Found the movie hilarious and it never crossed my mind that the protagonist being a middle aged immigrant was part of what made it funny, btw.
Yes, I agree here, and I wonder how OP ended up with this impression. Her being a middle-aged immigrant is important to the family story the movie is telling because her relationships with her dad, husband, and daughter, and who each of them is, are all affected by this fact and by the protagonist’s experiences and choices. Those relationships both drive the plot and form the emotional core of the movie.
I think if you just view this movie thru the lens of one genre, it’s going to seem lacking because, what genre is this movie? It’s everything, everywhere, all at once.
