Usually, if you’re looking hard enough, you can come across a good movie. Occasionally, you’ll come across a great movie. And rarely you’ll come across a movie like The Joy Luck Club, the kind of movie that has the ability to completely engage its viewers. Because, no matter who you are, one way or another you’ll be able to recognize yourself in at least one of the many memorable characters of The Joy Luck Club.
