A Man Like Me

About This Movie

A Man Like Me is an interesting blend of comedy and romance, with a quirky narrative that intertwines the mundane and the heartfelt. The film captures the awkward charm of a postal worker who falls for a waitress, whose eventual return to China leaves him in a comedy of errors. There's some nice use of practical effects in the restaurant scenes that add a layer of authenticity. The pacing feels uneven at times, reflecting the protagonist’s emotional rollercoaster. The father-son dynamic is a standout, especially with the father's obsession with the Eurovision contest, which adds an odd sort of humor. Overall, it’s a film that captures the bittersweet nature of love and longing in a rather unique way.
