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.

While for the most part Boogie may seem like a tonally confused, mess of a film, I find it to be more or less saved by its incredible amount of passion, great characters, and the few good actors that portray them. Especially Taylour Paige whose performance is as good if not better than her's in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. Can't wait for Zola.

Asian Hip Hop Hoops. Could it have been better? Sure but watch it as an underground indie thang and then you can appreciate it better. It feels like none of these cats are trained actors and you know what? Why not. It has a story that is worth telling. Learn more about other cultures everyone. (PS. too bad none of these guys are hoopers but... ;)

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.

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
