I was super excited to see this. It looked so funny and I was interested in seeing Asian actors on screen doing their thing.

Like others said, the acting wasn't all that great overall. The funniest parts were in the trailer.

I did laugh at parts. But the oversexed scenes were cringe and felt like reaching way down in the barrel.

I enjoyed a lot of the sex references, but could have done without the sex scenes and I'm no prude. Lolo;s references were very funny.

But the 3-way, just ugh. And the other scene with the ball would have been a lot funnier cut short, but went on just too long. A lot of it seemed so contrived and the p* tattoo was much funnier as a reference. We didn't need to actually see it.

Sometimes just telling is much funnier than showing. Let the audience laugh at the idea.

I really, really, really wanted to like this, but yeah the reviews are right.
