Chang Can Dunk
Chang, a 16-year-old Asian American, makes a bold wager with the high school basketball star: can he dunk by Homecoming? Standing at 5'8", Chang embarks on a quest to master the dunk—not only to wow his crush, Kristy, but to win the respect of his peers as well. Yet before he can rise and truly slam one down, he must reevaluate everything he believes about himself, his friendships, and his family.

Far from perfect, though <em>'Chang Can Dunk'</em> manages to leave a mark. Its plot is told in quite a heavy-handed manner, while the pacing and acting (cast are likeable, mind) isn't all that noteworthy. However, bits of the story do have a decent tinge of sadness attached to them, particularly with Chang and his mother, Chen. The film made me feel something, so props for that. I don't have much more to say about it. Not a great movie, but one that manages to make itself work - at least it did for me.
