This quintessential indie success story works because it never reaches too far beyond its grasp. Classic coming-of-age story of an awkward teen — in this case a tubby Chinese-American boy — who lives in a shabby motel with his battle-axe Mom, bratty little sis and the train wreck guest who acts as a big brother/ surrogate Dad. A compactly realized little feature with appropriately cute extras.
