Red Doors (2005)

[Oldfart]

Plot Summary

"Red Doors tells the story of the Wongs, a bizarrely dysfunctional Chinese-American family living in the New York suburbs. Ed Wong (Tzi Ma) has just retired and plots to escape his mundane life. However, the tumultuous, madcap lives of his three rebellious daughters change his plans. The eldest daughter, Samantha (Jacqueline Kim), is an ambitious businesswoman in Manhattan who suddenly gets cold feet about her upcoming marriage when she runs into an old high school flame (Rossif Sutherland). Julie (Elaine Kao), the shy middle sister, finds her life as a studious medical student turned upside down when she falls for a movie starlet (Mia Riverton) visiting the hospital. Katie (Kathy Shao-Lin Lee), the youngest sister, is a disaffected high school senior who engages in a continually escalating and dangerous prank war with her longtime neighbor and nemesis, Simon (Sebastian Stan). Ultimately, Ed's disappearance compels each daughter to examine her own understanding of the role and connection she has to the family. At the same time, the Wongs learn to live their own lives outside the invisible fences of their home."

This looks to me like it could be quite a good movie not full on comedy but certainly very funny in places. I hope it gets more than the limited release it seems to be getting so far. See imdb link for festival awards.
