What You Need To Know:
Graced with satirical fantasy sequences that don’t quite work, this movie portrays unique situations that play rather disjointedly. The brother’s heart doesn’t really seem to be in his romance, for instance, even though he asks the woman to marry him. He later explains that he often feels taken aback by his girlfriend’s independence, an explanation that comes too late. CATFISH also contains some strong foul language. Also, although the movie celebrates close family ties, the son’s male roommate dates another man dressed as a woman, though the roommate denies he’s homosexual. This is played for laughs, however, which shows just how ridiculous the homosexual lifestyle has become

More Detail:
In CATFISH IN BLACK BEAN SAUCE, a minor independent feature, an African-American couple adopts a Vietnamese brother and sister. The sister, played by Lauren Tom, never really accepts the woman as her mother. Twenty years later, she’s still searching for her birth mother, whom she finally finds. Meanwhile, the brother, played by writer/director Chi Muoi Lo, has embraced his new culture and found a tentative interracial romance. When the birth mother arrives in America, she immediately undertakes to separate her son from the African-American culture in which he and his sister were raised.

Also, although the movie celebrates close family ties, the son’s male roommate dates another man dressed as a woman, though the roommate denies he’s homosexual. This is played for laughs, however, which shows just how ridiculous the homosexual lifestyle has become in this politically correct age.
