Boogie

This film tells a story that is best understood under a lens of an understanding of the Chinese culture. It is an engaging story.

People just look for issues where there are few. People love to point out blame where there is little. Hate is a virus, spreads like water, in the world where hate is like a need. The need to have compassion and understanding is no longer expected, but violence and hate is the need for those that can't understand we are humans and not wild animals. Basketball is a sport or was, now it's full of rigorous people that believe they own everything. Making causing hate and having their fans hope they make their basketballs careers be historic when they leave the game (AKA LA lakers player). This movie is going to be in the history of anti social overtures of what some people (personal bias) of the day would make you believe they made a differeance.. Only time will tell.

Exactly what you expect in a coming of age film but with the style and substance of asian culture and director Eddie Huang's perspective. Good performances as well from the entire cast. Only issue I had was the ending felt anticlimactic and a very "Hollywood" ending

A basketball player faces the challenges of family, love and his pursuit of NBA dreams.

The plot development isn't effective and with some questionable acting, unnecessary scenes that doesn't add to the plot nor theme. The film simply doesn't deliver a convincing story. The love story is mediocre and the issue/ antagonist isn't developed properly

The basketball scenes are decent, but there isn't much being shown.

If you enjoy basketball films, this isn't one I would recommend you add to your list. The faults outweigh the positive.

With an abrupt ending and mediocre execution of the plot, Boogie doesn't live up to any hype it was given. Decent basketball footage and some mixture of songs but the poor acting serves vital when rating this film. Issa no for me dawg.

The main character was flat, boring, came across as angry, pretentious, obnoxious, and you didn't emphasize with him at all. Very little character development.

His parents? What was going on? There was the manager stepping in, touching the mom like there might be an affair, but not really sure. The parents were always angry. The lighting was always dark, I get they might be setting a tone, but it was too much... almost like they couldn't realize thered be an audience watching. Don't waste your time. Wait for it on Netflix.
