Critic Reviews for Boogie
All Critics (80) | Top Critics (22) | Fresh (34) | Rotten (46)
With so much on the line, Boogie just sort of dribbles to nothingness.
Writer/director Eddie Huang's flawed feature does have flashes to recommend it, particularly in depicting matters of the heart between Boogie and a no-nonsense Black classmate.
I really wanted to like this movie, but honestly it's really tedious.
The story of a Chinese American kid's hoop dreams is hard to enjoy when the depictions of the game are so wrongheaded.
Boogie is at times unpolished but it offers a compelling and sympathetic portrayal of the title character and avoids excessive melodrama or a too-facile ending.
Whatever desire to get real that the film was born out of, it ultimately feels like a sign that it's time to do some growing up.
