38For a strangely-titled, female-oriented drama about mothers and daughters bonding, try "The Joy Luck Club" and leave Ya-Ya as a phrase uttered by one-year olds who have yet to learn how to talk.

30It reduces a large cast to an unwieldy collection of simpletons and caricatures.

-
20This is potentially near tragic material, and playing it as an all-forgiving comedy is a waste of everyone's time.
