Rating:  - An all-time FAVE of mine
This movie is truly hard to find and I'm so glad I found it!
Anyways, Margaret Cho isn't Chinese either. OH WELL. That's just how it works. If the actor is best suited to play the role then at times it doesn't matter if they're a Filipino actor or a Korean actress playing Chinese characters. They were VERY well suited for their parts and made the movie so much more enjoyable!
Rating: - hes not chinese
this was a good film but there is one error i would like to point out, for those who dont know, DANTE BASCO IS NOT CHINESE HE'S FILIPINO. i dont see why they had to get a filipino person to play that role when they copuld have had the real thing. now a lot of people think hes a chinese guy but he isnt. but the movie was very funny n i enjoyed it because im touch on racial issues and it annoys me when people try to act like something they're not. i hear people saying they cant help what they grow ...

Rating: - Quite impressive! Margaret Cho steals the film!
A great film exploring personal identity in culture and class. Dante basco does a wonderful job in his portrayal of an Asian boy who was adopted and raised in a Black family. Great development of characters and of the relationships between the characters.
Margaret Cho steals the show with her role as an exchange student who has been accidentally dropped off at the wrong host family but learns to soak up the culture throughout the movie. Now you KNOW that's gonna be hilarious!

Faking the funk deals with this subject matter in a humorous yet effective way and demonstrates the commonality of all people, regardless of race. I live in the Baldwin Hills area of Los Angeles and couldn't help by chuckle at the reference ... Read More

We saw this film last night on USA and it was cool. Had some great moments and made us laugh. The entire cast was great and really brought everyone together.
