Waiting in Beijing, more like waiting for plot, character development, action and even more so - waiting for someone to answer that question 'how the hell this turkey ever got made in the first place'. Reminds me of that film entrepreneure back in the day who charged, yes charged! people to be in his turkeys. The film crew were legit but the 'actors' were all folks who paid to be in the film.
