The Joy Luck Club description The 1993 film adaptation of Amy Tan's bestselling novel is both a delight and a moving experience, an anthology of stories wrapped in one Chinese-American woman's journey to understand her roots. Wayne Wang (Eat a Bowl of Tea) directs a large, outstanding cast spread over eight different tales of the lives of Chinese women, most of them set in the past. The script by Tan and Ronald Bass (Rain Man) is a delicate balance of emotions that swell but don't gush, and Wang brings impressive texture and a personal feel to Tan's descriptions of daily life in the Chinese-American community. This sprawling, good-looking movie makes for a cathartic tearjerker one can feel good about. --Tom Keogh |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | A Story that understands women |
| Joy Luck Club is a story about women: mothers and daughters, wives and lovers, mother and daughter in-lawas.
The characters are rich and full of flaws as well as strengths. More, the storyline is truly interesting and engrossing. The relationship between each other and each friend rings true and ironic as only real life can be. I loved when Waverly told her mother how unfair it was that she had so much power over her. Mothers of teenagers and adults forget that no matter how old our children get, not only will they always remain our "babies"...we will always be their first love and their first shelter against the world. |
