I'm torn as to how I feel about this movie. On one hand, it's humorous in its satire/mockumentary of continuing with Bruce Lee's dream.

On one hand, it's humorous in its satire/mockumentary of continuing with Bruce Lee's dream. On the other, it's very offensive to the Lee family, not to mention quite a bit racist towards the Asian community. So, I'll just give it 2 1/2 stars... somewhere in the middle. It takes a lot to personally offend me, but that doesn't mean I don't know how others might feel. I did laugh, and I'm okay with that. And since it was directed by Justin Lin, it's "less" offensive. Still, it's not a great movie, so I won't be suggesting it to any friends.
Watched 15 minutes of it, then turned it off. Just not a big fan of mockumentary. It does look like it has it's funny moment, but I just didn't have the patience to keep watching to see if it did.

Unfortunately, the film only succeeds at being funny about half the time. They do a great job of creating a 70's look, however.

The Director Justin Lin of "Fast & the Furious: Tokyo Drift" and the new "Fast & Furious" definitely switches up the gears here from his usual work. the film starts out really funny then the comedic aspects are kind of hit or miss depending on the viewers sense of humor. "Finishing the Game" is a film that is really hard to figure out I definitely didn't hate it and I'm not sure how much I liked it. In the end I would definitely recommend it if you like 70's type films and/or mockumentaries.
Not the greatest comedy, but it's a clever concept and has its stellar moments.
a hilarious movie, i note that every cast in this movie act very natural. Its like you actually saw a documentary film, not a satire comedy. all the characters did their best and none of them have fall. Who can forget a quote from BREEZE LO...a te...

Who can forget a quote from BREEZE LO...a terrible pepsi-coca cola compare to Bruce lee : "there are actually actors that did all of their stunts bythemself, they are called stuntmen...hahahahahha hillarious
Pretty funny but over all, underwhelming. I was surprised to see that MC Hammer is still alive.

If its critique sometimes lacks grace, it's nonetheless bolstered by a shrewd understanding of the way pop culture exploits minority differences for entertainment purposes.full review
