I'M THE ONE THAT I WANT
(Lionel Coleman/2000/ 96 min/DVD)
The
most prominent Asian American star of stand-up, Margaret Cho gets real and
recounts her ill-fated sitcom and the repercussions it has had on her life,
as well as many other issues that plague both Asian Americans and non-Asians
alike.
Issues of racial stereotypes and weight caused her considerable grief until her sitcom, "All American Girl," was canceled.
