    "Maybe children might be a little young for this, but it is indeed a "family film" like no other. And the new "daughter-in-law" is hilarious (although you might think she goes too far in one important-to-the-plot scene). The funniest scene is the courthouse nuptials, and the banquet itself makes you wish you were there... It's an absolute delight, one of the best of the decade, definitely in the Top 50 of best comedies of all time, at least. -xavrush89http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107156/usercomments

    "Despite the ground-breaking story and the fact that I am watching it almost 12 years after it was made, I didn't feel that there was a sense of believability in the first half of the film. Characters were very 2D and lacked depth... Overall though, this is a watchable film, and you can easily see that Lee has developed his techniques quite a long way since his early films. The Wedding Banquet certainly demonstrates why people had faith in him and recognized his talent in the early days. One for a look back." - Lester Mak (leekandham)http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107156/usercomments?filter=hate
