How did you like Always Be My Maybe?
Love it
Loved it !!
So good!
Didn't. It was not that great, in my humble opinion. Keanu Reeves, however, was incredibly good in this comedic role.
@@tarteauxframboises I read your comment with Randall Park's voice in my head.
As an Asian-American woman who grew up in San Francisco, I LOVE "Always Be My Maybe" so much. Though my Filipino heritage is different from Sasha and Marcus, my upbringing in San Francisco as an Asian-American was too relatable to me :) Me and my boyfriend really enjoyed the movie (and yes, he's a big Keanu Reeves fan LOL).
you guys love your food. thats for sure. lol(lived in phil for 2 years)
My hats off to Wong and Park, but especially to Mr. Reeves for participating in this movie. A - list actors such as Reeves don't have much time since they are always very busy with their Hollywood schedules and etc. Therefore, it showed how down to earth Keanu really is to support this film. I enjoyed this film, it was hilariously entertaining and funny.
I loved it. It was totally hilarious and me and my boyfriend were laughing out loud a lot. It should have been released in theaters. Best comedy I’ve seen in a while.
It was released in theaters but only select theaters which is a shame
I LOVED the movie!! Grew up and went to college in California and loved all the references to my home state’s culture including the music. Big Keanu fan. I loved the whole storyline. I saw it twice and told all my friends to see it!!
I love Keanu Reeves in all his movies, he is my favorite actor of all times.
First i watched because of Keanu then i found the movie good and hilarious
Reeves does deadpan comedy brilliantly
@TreeFiddy I haven't. But honestly he was way more emotive in that movie than this one 😆
I loved this movie a lot. Lots of moments that bring up painful memories, balanced perfectly with intelligent comedy. I don't watch a lot of rom coms but I'd recommend this to everyone.
Also, Hello Peril... some of the best hip hop I've heard recently!
Best believe, I punched Keanu Reeves
And it was better than any scene
You could see in Speed
I hit John wick
And now I’m feeling so appealing
Basically, I’m a god
You could call me Hercules
Yes this is the best song ever
That Keanu Reeves is god and we should not question him...???
Preach 👐👐👐
@@AnaTheWiseBanana Yes! Thank you.!
I believe Ali and Randall's movie will do what everyone thought CRA would do, I think the doors have not only been opened but kicked in.
Watched this movie last night. Really enjoyed it.
8:56 i died 😂
Absolutely loved every scene in this movie. It was freakin' funny and awesome.
I loved it, loved it
I hadn't seen the trailer so I literally jumped when Keanu walked in that restaurant
LMAO 😂 this movie was great and Keanu Reeves was hilarious! LOVE HIMMMMM
I’ve seen it twice now. Plan to watch it again. It is that good! So many funny scenes!
I haven't laughed so much at a romantic comedy in a long time, this movie was hilarious. It almost seemed like they were self-aware, and spoofing romantic comedy cliche's and tropes. And, yes, Keanu playing an exaggerated, pretentious version of himself was fucking hysterical, lol!
I saw it. Hello Peril is awesome!
Totally enjoyed this flick. Saw it 3x
That was AWESOME!!! Thanks for the background information.
I actually really enjoyed this…as with all the John Wick series I watched it with my Grandson..Keanu Reeves really played an actual weird jerk and that was so different..but it is one we will definitely watch again on one of our Keanu Reeves all night binges…👍👍..!!!
"The late twenty-tens marked an uptick in the amount of movies staring Asian-American actors" you make that sound like there's been a ton of movies with Asian-American leads for the past 3 or 4 years, but it's been about 3 movies, including this one, in the past year only.
He sound sounds Yoda - "You must use the Force, Sasha." Haha.
Amazing music feel like I am at at live concert in my living thank you whoever dose this
Keanu Reeves is Asian, Cate Beckinsale is Asian, Bruce Lee is Asian! Asian Sensation!!!!
I did fall out of my chair when I saw Keanu fucken Reeves mehnnn....its refreshing to see him
This was such a good movie! A must watch
💙 it. Had to see it again. Hope to see more movies like that. Seems like some individuals need to have more sense of humor in their lives these days with so much sad news in the world. From Tex Mex girl.
Always Be My Maybe is a lot more relatable than CRA for Asian Americans...
Love Keanu in this movie, he's hilarious !
This looks excellent.:-):-D Movie references in films are wonderful.:-):-D Ragga?:-):-):-D I want to meet Keanu Reeves someday very soon.He is so sweet.:-):-D That is wonderful,Park.I love seeing family member's paintings and drawings in films and series. Satire is marvelous.
