This show goes to darker places than last year's show. Definitely worth seeing. It's fascinating having insiders' views of asian-american culture. (Although, one of my favorite routines(about a lost Chinese clan in medieval Scotland) had little to do (I presume!) with the asian-american experience, but was really well done and a lot of fun.)

Of the three OPM shows I've seen, this was the least inspired and least original. Most of the skits weren't funny, just shocking or strange (esp the skit about parents of the newborn baby). The acting was great, but I really didn't get the point of the skit about the Clan of McChung. The only one I found funny was "Chinatown Justice". The cast seemed smaller than previous years, so maybe that had something to do with the selection of skits included in the show. I felt some of the skits were really forced and there was a lot of re-hashed material.

Uneven but very earnest. This sort of reminded me of the types of shows people staged back in college. Lots of "Asian" content, but that seemed forced at times. If you miss this, it's not a tragedy.

Great energy, some terrific Scottish accents, some really funny characters. A bit uneven at times, and some of the characters are a little forced, but on the whole it's wellworth seeing and will even make you think a bit...
