About Catfish in Black Bean Sauce

Dwayne and his sister are Vietnamese siblings who were adopted by an African-American couple. Now in their mid-20s, they both have chosen different paths, but when they learn that their biological mother is coming to Los Angeles, they eagerly await the reunion. This drama is both funny and moving in an emotionally rewarding journey through the tapestry of one group of immigrants searching for what it means to call themselves a family.

rating: 5 QuoteONE OF THE BEST MOVIES IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!Quote
"Catfish in Black Bean Sauce" is one of the funniest, no I take that back, IS THE FUNNIEST movie I have ever seen. The pure eccentricties of the movie is what makes it great, not to mention the outstanding performances by the actors/actresses. When I tell people about the movie, everyone looks at me as if I made it up. That is until they have the opportunity to see this AWESOME movie for themselves. I first saw it a couple of years back and have been in love with it ever since. It is a prime example of how two completely different cultures can come together and co-exist in "harmony." I would sooooooooo recommend this movie to any and everyone looking to see a movie that is truly worth while. April 19, 2008

This DVD arrived in excellent condition and well within the specified time. I would not hesitate to order another DVD thru Amazon. Catfish is a wonderful story about family ties, at times very touching and humorous, from a refreshingly different angle of Asian and African American interracial interactions. I can relate and love it! April 15, 2008

rating: 5 QuoteFunny, funny, funny and will give you something to think about concerning relationshipsQuote
This dvd is one of my all time favorites. Why, because it touches in on relationships of all kinds, and it is so funny. George Wallace is in it too! September 30, 2007

I thought that this was a great movie. I love Sanaa Latham. Her love interest is an Asian male that is adopted by a black family. He and his sister are sent from Vietnam during the war. They aren't sure if their mother is a live ir dead. The sister decdes to look for her and she finds her and brings her to the states. This causes problems for the black mother that can believe that her adopted daughter is so ungrateful. Great story. June 20, 2007
