Great Story, Great Performances, Great Fun
4 February 2015 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Fresh Off the Boat is a new, innovative fish-out-of-water comedy that features an Asian American family. It highlights some of the common issues of assimilation without exploiting or demeaning the Asian American experience. Eddie Huang's story, brought to life by the brilliant Nahnatchka Khan, is a refreshingly delightful addition to the spark of new diversity in Hollywood that hopefully will burn brighter and brighter throughout the entertainment industry. The story is fun, engaging and smart. The relationship are honest, multi-layered and full of heart. The performances are superb. I see many awards in the future, especially for Hudson Yang, Randall Park and Constance Wu.
