This looks to be a film that could make me laugh my butt off, perhaps even throw me out of my seat. Although its debut was yesterday, it is only showing in theaters in California and soon throughout the west coast. Apparently, they promoted the film over the summer and made their way to New York City at the time. Fortunately, there's another sneak preview in Woodstock, NY October 2 - 4. It might be difficult for me to trek to Woodstock, so I can only hope it will reach theaters here in the New York City metropolitan area soon.

Take a look at the trailer below. You'll agree with me that it's a must-see.

WHITE ON RICE-THEATRICAL TRAILER from Dave Boyle on Vimeo.

"Jimmy (Hiroshi Watanabe, LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA) loves dinosaurs and sleeps on the top bunk. Unfortunately, Jimmy is 40 and shares that bunk with Bob (Justin Kwong), his 10-year-old nephew. Freshly divorced, Jimmy lives with his sister Aiko (Japanese Academy Award winner Nae) and her family while boldly searching for a new wife. His brother in-law, Tak (Mio Takada, "Late Night with Conan O'Brien") thinks he’s a disaster. And although Jimmy may lack social grace, he is convinced the best years of his life are just beginning. His plan seems like it’s all falling into place when Tak’s beautiful niece Ramona (Lynn Chen, SAVING FACE) moves in. But once Jimmy sets his sights on stealing her from his best friend Tim (James Kyson Lee, “Heroes”), he sees his intentions go hilariously awry." - Source: whiteonricethemovie.com/about.html
