I like Fresh Off the Boat. I like Eddie Huang on Vice. I did not like this movie. It started off ok, but soon got cheesy and downright terrible. The best scene was when the dad arrived home and caught his wife discussing their son's future with the agent. Now why a wife would invite an agent home like that without anyone there is beyond me. But, at least it was tense. The dynamic between the main character and Black chick was ok. Surprised that he's tuff throughout the movie, then when it came to sex he was insecure lmao I guess it's character development. There was zero tension between the main guy and Pop Smoke. It was just too forced and there was no development for that. I guess it just set up for the cliched basketball game ending where all problems are solved by winning the game. THAT entire sequence was filmed and edited very badly. I actually laughed out loud when, after the coach yelled at the main character for causing problems at their school game, he suddenly showed up and coached at the tournament game. What?? Poo Smoke was pretty much there to look and sound evil, and get extreme closeups of him grilling the camera or something. Hey, I would've hit a fat paycheck to do that too. Eddie Huang you are the man for Fresh Off the Boat and your Bice specials but this could've been way better.
