SHORTCOMINGS | Official Trailer (2023)

[@finpark7785]

Love this new generation of Asian American films and film makers. Shortcomings is a great graphic novel by Adrian Tomine.

[@tierraellerbe1802]

Yes I noticed that too love to see it ☺👍🏽

[@annieothername]

@N dont think they said “new generation” to highlight an age demo, but rather a new era of production..

[@quocanhnguyen7275]

The book was horrendously racist and painted asian men in a bad light. Gave my trauma when I was 20 yrs old. We're not all sad depressing mfs, asian men i know are optimistic, hopeful, interesting and intelligent. Hopefully this will be better

[@annieothername]

@Quoc Anh Nguyen yeeee, tbf the opening line was incredibly off, and having Debby Ryan’s character say “maybe it isn’t your race :/“ tells me this is gonna be…not my kind of movie.i appreciate your sharing your experience with it, I never knew the graphic novel

[@_marimopeace]

i didn't ever expect to see justin min and debby ryan in the same frame but here we are!! super cool for randall park to be directing rather than starring and i'm so excited to see this story on the big screen!

[@Jerpavoo]

white women are overrated anyways, after marriage they turn into Karens and pop ozempics like a pez dispenser.

[@jjosiah1010]

Of course his character name is Ben here too lol love it

[@chovue2363]

Multiverse

[@FancyUnicorn]

The multiverse where he drops out of Sparrow Academy

[@yellowantonio-nado7761]

Actually the character he is based on it's named Ben in the graphic novel. Was Justin in another movie with a role called Ben too?

that last scene was hilarious He was so hopeful and excited...and then she takes the chair and leaves 🤣🤣

I swear, i honestly was not expecting that

It's terrible but I literally laughed out loud! 😂

Brutal

My life 🥲

[@rajeshdevika8827]

How things work out from asian men in general.

[@CHarr1991]

I loved this book in college! So cool to see it find a new medium/audience. Tomine is a great writer.

[@notavatarstany]

Halpert going places, good for him

[@TrickyNick79]

I hope this joke never dies.

[@jessdrawz5661]

I'm so psyched for this as a fan of Adrian Tomine's work!

If the movie is as good as the trailer, this will be a hit.

[@FanboyCantina]

Saw it at virtual Sundance 2023. Shortcomings is even better than the trailer.

[@AllgoodthingsTv]

Saw this tonight. If you liked the original Optic Nerve comics, you won't be disappointed. The movie follows the graphic novel beat for beat, with just a few exceptions that make it work better as a screen adaptation. The Alice-Ben relationship feels more authentic in the movie. Debby Ryan is great as Sasha and Justin Min is great as Ben Tanaka. I think Miko was miscast. That should've been Lucie Zhang. They don't really make smaller, indie movie like this anymore for theatrical release so enjoy it while you can.

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

They still make a lot of indie movies, it's just that their thetre run is limited because very few people actually go out to watch it.

[@jessicachhom7673]

lets gooo asian americanssss yasss

[@redrobotmonkey]

I liked the updated little references. Like the spider-man one for example and him only liking disney streamed content. The cameos were fun.

[@ilurvsharrypotter]

Put Justin Min in everything !!

[@keelahrose]

Congrats to Randall Park! So great to finally see movies and series being released with Asian leads! Looks like Shang-Chi and Crazy Rich Asians finally cracked open the dam!

[@Jerpavoo]

I definitely did (feel discriminated against), but not because I was Asian", "but because of your inherent bad personality." OMG that's sooooooo meeee!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

It’s such a lovely trailer! 👏🏽 Randall Park should be credited for an assured direction.

Assured direction?

[@HeisMuts]

"Is anyone sitting here"? "No" (pulls away chair) 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂 1:50

[@BeastNZ]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Ash_Queen16]

I didn’t expect that 💀💀

[@mosesoftheblock2311]

The scene at the end with the chair. Definitely experienced that.

[@yellowantonio-nado7761]

I loved the graphic novel. It was raw in exploring Many weaves of Asian American issues. Kind of dark in its implications about the minority experience and relationships. This trailer seems lighter on the mood and acts a little cutesy with the characters. I'm looking forward to the film. I hope it's good

[@trang_oxo]

We got another Ben 😂

[@MeHaveDonuts]

Good movie. Has some cute life lessons. Especially the ending.

[@JMBE21]

I'm happy to see Justin in more stuff 😁 I like his charisma

[@pauloszetarinielli69508]

"Is anyone sitting here?" 😂😂

[@deesong6722]

I loved this movie! Loved the friendship between Ben and Alice. I was praying they don’t break up…

[@ghanimaatreides5889]

THIS WILL BE BRILLIANT

[@jonathanmulondo9206]

Glad to see that Studios still support theatrical releases for indie films

[@primcasiha]

Light-hearted and heavy at the same time. Loving this!

[@VictorianVenus]

I need Justin H. Min and Steven Yeun to be in a movie together.

[@felicia1110]

they were together in beef?

