  • The Netflix romantic comedy Always Be My Maybe is not only hilarious, but it has an original and fresh new take on the romcom genre. It stars comedian Ali Wong and Randall Park as childhood friends Sasha and Marcus.
    The two have not been in touch for a long time, since their brief teenage fling ended badly. As you'd expect from a romcom, they rekindle their romance but have to face obstacles to maintain their newfound connection.
    Besides starring action star Keanu Reeves, what else is there to know about this hilarious movie? You won’t be disappointed with Always Be My Maybe and here are some more details to get you caught up.

    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).

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • @aznmochibunny
      @aznmochibunny Před 5 lety

      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.

    • @RonGee
      @RonGee Před 5 lety +1

      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.

    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.

    • @Bayougirl78

      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.

    • @americanfreedomandworldpea6912
      @americanfreedomandworldpea6912 Před rokem +1

      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.

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
