Remake of Thai Movie Bad Genius (2017)
A group of seniors of an entrepreneurial high school team up to take down a rigged college admissions system.. At the beginning of the movie, there is a scene showing Lynn calculating the cost of commuting to the private school she toured. The movie showed a pile of public transportation tickets that clearly are marked with a SEPTA logo, which stands for Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority. SEPTA runs in the Philadelphia metropolitan area.
I related a lot
Half a minute later the movie identifies the city Lynn and dad live as Seattle.. References Roots (1977). My review should be at the top! As a Chinese American 1st gen.
I liked it a lot!
Stern father who made me so hw as soon as I am home. So it is very relatable to Chinese 1st gen girls.Excellent movie!!It was good !! I am a 1st Gen Chinese American girl in NY & my immigrant Chinese father def drilled college into my life.So I related to the relationship between her & her father, it reminded me of my father and I.I thought it was an original story line but I found out it was a remake. For the American version, it would have been more up to date if it was like a test required to like live or a test to get into this like elite only one like this type of college.
(Even magic lol)
If the SATs were still important…but I guess even if it's not that big of a deal to colleges, I'm sure it's a big deal to some old school parents / care about ur education parents.But what am I saying! I enjoyed this movie, I think the plot is original (even if this pertains to the original) – I loved the actors (esp Benedict Wong <3 ) & the actress is a stand out .. looks like a promising young addition to the "Asian Actresses" in the Hollywood community. Love that she speaks Canto..