I saw this movie recently. Hilarious! It's specific but highly relatable and I lubs it 👍🏾🔥
What I liked about this film is that it wasn't forced.
There’s a scene from Vancouver BC!
This is my kind of movie...can't wait to see.
This was such a good movie!
Compared to CRA, this flick has a better script, more creativity, genuine funny jokes/moments. LOVE that Mr. Kim speaks PERFECT AMERICAN.
In CRA - "going East" for Rachel, A PROFESSOR WHO SHOULD KNOW HER GEOGRAPHY, meant "Queens"
- lead actor was only half Asian - felt British Accent was UNNECESSARY for male character Nick.
- last airplane scene SO FORMULAIC.
Which is why CRA was more "mainstream", it's so that white people can enjoy it somewhat since the book was popular among white people as well
@@americanfreedomandworldpea6912
I understand the book was a parody of Asians.
Loved loved this movie
Loved it!!!!!
So predictable, yet so fresh.
Thanks 🌴🍉 jocina Kujna 🌹🍉
Mad this is not on big screen . Wan to see this, please make available at red box rentals.
It was in select theaters, I saw it when it came out in the theaters. I guess they only played it in certain places
Im just here because keanu reeves is on the thumbnail
I liked it.
One correction: at 4:01, you say, "And Sasha preparing spam musubi for dinner." She's not making spam musubi. Musubi is technically a rice ball, and spam musubi is generally made by putting a slice of spam on top of a block of rice, or in between two layers of rice, and wrapping it with a strip of seaweed (it would look like a giant piece of spam sushi). Sasha is just making spam and rice. And you really butchered Niki Nakayama's name at 8:32. Other than that, I really liked this review, it was very thorough and you included a lot of clips from the movie.
I think in the scene after, when Sasha was sitting in the living room, she was putting the rice and spam together. At least, that's what I saw.
I just rewatched it and she's eating the spam and rice separately using chopsticks while watching TV in the living room. No hints of making a musubi.
Yes, just spam and rice! That’s something that I grew up with when my Vietnamese parents left me home alone to cook for my siblings.
Keanu, I didn't see that coming.
Very good movie
Good job
That was a surprisingly good movie
This movie is phenomenal
Great hilarious movie!!
LCC not LLC
Really funny
It is a great movie man
I LOVED THIS MOVIE!
Why I just need a story
But my parents do speak with an accent lol oh well
I am late to this video but this is the type of minority allyship I live for!!! We love to see it. Everytime I thought of a parellel achievement for BIPOC, it was mentioned. ♡
😍
I loved it an I'm white
Representation doesn't matter, what matters is merit and skill, which they have.
Why is the thumbnail Keanu and Ali when the main actors are randall and ali? What do you have against full asian men? Why do you need keanu as your thumbnail?
as a German, i have a serious question bc i didn’t know “taking off your shoes” is an asian thing: DO AMERICANS WEAR SHOES INSIDE THE HOUSE?!
Most white/Caucasian Americans wear shoes inside the house.
Allison Tran that’s fucked up
French dude here, barefoot at home, but I already had some upstairs neighbours with shit for brains keeping their heavy shoes and high heels all day and night
@@tilda4699 I had a few white American friends and only one of them didn't care whether or not there were shoes inside the house or not so whenever I came over, it was "do whatever you're more comfortable with".
@@jdmoose2519 It's definitely not true for everyone, but it does happen. It really depends.
I wish ?
It was very funny and even heartfelt at times but I thought the character building and conflict resolution was quite lazy. Like SPOILER ALERT
The fact that they actually hate each other's lifestyles was never dealt with, it was just shrugged off like "oh well, they still want to be together so guess they'll suck it up"... I also didn't like how Marcus's single big achievement in the whole movie was how their merch store blew up - and even that was due to Sasha buying it all...🤦 On top of that, Marcus is kind of a jerk *a lot* of the time. So I just kept asking myself "Why would she be with _this_ guy again?".
So a bit disappointed with these parts but it was still pretty enjoyable.
Well, they did KINDA deal with it, by Sasha changing it up, and making her New York restaurant more of a homey, cozy place, based on the recipes she learned from Marcus's mom. But, yeah... Total rom-com cliche, convenient ending where love conquers all, lol!
@@Bayougirl78 yeah fair point - but still the fact that she's a _celebrity chef_ who will always do red carpets and other fancy stuff doesn't change, you know what I mean? At least Marcus is finally pushed to move out and get up to things other than smoking weed all day but that's like thank God, that's the bare minimum at that age 😅
Valid points if it were real life but it’s a Rom Com. So the tidy story wrap up isn’t surprising if you look at it from that perspective. It’s light and funny with touching moments.
