Fresh, charming, fun, warm if daft & undemanding comedy

In fresh, charming comedy "Quiz Lady" nerdy Awkwafina's life centres around her dog and her fave tv quiz show (with host Will Ferrell & smarmy champ Jason Schwartzman) - so when her dog's kidnapped by mobster Jon Park, her sister Sandra Oh & crotchety neighbour Holland Taylor 'convince' her to go on the show to raise his ransom. It's pretty daft & silly, but Jen D'Angelo infuses ample sisterly warmth into her second screenplay, and director Jessica Yu elicits fine comic performances from her impressive cast (including a Paul Reubens cameo in his final movie - RIP). While not the most demanding or high-brow film out there, it's heart-lifting and fun. Good enough.

Hysterically Funny

I laughed at this movie so much, Awkwafina is perfect in every film she's in. She plays the complete opposite of her famous Peik Lin Goh "Asian Ellen" character from Crazy Rich Asians and still absolutely kills it as a shy, obsessively organized office worker who is probably "on the spectrum." Sandra Oh shows up as her insane but loveable older sister. I was dying when Oh, as a middle aged woman, put on puffy pink sleeves and platform sneakers like a K-Pop fan half her age ..in fact she doubles down HARD on this K-Pop vibe variously throughout the film despite playing a Chinese woman in her 40s. The film is constantly messing with stereotypes this way, using them preemptively to mess with the viewer as part of the joke (Sandra Oh is actually a Canadian-American woman of Korean descent).

Just watch it if you're looking for something super fun to laugh at.

This was a gem.

I knew Sandra Oh was in this and as a massive Sandra Oh fan I knew I would dig it. I really like Aqwafina as well. This movie was funny and sweet and really thoughtful. It's cool to see these original creations by these artists representing their culture and not just having the stereotypical characters typically associated with whatever's been put out for the last 20 years.

The sister relationship was relatable. Sometimes one is deemed the caretaker and one gets the fun filled life. It was heartwarming to see them come together and recognize each others sacrifices in their family as with most family relations it's not so black and white. I really enjoyed this flick! It was fun and deep and still lighthearted.
