Shortcomings (2023)
6/10
lead character not funny
3 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Film snob Ben (Justin H. Min) complains about the latest Asian-American rom-com. His girlfriend Miko (Ally Maki) calls him out on his preference for white girls like his new hire MPDG Autumn (Tavi Gevinson). His gay friend Alice (Sherry Cola) takes him to a lesbian party where he meets Sasha (Debby Ryan).

Ben is a complaining, low-energy, pathetic prick and not in a funny way. I get it but he's kinda annoying. While he's not funny, there are a few funny moments especially coming from Timothy Simons. More than anything, he doesn't deserve all these hot babes. I don't know what I'm rooting for. One thing is for sure. I don't want him ending up with any of these girls. They don't deserve the headache. I do like where he ends up which is with nothing but self-reflection.
