The mother is a villain in this story, absolutely overbearing and doesn't let her teenager be a teen. She thinks her little girl is perfect in everyway and blames everyone around her daughter for corrupting her when the poor girl is only being a normal teen girl, but at the same time takes it as a personal attack on herself i.e "How could she do this to her own mother?" regarding Mei's choice about her own body near the end. You'd think the mom would know how it is to have such a tiger mom seeing as her own mother was so strict and disapproving. I was absolutely furious when the mother said "you are so hard on yourself" during the reconciling in the end, like no?? Its YOU that's hard on her. (TMI) This movie brought up a lot of unresolved overbearing abusive mother issues for me.
That being said, I feel this movie could've been a lot better than it was.
That being said, not the worst movie in the world, but not the best either. The embarrassment and cringe that was the mom for 99% of the movie ruined it for me :U.
