New Post: ‘Shortcomings’ review: Messy, rock-bottom characters make Randall Park’s comedy - https://lnkd.in/gxsxPdA8 - Shortcomings opens with a movie in a movie. We meet Mrs. Wong (Everything Everywhere All At Once's Stephanie Hsu), a woman in a fancy yellow gown, just as her application for a penthouse apartment gets rejected. Seconds later, her suit-wearing husband (M3GAN's Ronny Chieng) buys the entire building, prompting the two to kiss passionately in the elevator up to their new luxury home. Fireworks erupt, fairy tale music swells, and a title card proclaims that this is "just the beginning..."Cut to an audience of rapturous viewers at the East Bay Asian American Film Festival. Everyone leaps to give a standing ovation except one disdainful man. That man is Ben Tanaka (Justin H. Min), and he will be our misanthropic guide through Randall Park's hilarious feature directorial debut, based on the graphic novel by Adrian Tomine. SEE ALSO: Is going to a movie during the WGA/SAG-AFTRA strike crossing the picket line? While everyone around Ben gushes about the film, acknowledging that it's "a little glossy, but it's ours," he can only muster up the weak statement that it was "quite an event." As he later tells his girlfriend and festival organizer Miko (Ally Maki), he couldn't stand the "garish, mainstream" romantic comedy they just sat through, which, yes, bears a pointed resemblance to Crazy Rich Asians. Is it really a win for Asian American representation if this is the movie the community chooses to celebrate?Ben — a struggling filmmaker himself as well as a certified film bro — would much rather Asian characters in movies have flaws, like himself and everyone he knows. It's a bit of a meta ask, as Shortcomings, itself an "event" of Asian American representation, is all too happy to oblige. Its characters are messy, selfish, and often just inches away from hitting rock bottom, and none are more so than Ben. And herein lies one of Shortcomings' most intriguing tensions: Ben is so determined to preach about how much he wants to see flawed characters, but he has absolutely no intention of addressing his own failings.Shortcomings' Ben is a jerk who won't acknowledge his flaws — and you can't look away.

For one, he can't even pretend to be interested in the film or in Miko's work at the festival. As his and Miko's banter about representation escalates to an all-out argument, he resorts to belittling her and calling her crazy. Later, we learn that Ben has a type, and that type is "blonde white women." His unwillingness to even discuss this with Miko or understand why it migh
