Brian Lowry CNN.com Chang Can Dunk isn’t an all-star, but viewed that way it’s a nice wrinkle on an old story – the sort of calculated leap that, unlike Chang’s gamble, feels like a pretty good bet. Mar 11, 2023 Full Review Peter Debruge Variety “Chang Can Dunk” doesn’t go the way you’d expect, and that’s a good thing. Mar 10, 2023 Full Review Justin Chang Los Angeles Times “Chang Can Dunk” gets that the pursuit of fun, seemingly frivolous goals can be meaningful in itself, especially when undertaken with the loving encouragement of friends and family. Mar 10, 2023 Full Review Rachel Ho The Asian Cut The ensemble's rounded performances, and interesting themes elevates Chang Can Dunk into a delightful surprise — offering more than initially expected. Rated: 7/10 Jul 5, 2024 Full Review Maxance Vincent InSession Film Don't hesitate on seeing Chang Can Dunk. If there's one March basketball film to watch this month, it's this one.

Travis J No clue why this movie scored so high? The acting is very forced and unnatural. The movie is also extremely predictable and corny. Do not waist your time unless you like cringe Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/18/25 Full Review Joanna T Chang can dunk was a great movie but the very last scene ending was enraging. Why would you cut it off like that Disney?! Very rude! Lost 1 star bc of the ending and ending only. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/11/25 Full Review Carlos A This movie was a decent film Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/28/25 Full Review Audience Member First and foremost, I want what Jake H is snorting. This movie tickled my balls in the most wrong way possible. Sometimes I think about some of the best basketball movies ever and ts was not it gang. I was blue balled, r worded and downright killed. I wish I can go back in time and never have to watch this movie. From this point forward I am retiring from basketball because of Chang. I hope to never be like him and strive as a somewhat likeable person (unlike Chang's b*tch*ss). The end. Sincerely, the man who is going to end it all bc of this man. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/24/25 Full Review Paul S First of all I want what Jake H is smoking. I wouldn't recommend this movie if I was held at gunpoint. Chang was unlikable the whole movie but he was good at cheating. As a cheater myself, I was inspired by his finesse and quick thinking. The End. P.S. (You know what) this movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/24/25 Full Review Cristiano L 4.5 stars, great movie which is very inspiring , this movie has a great plot. This movie really shows you can do what ever you set you goal too. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/25 Full Review Read all reviews
