Go Back to China
@ Gene Siskel Film Center of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago
164 N State St, Chicago, IL 60601
Opening Friday, April 5th, from 6PM - 10PM
The value of a hard-earned buck is the cheeky message of this smartly satirical comedy that has a pampered trust-fund princess summoned to labor in the family factory when her fed-up dad pulls the plug on her extravagance. Coerced into joining divorced toy-mogul dad Teddy (veteran Hong Kong actor Ng) and his new family in China, Sasha (Akana of MISS 2059) contends with her competitive half-sister Carol (Lynn Chen), dad’s nubile mistress, and the indignity of working for a living making squishy stuffed animals with seasonal themes. Director Ting (ALREADY TOMORROW IN HONG KONG) blends fashion and fun, and plays with pop culture stereotypes while Sasha gets a new lease on life when it turns out that her design school degree is a sellable asset after all. DCP digital. (BS)
