Like all great epic tales, the breathtakingly zany "Everything Everywhere All at Once," starring Michelle Yeoh as a harried everywoman called upon to save the multiverse, is about a simple concept at its core: love.
Not that Evelyn Wang (Yeoh) has time for it. The struggling laundromat she runs with her sweetly goofy husband Waymond (Ke Huy Quan of "Indiana Jones" and "Goonies" fame) is being audited, her elderly father Gong Gong (screen legend James Hong) has come to live with them and she has no idea how to talk to her grown daughter Joy ("The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel's" Stephanie Hsu), ill-equipped to bridge the divide between her own immigrant journey and Joy's lens on life as a queer second-generation American young woman.
To get to the heart of the thrillingly dense sci-fi action comedy from directing duo Daniels (aka Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, known for the poignant 2016 flatulence dramedy "Swiss Army Man"), Evelyn must master interdimensional "verse-jumping" to tap into universes where alternate versions of herself are master chefs, international movie stars and even have hot dogs for fingers — all so she can face off against Joy's powerful and nihilistic alter ego, "Jobu Topaki."
