it's my favorite movie of the year. maybe of the last 5 years. i think better luck tomorrow scores high with me not only b/c of the movie itself (which i did like), but also b/c of the all-asian cast, which was a big deal for the asian community here in atlanta, and elsewhere, i imagine. also, i had ultra low expectations for this movie going into it, but then was pleasantly surprised when i saw it. low expectations have a way of making average movies good and good movies great.
