Description:
Jim is a young, closefisted Chinese American living in LA who desperately finds himself with a stack of disposable cameras, invitations, champagne bottles, and a ten-thousand dollar engagement ring bill. The only thing missing is a bride. In financial debt and miserable from having his fiancé leave two weeks prior to Valentine's day, Jim asks his best friend, a Japanese hitman, to kill him. With less than four days to live, Jim treks to the mountains to find his fate. Along the way, he encounters a pizza delivery boy with lucky charms, searches for the funeral spot of his choice and meets a girl.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Funny Funny Funny
Rare Asian American Comedy. Very funny, great script writting and love the way it captures the stereotypes. A little exaggerated perhaps but that's what makes this film funny.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Worth seeing
This is a film that's worth seeing. It breaks the stereotype of Asian men being portrayed as nerds and "foreigners." There are many humorous moments and while many scenes are hit or miss, it comes across as an entertaining film with a terrific performance by James Kyson Lee of "Heroes."
