a touching comedy drama that is real and paced so well there's not one dull moment. It explores different areas of life which not only affects Singaporeans but also locals in Asia. Its a good depiction of a child's perspective and how they react when their parents scold, nag or beat them. I think the cast acted really well especially the 3 children the movie focuses on. I like the many practical issues the movie also brings up / the competition between locals and expatriates, the haves and the have not, how social issues can be misinterpreted or mishandled. There are many funny moments, many sad moving moments and I'm so glad the ending is good. Highly recommend to watch.
