Falling for Grace is a romantic comedy movie directed by Asian-American Fay Ann Lee, who also co-wrote and played the main actress in the movie Grace Tang. This kind of cliche is very entertaining to watch with a couple of friends sitting on the sofa with soda, chips, and crackers. The happy ending might not be a surprise but you would be happy to see.
Grace Tang is a successful woman, at least I think so. She has a very stable and well-paid job in the most exciting city in the world ---- New York. She was born in a Chinese family of four included her mom, dad and younger brother. Her parents don't speak any English and younger brother doesn't have a job. He is just like hundreds of young adults over in China who don't contribute to family a penny instead of living and being affording by parents on everything at this age. It is pathetic, indeed. Back to our heroine, she is supposed to be satisfied with what she's got. On the contraory, she still yearns for social acceptance among Upper East Side elite. When she finally gets a chance to be invited in a high-end party, she is accidentally mistaken for an heiress from Hong Kong, also has the same name with hers. She missed the timing to correct this mistake and it just seems like one lie has been told, you gotta make a series of other lies to make up the very first one. By this mistake, she got to introduced to a handsome white guy Andrew. Now cliche starts from here. No surprise Grace will fall in love with his "color" instead of choosing an Asian looking guy. It proved!
Under reliable datas, Asian man is always less desirable by different races of women, whatever she is while, black, or etc. It actual happens in reality. But why an Asian American director just copycated the same cliche like the others? She would have done something more and better than that. All in all, at least, it is still entertaining.
