A gay Taiwanese-American man balances his traditional parents’ wishes for a heteronormative life with his own relationship and a marriage of convenience to a tenant, culminating in a grand sham wedding with a raucous outcome in Ang Lee’s touching cross-cultural comedy of manners. As Wei-Tung’s parents arrive in New York to watch him get married – as his boyfriend looks on — worlds and lives collide in a hilarious story of queerness, assimilation, and changing yourself to live up to parental expectations.
