Another one from the indie/first time writer director batch, but this time it’s done for the cause of a real charity (Operation Smile), which probably means it’s going to be his only film. Based on his own experiences (parallel to the story’s father), we see one family in the States, and another one in Shanghai. We basically get to know what to charity is, and how it effects the life of the two families (mostly the daughters). While this ultra drama tries hard to be a tear-jerker, maybe a little bit too hard, it’s still a nice sweet story. Even if you don’t read into the charity part (which doesn’t really obstruct the story telling), it’s still an enjoyable uplifting movie.7+.
