n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

This is a blatant rip off of The Goldbergs. From the overbearing mom, Dad who used to sell furniture for his wife's Family. Oh yeah, and if you don't get the point in the first 5 minutes of "White People are just awful" comments, you will be told every episode. This show is racially offense and garbage and needs to be canceled.

Bring me so many joys and laughs while watching this comedy shows. I can really sympathize with these Huang family by many of their Chinese traditions. Like all the culture shocks, identities losing, and the difficulties to fit in the American society. There are many old traditions are losing since the technology is improving every minute, from hand to machine, from numerous to minimize, changing happens everywhere, something people follow for a long time might just not fit the modern day anymore. Just like what Jessica said on a screen, she likes to make the easy pasta so much instead of the complex Chinese meal. It is so true, nowadays is even easier to order delivered food or buy the pre-cooked food rather than to cook at home. Traditions are being forgotten, and immigrant family makes it even harder to maintain. Although United States's amendments provide us the freedoms and forbade the racism. However, the covert racism and invisible privileges always exist. It is impossible to jump to the unreachable height, but we can little by little to build a ladder to reach higher from the ground. Just like the Huang family, keep working hard, and they will be paid back.I got so many fun from the shows. The character, Jessica Huang is my idol, I love tiger mom.

Imagine a show about black slaves in the old South around the time of the Civil War in America. Now imagine the theme of the show and the interludes and transitions of the show being done in traditional Chinese and Japanese music and instruments. About the same amount of WTF disconnect.That's right... there's a sweating, poor, beaten, hard working black family in the old American south, and the transitions are done on strings, woodblocks, and flutes... played softly and slowly. Yeah... makes a lot of sense. But, when you have a white girl, a white guy, and one Chinese guy producing a show about a Chinese family... and they are in their forties... post Vietnam American born children... of course the music you CHOOSE for the show and its theme is angry rapper black "music"... suitable for the race riots of the 1960's and hate and gutter lyrics of the 90's. Unfit for American television. Greenlighted on ABC by a black woman with an agenda. I am surprised that the show is allowed to have an entire Chinese cast. After all... nothing else is authentic. The plots could be used in any American sitcom of the last forty years. Nothing new here. Unwatchable junk.

This is a cringe worthy show that only the regressive left could find funny because there is a constant barrage of racist insults towards whites and others. Now, to be honest, I don't care. All racial groups need ribbing. But I can't help but sit and watch and consider if the roles were reversed the left's collective heads would be exploding. It's interesting because it also perpetuates a lot of Asian stereotypes that, for decades now, we've been told are either not true or are simply racist to point out. Unlike something like All in the Family, where racism was treated as something to be looked down upon, it seems to be portrayed as something that is not only OK, but something that the Chinese embrace. What's funny is that Constance Wu has come down on others for being "racist" but apparently cannot see her own hypocrisy. Now, if not for the left's constant barrage over the course of my entire life of "everything is racist" this would probably be an enjoyable show. But, alas, the left has ruined the ability for people to laugh at one another or themselves (something which should be OK). Maybe, with that in mind, this show is a step in the right direction... but I doubt it.
