If we can’t get Hollywood to make these films, what’s stopping the Asian Community from making them? Our only problem is that we need to work together to do it. We all agree that we would see these types of films, but would we as a whole support them financially?

That family is a bunch of jerks and racists; that’s why I didn’t see the movie. Yes, you could put an ethnic person in the role. Why not a hottie like Roger? Eye candy versus Ben Stiller. Hmmmmm… uh YEAH. It would sell more tickets.

Even better, her boyfriend’s last name is “Poon-Tang” so her name will be “Focker-Poon-Tang”.

This is actually a good idea for a movie.

Think about this.

Fade into a dinner scene with the folks. The family and the boyfriend are engaged in the obligatory nervous chatter and banter with the daughter’s boyfriend while the father is sitting in silence having flashbacks of being tortured by vietcong and breaking out into sweats. The mother asks, “So, what’s your line of work?” He replies, “Oh, I’m a headhunter for a large firm.” In the father’s flashbacks, his vietcong captor turns into the boyfriend.

Fade into an argument about marriage between the daughter and her parents. Daughter says that she wants to amalgamate her name with that of her boyfriend after marriage. Her Chinese boyfriend has the last name “Poon” so her name will be “Focker-Poon”. They will be known as Mr and Ms Focker-Poon.

Hilarity ensues.

Thanks Jean. If, indeed, the Vietnamese would have me, I would most honorably and humbly represent the southeast asian nation.

I may be Vietnamese but I’d be honored if Roger played Phuc…he’d do justice to the breed.

“What’s wrong with you, Phuc? Why don’t you like cats?”

“Are you a pothead, Phuc?”

“Jesus, Phuc! It’s just a game.”
