REVIEWAn erotic romance about an adorable, closeted Chinese-American guy who falls in love with his mother's new tenant. Daniel (Wong) is a gay Chinese-American twenty-something who lives with his mother and grandmother in San Francisco. He is out to his friends, but certainly not to his mother, who is always trying to set him up with women. He keeps his life compartmentalized until a handsome gay man – Robert (Marks) moves in downstairs. They flirt with each other, and Robert comes onto Daniel – only to be rebuffed. Inevitably, they end up in the sack, and a tenuous relationship is formed. Their happiness is hampered by Daniel's wariness of a connection so close to home, with his meddling mom always around.
Daniel's flamboyant buddy Tony (Quedado) advises him to follow his feelings for once, but for a Chinese boy brought up in a traditional family, being gay and proud is a huge step. There are several highly erotic sex scenes with plenty of nudity (and even a stray woody or two) in a film that surprises with its sexual frankness. Todd Wilson's previous film, Rice & Potatoes, was a documentary about gay Asian/Caucasian relationships and this feature film follows his exploration, albeit from a fictional standpoint.
Immediate comparisons may arise to Ang Lee's The Wedding Banquet, but Wilson's film is less a comedy and more a romance... and certainly far more erotic. While shot on video and with a small budget, the seams seldom show. With excellent performances by the leads, plenty of eye candy and a compelling story, Under One Roof is a crowd-pleasing, sweetly romantic winner.
