Wonderful story and the white hunk is awesome: I went to the store, picked up "Under One Roof" and noticed on the back cover that it received all sorts of awards. I was surprised about this because I did not recall reading many enthusiastic reviews on Amazon about this movie. Well, I was just too curious to let this go so I went a head and took the movie home thinking "hec, this movie cannot be a true disaster because it received many reputable awards". I raced to my bedroom, closed the door, dimmed the lights, took a deep breath, got really comfortable, turned on my portable DVD player, and quietly watched the movie. Well, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Yes, the acting and dialogues were quite stiff and most of the technical aspects of the film needed much rework. For some strange reasons, perhaps it was due in part to this amateurishness that gave the film some of its youthful, inexperienced charm. Anyway, I think the film does have a convincing story line - witty, touching, and sexy. Give the movie a try. You will be surprised.
VERY ENJOYABLE BUT.......: UNDER ONE ROOF IS A VERY ENJOYABLE FILM BUT ...... I BELIEVE THE DIRECTOR IS A BIAS RICE QUEEN, THE ONLY MALE FULL FRONTAL NUDIDITY HAPPENED TO BE ASIANS!!! WAS THIS FILM ONLY MARKETED TO RICE QUEENS EXCLUSIVELY??? ROBERT IS VERY CUTE & TOO BAD WE WON'T GET A CHANCE TO SEE THE FULL HIM & I'M ASIAN - I FEEL CHEATED!!!
The minutes passed like hours...: I think I must have been watching a different film from the one reviewed by some of the other reviewers. This film was so slow I started drifting off and thinking about work! The story line was utterly predictable and the acting was generally of a very poor standard - the most wooden I've seen in years. The woman who played the mother was surely acting for the first time. Just awful! Don't waste your money.
Find another movie...quickly...don't even think about this: The story line was bad. The acting was worse. The production is acknowledged by most as cheap. Enough said. I felt like I had been cheated out of my movie money!
Awesome Movie!: It's Sex and the City meets The Wedding Banquet for young San Franciscan Daniel Chang, living at home with his clueless, traditional mother. Desperate for a grandchild, she's eager to see him married and spends much of her time planning introductions to suitable Chinese girls for Daniel. But when she recruits a new lodger for the downstairs flat, Daniel finds himself falling for Robert, the hot Southern boy who's moved to the big city. Well, Robert's not a suitable Chinese girl - but is he gay? And does he feel the same way about Daniel? Daniel soon gets his chance to find out when the basement floods and his mother insists Daniel share his bedroom with Robert while the plumbers fix the mess downstairs...
