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.

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.

I had such high hopes for this film. I seriously don't think basketball scholarships are the #1 issue for Asian families. Would have been more believable if the parents were against Boogie's dream to play ball, but instead, Boogie was just a good player...not the best with family struggles.

The camera crew knew what they were doing. It's well-shot, I'll give it that much. The writing it bad, the direction is bad. I'm assuming Eddie Huang either has money, or knows people with money, because that's the only way slop like this gets financed. The lead is sullen, almost everyone is unappealing, and there's zero tension. Even the clichéd final game lacks any sort of suspense. It's clear that the only reason this got a theatrical release is the pandemic has made theaters desperate for product and better films still want to make some money, so they're waiting. This is filler. Wait for it to show on some streaming service, then skip it.
