Fakin' Da Funk

It's a nice little film with a twist on culture clash. Julian Lee, an Asian raised by African-Americans, happens to be more black than his African American girlfriend from the suburbs. May, a Chinese exchange student, learns that African Americans are not what they appear to be in the movies. Interesting fare.

I expected to either suffer or coast through this movie.

I was wrong.

This is the best film I've seen period. It's the first Asian-Black film and that says a lot.

The entire cast shines, including Ms. Pam Grier, Margaret Cho, and Tatiana Ali This is an engaging story told in a classic cinematic style. The realism is in the nuances - the tilt of a character's head after a dramatic moment or the look in their eyes while they sing. I literally discovered myself involved in this movie during the course of viewing it.

This movie has inspired me to be a better person. In life you don't know who you will run across and sometimes our prejudice will cause us to prejudge a person wrongly. I have learned to give a person the benefit of the doubt because of this movie. I also learned that tough love can build a stronger person. Now I want to know where to find the movie soundtrack.

One thing I noticed in reading the comments of this movie is that nobody recognized the screenplay by Tim Chey. Without their screenplay the movie does not get made.

As I sit here in a Film class I am taking I understood that I should have an open mind... But a racial comedy? What was he thinking, Making us watch a comedy about an Asian kid? OK, I sat there biasly waiting for the DVD to play the So Called top ten movies of all time, and to my utter amazement and total surprise the movie did not suck. In fact I don't recall ever blinking during the show, it was Funny, Romantic- but not corny, seemed real life and race dealings - for the most part, and over all quite inspiring to me and my fellow classmates here at The University Of Kansas, KU, United States of America. I must suggest that all those who have ever seen a movie before must buy this movie and add it to their collection of all-time favorites. I guarantee that any person between the ages of 9months and 120 years will love this show and share the same enthusiasm that I have.

This movie was waaaaaay ahead of it's time. Look at Rush Hour and the other films that came after it.

I am very upset that this movie did not get the Oscar. This movie is a phenomenal nice comedy with a very intriguing subject. Most people try to find bug in this movie but i believe that they should just sit back and enjoy the great epic racial line. Let's be serious do you believe a Chinese baby could be adopted? For this reason I believe this is an excellent comedy with a racial harmony theme. I also appreciate that the acting is very good and the script is very nicely written. I urge people to stop taking the "basketball" too serious! This movie is making fun of the people who take this sort of things too seriously.

I had never heard of this movie until I saw it this afternoon. I was channel surfing and managed to luck up on it when it was starting. I watched five minutes and was hooked until the end of the closing credits. I thought the movie was really good, and it explored a racial tension line that I had never thought to explore before. It was an interesting and tastefully done. I liked it
