The film does feel like the same kind of humor as the television show BROAD CITY only abroad in the east. Instead of two roads, it’s four though there is a main contingent of two in the middle. 

It seems like it strives to be like the movie GIRL’S TRIP to a degree. It has that same type of energy but has way more set-ups for there to be madness. 

Just Like that film though everyone seems to get their moments and is on Equal footing as there is no real star and while in that film Tiffany Haddish became the standout. Here there isn’t one really as again they all have their moments and especially more on the shocking Side. As the film is raunchy. 

It’s Nice to see it break the wall if it is a female-driven comedy and an Asian American leading ladies. Who break the mood of the stereotypical roles they usually are portrayed or cast. Going at it with full gusto.

While it makes its points about culture and points out some issues. It also is more about entertainment. 

It’s A Nice follow-up for actress Stephanie Tsu coming off her recent Academy Award best-supporting actress Nomination with another memorable noteworthy role. Though Not for its dramatics 

It feels a bit like the first AMERICAN PIE for that summer shocking comedy for a specific audience that grows bigger than Its demographic. That seems to come from nowhere. Yet charms and excites the audience. Even when at times you can see where it is going.
