The story follows a young boy whose dad is Chinese and mother is American. The dad wants him to learn Chinese and thinks it will help connect him with his past and help him in the future. The boy resists until the Dad finds a way to motivate him.
Bribery always works with kids and, in this case, definitely makes an impact. This is a well produced short film with a simple message and is relevant not only to Chinese Americans but any mixed cultural family. The camerawork is good, so is the audio and the acting is spot on. Nothing is too dramatically unique here, it's just a good short film with a simple message.
The film's message is about the importance for bi-cultural children to be taught the native language and culture of both sides of their family.
I give All You've Got 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 12, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
