"Chang Can Dunk" follows Chang, a 16-year-old, Asian American high school student in the marching band, who bets the school basketball star that he can dunk by Homecoming. The bet leads the 5' 8" Chang on a quest to find the hops he needs to dunk in order to impress his crush, Kristy, and finally gain the attention and respect of his high school peers. But before he can rise up and truly throw one down, he'll have to reexamine everything he knows about himself, his friendships and his family.

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.

“Chang Can Dunk” doesn’t go the way you’d expect, and that’s a good thing.

“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.

Cameron R My Hinge date was in this and slayed? Yas! 😍😍😍 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/18/24 Full Review r96 s Far from perfect, though 'Chang Can Dunk' manages to leave a mark.Its plot is told in quite a heavy-handed manner, while the pacing and acting (cast are likeable, mind) isn't all that noteworthy. However, bits of the story do have a decent tinge of sadness attached to them, particularly with Chang and his mother, Chen. The film made me feel something, so props for that.I don't have much more to say about it. Not a great movie, but one that manages to make itself work - at least it did for me. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/26/24 Full Review R C Enjoyed this one. Heartfelt mom and son journey. A testament to climbing an uphill battle and eventual redemption. And love the fact the major theme was not about being Asian. Very happy the acting was on point. I applaud Chang Can’t Dunk!
