Not only is the film simply boring and unenjoyable, but its confused identity leads to an experience that seemingly will satisfy no individual audience member completely.

Eddie Huang's directorial debut suffers from a poor script, uneven acting, and a lack of originality.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 8, 2021

What it lacks in story originality, it more than makes up for in believably angry naturalism.

[One wonders what] could have been had Huang simply had any sort of faith in both his material and the intelligence of his viewing audience.

The film fuses disparate elements. [Full review in Spanish]

'Boogie' is a dramatic sports movie.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 7, 2021

What Huang's film truly lacked was a compelling lead actor and something to say. If you lack those two signature ingredients in a sports drama, your end result will be subpar.

| Original Score: C- | Mar 31, 2021

You know. Just a movie.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Mar 31, 2021

Taylour Paige really shines here and shows why she's an exciting up-and-coming actress.

| Original Score: B | Mar 31, 2021

This one did something for me I wasn't expecting it to.

| Original Score: 2./4 | Mar 26, 2021

Ultimately, if most every other variation on these hoop dreams has been told, Boogie at least deserves the court time.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 26, 2021

The performances from the new actors are a bit rough in delivery, but Huang's screenplay feels like a word salad of how one thinks teenagers talk today.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 18, 2021

Everything about this boring film was uneven from the storytelling to the acting.

| Original Score: C | Mar 17, 2021

Boogie, as a result, can be an effort to tango with. But ... it has much to offer to the Asian-American cinematic representation forum - as much as it is a notable-enough showcase of Huang's voice.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 15, 2021

Boogie takes a good concept (a Chinese American teenager with goals to play NBA basketball) and squanders it on uneven acting, subpar filmmaking, and an obnoxious main character.

| Mar 14, 2021

A strong directorial debut from Eddie Huang. It's a lively, complex film that almost transcends its sports movie roots.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 12, 2021

At least it shines some light on Asian American athletes, but not to the degree to give "Boogie" some much needed cinematic boogie. (Full Content Review for Parents - Violence, Profanity, Sexual Content, etc. - also Available)

| Original Score: 5/10 | Mar 12, 2021

At its best, it is a film that captures the critical conflict of trying to achieve the American Dream without compromising the culture you come from. It just takes far too many circuitous routes to get there.

| Mar 12, 2021

There's a lot of promise and things to enjoy and appreciate in Boogie when the movie distances itself from its own worst creative impulses.

| Mar 11, 2021

With so much on the line, Boogie just sort of dribbles to nothingness.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 11, 2021
