This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
I wasn't expecting to love it, but it was definitely entertaining. Brian Lee from Mad TV pulled the production together and did a good job selecting the other 3 Korean American comedians. I was concerned they'd all have the same schtick on family and parents, but they all brought their own style to the show.The humor centered a lot on race and sex, but that's not so surprising - there's a lot of humor to be had on that front. The last two comedians seemed to have more experience and material than the second, but the deleted scenes were a riot and definitely worth viewing as well. Overall, I thought it was good to see some new faces to Asian American comedy.
