The Joy Luck Club was about as good as could have been expected from the attempt to make a rather full-bodied book into a single movie. It just can't be done in a way that does justice to the book.
On the other hand, the casting and acting were superb, what was left of the plot was delicately handled (for Oliver Stone) and the overall result is a movie which is definitely worth seeing.
I rated it a 7 (I've never given a 10). If I were still dating, I would probably have rated it higher as your date will love it, and you will enjoy it much more than many other "date" movies.
