Quote:
"Although heart-warming at points, the film [Peggy Su!] is largely played as a farce, reinforced by the vibrant 1960s frocks, hairstyles, and colourful sets. Peggy Su (played by Pamela Oei) is the most rounded of the characters while her three suitors are recognizable comic types: her father's choice of suitor is gawky cousin Gilbert (Adrian Pang) with his black-rimmed glasses and well-greased hair; his antithesis is smooth-talking David (Glen Goei), the restaurateur who sneers at her for being 'too Chinese'; the most promising of the three is deliveryman Terry (Vince Pellegrino), but the only problem is, he is not Chinese."
