Don't Believe the Hype

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

I found the Wongfu rendition of young relationships to be an honest take of reality. It had the additional kicker of a government agency gone wild. This was quite amusing.I certainly enjoyed it more than higher budget movies.Thank you.

I won't spoil nothing that Netflix summary wouldn't already give away.I thought the concept of a public Agency meddling in our affairs and overstepping boundaries in this word was kinda original and interesting, but it could've been better executed maybe. I mean..dude. Gattaca..now that was blockbuster ya know. rating ppl based on their DNA (valids and invalids)I did see a lot of familiar faces. I don't even know what or who "WF" is, as one altruistic industry reviewer refers to, but even I noticed some biased casting here. Don't we hear so much gripe about Hollywood being bias and stuff, this is blatantly bias. The couples had no Chemistry shown. moments, were just bleh and awkward looking. -- high school play? Ben was believable... he seemed into her (i almost thought he was Leonardo Nam from the Perfect score all grown up but hmm...IMDb proved me wrong). I watched it to the very end, so it was OK.

Big props to WongFu for making their film. But honestly couldn't watch past twenty minutes, had to skip through to reach the middle and just stopped completely. Fans need to be realistic and tell WongFu the truth, don't just fan girl it out and say everything they make is wonderful. Its true what others have said that they aren't popular as before or relevant. Please, please, please move on from the sappy romance and the typical lovers quarrel! I wasn't emotionally invested in the film, didn't like any of the characters, and it was just sooo cheesy. How could people sit through it all? Might as well watch their shorts on Youtube. Hopefully you get actors that have more depth to them and read their lines better without sounding so bland. The only guy that did it for me was Randall Park. But even his lines weren't so interesting or engaging. Try something new please. Like drama, sci fi, just something away from romance because you aren't really there anymore. I am a fan but I say it like I mean it. I was so happy to see an Asian American cast but that's about it. And no more Youtuber cameos in your films please, it takes away from the story and their acting skills aren't, well, they aren't meant for acting. Hopefully WongFu will listen to the negative side and not assume that just because everyone says its good, doesn't mean it is. Please do better and try something new.

i really wanted to watch this movie... I had seen most of the other wongfu shorts and love them all! With this one, it's different cause it's a full length movies so I wasn't sure how wongfu would handle this one. However, they did pretty damn well! The acting was pretty top notch, especially Randall park and Aaron yoo, and the cast was just a great choice. The story reflects how love is not easy, which is a great concept and thingy... We can relate to it in many ways, but I don't wanna spoil it. What I will say is that things change between the two couples; we can probs most easily relate to the younger couple as it seems as if everything is fresh and great, but that isn't how it will always go. With the adult couple, it's completely different and it can reflect how you are after breaking up with someone you deeply love. Overall, a great film however it's not perfect, a few small flaws here and there. I recommend you rent it for about $6!
