Despite its flaws, “K-Pops!” was undeniably made with love—love for music, pop culture, family, and the variety we can find in this magical world. Go to Full Review Monita Roy Mohan Women Write About Comics Aug 20
I can’t recommend K-Pops highly enough. It’s a tour de force of passion, love, and music. And jokes. So many jokes. I am still laughing at the memory of some of them. Go to Full Review Wilson Kwong The Asian Cut Mar 19
When it comes down to it, .Paak seems capable of crafting a cohesive story as a filmmaker, but doesn’t necessarily display the flares of creative ingenuity he clearly has as a musician. Go to Full Review Shawn Peer That Shelf 11/01/2024
[K-Pops!] may not leave a lasting impression, but it tells an enjoyable and relatable story, and that’s, to an extent, enough. Go to Full Review Nate Adams The Movie Sleuth 09/28/2024

To its credit, the movie isn’t mean or condescending on the world of pop music, but it’s too broad and choppy to be anything other than a below-average father/son comedy. Go to Full Review Isabella Soares Collider 09/17/2024
7/10
With energetic dance sequences and a heartwarming bond between a father and a son, K-Pops! is a bundle of joy that rarely misses a beat. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
