Rating: - As addictive as mahjong itself.
I love this documentary. I play it whenever I need a laugh. It is short -- the cinematography is terrible, but the editing is brilliant. The participants are hilarious and their stories are universally touching. This is one for the Smithsonian.

It is great as I am in it and know the director personally! I let my first copy to someone who kept it so I needed another copy to save.
