    As with most movies spun off of books‚ the Joy Luck Club was very different from the paperback. I had seen the movie beforehand‚ so I already knew this‚ and was ready to look for distinct differences. Many things were left out‚ some things were out of place‚ and some things were even changed.

The viewer also never learns how Ying-Ying St. Clair’s husband

    "The Joy Luck Club" isn ’t what most men would rush to see at the box office. It is‚ by general opinion‚ a chick flick‚ an epic tear jerker directed towards the sensitive side of people.
