So
Beauty - The Story
From the sly villain to the noble sidekick; from the wise
sage to the overachieving student, Asian males have long
been confined to secondary roles in Hollywood. Alongside
their Caucasian counterparts, they would aid in battle,
work to solve the mystery, help to save the day, and often
times stand by only to watch the other guys get the girls…until
now.
So Beauty, a comedy
that follows four Asian friends in their separate quests
for romance, opens the window into the mind of Asian men
and their outlook on dating.
Kevin (RANDY NAKAGAWA), James (JAMIE TSAO),
Ming (JARRETT CHIN), and Sherman (ARTHUR LEUNG) are doing
the usual - playing poker on Friday night. After a couple
of beers, they start talking about their dating experiences
and realize society has stuck them at the bottom of the
dating hierarchy where even Asian women place them a cool
second. As they delve deeper into each others' experiences,
they begin to realize a different approach is necessary.
Kevin decides it's time to try something new.
They hatch a plan that will change their outlook on not
only dating, but life as well.
Can the guys succeed in this new adventure?
Or will they fail dismally because they cannot overcome
the stereotypes of being an Asian man?