Marcus never actually fully dealt with his mother's death and kind of subconsciously uses her death as an excuse to never leave his comfort zone. Even his father started to move on and met someone new, and told Markus to stop holding his life back because of feeling sorry for his dad being alone. But the relationship between Sasha and Markus brought the best out of both of them, although they both needed to stop holding back and lying to themselves and be genuine with each other and themselves. Sasha was changing who she was because she became a rich celebrity and Markus reminded her of who she really was deep down, and Sahsha keeps dating jerks to fill her void and live in a fake world of celebrities (no offense to Keanu Reeves who was just playing a caricature of himself, or Daniel Dae Kim, both actually great guys in real life). Markus needed to finally face his mother's death and stop letting it hold him back.
Halle Berry not Tisha Camball.
Steven Duece Tisha Campbell played Eddie Murphy’s neighbor
Halle wasn't a comedic character in Boomerang
Ahh effing the avengers
Name of Person 9:39
‘Spam musubi’
Why did you go from red wine and then white wine ,
*LCC not LLC oof lol
No thanks to their food, I'll pass. Yulin and Boknal show it all.
Just Google the two words and like me you will wonder what type of human doesn't realize in thousand years that cruelty is not ok.
So what, Americans in the South eat frog legs and alligator meat, it's all culture and not every Asian dish is cruel (which in America there are laws so they can't serve very exotic foods in America anyways)
Keanu isn’t Asian-American?
He’s also Canadian
@@justicefortheoppressed5014 how did you even find my comment from a year ago with no likes lol
@@brett__ I guess being a Canadian, the comment caught my eye cause I want others to know that Keanu Reeves is Canadian 😊
@@justicefortheoppressed5014 hahah thanks c:
His mother is English, originating from Essex, England. His American father is from Hawaii, and is of Native Hawaiian, Chinese, English, Irish, and Portuguese descent. His grandmother from his father's side is Chinese Hawaiian. Just do a Google search. His grandmother is Chinese Hawaiian, so he is of mixed race, mostly Caucasian but also Chinese roots which you can tell by looking at his eyes.
This video is in good intention but it's also the whitest video in universe. wOw check these Asians out they take off their shoes when they entered a house!?!
I don't care about the race, sexual preference, or any of it regarding the leads. Just have something to say and be able to say (ie: act). Watched IBIZA the other night and it was total crap. Ya, great, all female leads but in a total formulaic dumb movie. No matter the gender. Same for "Rough Night" - garbage.
I didn’t like it. I thought her character was too mean
Where in the world do you live where you think she was mean??? If she was mean, you obviously live in candy land or under a rock!
Lyna Le Tulsa, Oklahoma
Horrible demeaning shameful embarrassing ending. Park's character gave up his life and career so he can hold her purse!!!🙄🤬😡🤬
Ali's parents in the movie, I've never seen Vietnamese parents behave that way in real life. How is any of that believable or realistic?
As for Park's dad, what the heo?? Have you ever seen an older asian father like that in real life??? I haven't. And I've been around Asians all my life.
The movie had its funny moments, especially with Keanu Reeves in the restaurant. But that game scene afterward, dragged on way too long.
The ending actually upset me. It was OFFENSIVE. 2/10.
Never seen parents like sashas but dads like marcus's? Yes. Especially in major cities like san fran and la. Even in sacramento.
What ending did you watch?? He's still in the band, he's still making music, he's still friends with them.
That whole speech was Marcus promising not to be an asshole about Sasha's success and opening himself up to new experiences.
A relationship is about sacrificing for the other person, and trying to change to be better. Sasha stopped trying to be fake and more genuine especially being a rich celebrity, she changed her new restaurant to pay tribune to Marcus's mother and make genuine food. And Marcus is stop trying to be scared of taking risks, and also let go the death of his mother which his father even have already moved on but he didn't. Both people in the relationship have to try to be better for the other person
The truth is that this movie is overrated, it's average, there's nothing new outside of the fact that the cast is mainly asian. The only good point is Keanu Reeves who, fortunately, was there to save the movie.
Not white enough for me
Thomas Watvedt not everything has to be white :)
you have A LOT of films to choose from then ☺️
Yes, because that is exactly what the rom-com genre is lacking. Not enough representation of white couples... Dude, seriously? Lol
@@supremecookiee but it should
@@itsflowerside a lot of OLD movies
