Plot summary

Thirteen-year-old Ernest Chin lives and works at a sleazy hourly-rate motel on a strip of desolate suburban bi-way. Misunderstood by his family and blindly careening into puberty, Ernest befriends Sam Kim, a self-destructive yet charismatic Korean man who has checked in. Sam teaches the fatherless boy all the rites of manhood.

On odd duck movie for certain. Basically, an Asian kid is growing up at a hotel where his family owns/works the hotel. It's just a nice, slow story about day-to-day life? The kid never does much but some of it is funny and some weird. I suppose it does escalate toward something but even that is fairly small. I didn't like it really as I watched it, but trying to think back several weeks later, I can at least appreciate that it was different.

There's something special hidden in this odd-ball dramaedy but the film doesn't work hard enough at capitalizing on it and leaves you with a heartfelt but meandering story.

Interesting coming of age tale about a chubby Chinese-American boy. His single tiger mother and grandpa own a motel, he does the housekeeping. He finds a sort of father figure in Kang. It varies between funny and tragic.
