kaylacooper-91981 The acting from Ms.Tran was completely unnatural and felt forced in my opinion, I feel like this whole movie could have been scripted better.
cogeorge-17949 I happened to inadvertently watch this movie on a Saturday. I must say the really funny scenes made my weekend, while so many other scenes especially with the Stankershets were clearly overdone in the name of comedy. It's almost like a couple of hooligans invaded the house, leaving the inhabitants speechless, helpless or something. It really ticked me off. Joel Layogan has a lot to learn about cinematography. I wouldn't dabble into the Korean mother because I don't know anything about Korean culture, but I try to visualize the movie if the maternal character wasn't Asian.Two things kept me awake through the movie: One, Marques Houston, and two, to see how the families would reconcile, which wasn't even well done.Recommended for just a few laughs.
TV_MovieSnob I only made in 36 minutes before I had enough I don't know how it ends nor do I care to know how this movie ends I have never been more disgusted with a movie in my entire life and I am severely disappointed in the actors and actresses except ms. tran she's said anti-black rhetoric in real life so nothing she does surprises me whether it's in film or in real life. This movie is beyond offensive and the crappy quality of this movie speaks volumes what I don't understand is how they managed to get actors that are so highly respected Wendy Raquel Robinson, Shondrella Avery, Clifton Powell and Dorien Wilson to participate and act in this ratcheted movie! I can't speak for the Asian-Korean community but I don't understand why they would choose someone who is Vietnamese and Black to depict your culture and represent your community this way that's a spit in the face and I basically saying that you all look alike, that the culture is the same and that all blasians look alike! Chris Stokes and Marques Houston were CLEARLY COKED OUT OF THEIR MINDS when they made this movie because the disrespect was there on both fronts! Again I can't speak for the Asian- Korean community but I just felt it was SOOOOOOO DISGUSTING how they put on treasured Korean clothing and began chanting and making a complete mockery out of the culture I was completely fed up after Raquel who played the mother began singing a hymn and the moment I heard the blatant disrespect of African dialect when they all began to CLICK THEIR TONGUES WHILE SPEAKING! This movie is disgusting and every single person who played a part in it should be ashamed, ASHAMED, ASHAMED, ASHAMED! Be wary of these Marques Houston and Chris Stokes collabs and be wary of any movie or TV show involving ms. karrueche tran because please believe if she's in it then you already know it'll be a RACIST DISASTER! I seen this on Netflix, it needs to remove this movie from their roaster immediately all of the comments/ reviews state the same it's racist and offensive to BOTH Asian-korean and black culture! LAST BUT NOT LEAST THE ACTING AND THE WRITING WAS SO BAD SO BAD SO BAD, WHY DID THEY EVEN BOTHER MAKING THIS MOVIE WHY DID THE ACTORS AND ACTRESSES I LOVE AND RESPECT SO MUCH SIGN ON FOR THIS, THIS RACIST POS! I AM FLOORED and WHY DOES KARRUECHE TRAN KEEP GETTING CASTED FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SHE CAN'T ACT! SHE LITERALLY CANNOT ACT AND THEY KEEP PAIRING HER WITH PEOPLE THAT WE ACTUALLY LIKE TO SEE AND THAT CAN ACT! But tran or no tran this movie was terrible and they need to kill it with fire.
spgasparini I'll keep this short. Coming from a half Korean family, I was excited to watch a movie that might show something similar to my experience. I was extremely disappointed. I can't speak for the black side of the family, but as a Korean I find this pretty racist. The Korean mother is a complete Asian stereotype. In my opinion, apart from the hanbok they wear, there was nothing about the family that was accurately Korean. From the chopsticks in the daughter's hair, to the weird bowing thing they did before dinner, together this movie is a complete train wreck. We Asians aren't a joke, and African American people aren't either.
