This movie is SO funny. If you've ever been particularly taken with the idea of novelty items -- from the Slinky to the Pet Rock -- and how these are created and marketed, then MADE IN CHINA may be the film for you. It follows a self-styled "novelty inventor" who travels to Shanghai to bring his "humorous domestic hygiene product" to the Asian masses. The production was shot on the fly, in China, without official permission from the Chinese government, which alone should've stirred up more headlines and interest for this film upon it's release. But the real story here is how funny this movie is. It hits you with jokes when you lest expect them, and all of them are character and story oriented jokes. Not just jokes for jokes sake. I hope more people discover this movie. It's become on of my all time favorites
Plot summary
How far would you go to get your invention made? Self-styled 'Novelty Inventor' Johnson has a great idea. He's sitting on the next big novelty craze, but no one in his home town will believe him. Even his mom. Perhaps it's because he won't tell anyone exactly what it is... Armed with his hard-earned savings and a manufacturing contact found on 'craigslist', Johnson decides he's going to the place where they make everything. Where the Stuff comes from. China. But when his craigslist contact flakes on him, Johnson is alone in Shanghai. He's forced to think fast before his once-in-a-lifetime opportunity evaporates. How exactly does someone get something 'Made In China'? It's the story of a young man's quest to make his dream come true.—DS

Heartfelt and hilarious. One of the most underrated movies on the last decade
Horrible
Rarely does a film make me so angry that I want to punch out the main character and the writers. This film is not in the least bit funny. If anything it makes you very inpatient to find out what this novelty invention is, and when you do find out you want your time and money back.
Stupid, pretentious and a total waste of time.
IMDb requires 10 lines for submission of a review, I can't say anything more about this piece of complete trash. If you value your time stay away from this garbage or it might end up sending you into a fit of rage.
I'm still laughing
Best one joke movie ever. PS. You can buy one them on line.
