This is Taikas film and humour catered to his audience. The boobs joke wasn't funny and was not our humour at all. In fact extremely rude in Pasifika culture. Our humour was missing. It could've had more Pasifika input behind the scenes, it would have been a more accurate depiction and uplifted our people instead of this joke. The storyline was the tired palagi saves the day. The white savior is getting really old. But this very obviously was made for his mates and his pocket money, not the people whose story it is. Coach wasn't cast well. It didn't justify the spirit of the team and played Pasifika down. The whole film lacked. Used to be a huge Taika fan but hes selling out. Don't tell our stories if you're going to continue the narrative of goofy islanders with the white man saving the day. But wait. He's allowed to because he's Samoan aye, Rita.
