Singaporeans represented in the trailer:

• Status is everything
• Close knit family
• Chinese
• There is no singlish spoken in the trailer
• Indian and Malay people are only opening the doors, cook and clean

The representation of love:

• ‘Real’ asians <-> Americans Asians 
• Who counts as Asian?
• American Asians are not Asian, not good enough for Asians

Who the audience is?

Hollywood style and type put in Asia?

Stereotypes!

Isn’t it just a Cinderella style love story wrapped in a bit different context?
