I very much enjoyed this film when it aired repeatedly on USA Networks. The film elevated the 90's comedies to a new standard, especially in integrating cross-cultures before its time. The funny thing is now many colleges and universities have 'Fakin' Da Funk' as a required watching in their multi-cultural classes, thus proving the film has steady legs even 10 years later.
The entire cast was exceptional and you could see they had a blast filming the movie. Duane Martin was wonderful as the antagonizer and Pam Grier was amazing as the mother to the Asian kid. Also John Witherspoon was truly hilarious as the unsuspecting neighbor having to now host an exchange student from China.
Phenomenal story, well-written, and very well made.
Overall, 9/10.
