    Déjà......Vu
    I personally haven't watched that many sports dramas, but I know a recycled script when I see one. The struggles encountered in the pursuit of the american dream as seen from a chinese person's perspective is what drew me to this movie in the first place, yet it felt like the script was written for an African American then hastily changed on the first day of filming. You clearly see Eddie Huang's love for African American culture in this movie; maybe this love overshadowed his desire to give us a real, insightful look. I desperately hope I'm right, because if I'm wrong, if this is the actual, insightful look into a first generation chinese american's struggles, then sorry, I'VE ALREADY SEEN THE MOVIE!
