Asian America

According to the Youtube description:

“Christopher “C-Dub” Wang is a suburban guy who waxes political on all things Asian American and clings to pro basketball pipe dreams. But when misfortune strikes his family, C-dub must overcome living at home, working a dead-end job and his worldly older brother, to run his Mom’s ping pong classes and defend the family’s athletic dynasty.”

Okay, now I’ll be honest here. 

After watching this trailer, at best, I thought it was “cute”.  But the more and more I think about it, the more I realize that this is basically a Will Farrell movie with lots of Asian people in it. 

I know you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, just as you shouldn’t judge a whole movie by its trailer.  But who are we kidding here?  This movie does NOT look funny at all.  In fact, it even seems a little painful to watch.

Everyone out there can criticize me all they want.  But if it’s true that trailers are suppose to contain the best parts of a movie then we are possibly looking at the worst Asian American movie ever made.