[@finpark7785]

@@felicia1110 That's true, but they did say "movie" lol. But also, they should be in a movie together :p

[@johnrivers3813]

Beef is a five hour long movie

[@JDMimeTHEFIRST]

They were in Beef together

[@kwfown]

I’m onboard with these Asian American trend, about damn time!!

[@darhkblu]

Did not expect Debby Ryan to pop up in here,But pretty cool non the less...

[@jessicagl5569]

Thank you for this, Randall Park. I loved the raw and hilarious dialogue. The true feeling of loss and pride.

[@tma-1701]

OMG it is set in Berkeley! I could totally indulge in naming the places to distract the uncanny similarities of those characters to myself

[@funcats1999]

Bahah mood

[@charstar386]

If more trailers were this funny I’d go see more movies. ROTFL. Randall Park is my hero 😂😂😂😂

[@MrXabungle]

Sherry Cola is the perfect co-star to play the best friend.

[@ozgepolat6955]

I am so happy to see Justin Min he's so cute

[@StyleswithCourtney]

Lol no

[@notaburneraccount]

He's hot 😍

[@SidJoshi-sy6zv]

love all these actors from youtube sketches, especially wong fu!

[@bpxl53yewz29]

Finally a film with Asians as leads that doesn’t involve them back to the “motherland,” China, Singapore, or whatever, where they are just American. Having Asian leads doesn’t mean it always has to be about their culture. Are any of Liam Hemsworth’s movies about him going back to his roots in Australia? How about Arnold Schwarzenegger to Austria?

[@noahz]

Facts

[@lissettecuadra4843]

Saw this yesterday and I loved it! The actors are all wonderful in their roles, and make you feel as if you know them in real life. The main character, Ben, is definitely someone we all have dated, or at least had as a friend.

[@taightx_x]

Where did you see it?

[@galaxylucia1898]

This looks so good!! Kinda shocked it’s not an A24 film😂

[@lyle9252]

Honestly same

Such a well done trailer

[@butimbetterthantony]

Omg i read this graphic novel and loved it. Can't wait to watch it.

[@Hamburgervalentine]

So excited to see Justin min!!!

[@ssotkow]

Finally a leading role for the church leader in Beef and the adopted superhero orphan. Still don't know his name, but I remember his eerily half smile.

[@funcats1999]

Justin H Min

[@Rainmanai]

Now Ben is back at the original timeline because No 5 restore everything and he is living a normal life now

[@nolinpowe]

The whole is anyone sitting here thing is real 😂 I can't wait to see this film

[@ItsMeRhaine]

finally they are releasing actually good original movies. I'm looking forward to watching this one.

[@philipgwyn8091]

...based on a graphic novel.

[@ItsMeRhaine]

@@philipgwyn8091 at least it's not another remake or sequel

[@mnchls]

as a huge fan of the graphic novel and of Randall, i'm cautiously optimistic. this def seems to have a late-aughts/early-teens 'indie'/semi-twee vibe. fingers crossed.

[@RenanSCstratocaster]

This film made me feel strong emotions and look at my own faults and relationships in a way that I wasn’t emotionally prepared before watching it. Specially when I dated a girl that looked just like Sasha, and I was treated in a similar way too. Shit this really made me feel shitty, but now that the film is over I took my lesson from it, I need to look in the mirror and grow up. And just let the broken hearts feeling go and enjoy life and forgive people and let them go, and fresh new beginnings. ❤

[@aldakendall4921]

This looks really good. Now I must find the book

[@gilbertjacobs3705]

I'm thinking home screening to bring my nephews to actually watch this. it's going to be hilarious.

[@bloodnwine]

The last scene is so relatable.

[@JWickyJr13]

So this movie is basically what my life is currently like. I will see it five times in the theaters

[@notaburneraccount]

Same. Without the more toxic attributes of Ben. I nearly had the theater to myself save for one other random person. I liked the meta elements and Sherry Cola is fantastic.

"You could benefit from a little self-hatred" lol

[@Bono363]

This movie comes out the same day with Problemista.. time for double movie!

[@notaburneraccount]

I left the movie feeling kind of disoriented. Ben's life at the end is like mine - alone...and it f**kin hurts. It left me feeling emptier than I already do especially with things falling apart around me socially - moreso to do with others and not myself, unlike Ben. I've never read the graphic novels, but I hope in time that Ben grows and that things get better for him. I loved the scenes with him and Alice and the meta elements of the film.

[@TheAncientColossus]

​ @gforce1754 Unfortunately, we are the 1%, the minority, unnoticed, unpopular, and misunderstood. As predicated by the amount of likes and responses on this thread, let alone the video. There is gaining traction on awareness of a multitude of complexes, personas, etc., but this type of life in postulation is, I would dare say, the least understood and at the same time the most special. At the very least, my insight concludes that it is the most lonely type of life.

[@freddsims648]

There are drugs for that.

[@Mary_Lee2395]

I’m so upset! They clickbait me with Ronny chieng on their front cover on Netflix 😩 was honestly going to watch it because of Ronny only but sadly he barely had 30 seconds in it 😢 Movie overall 6/10. Just about some dude who’s unsupportive with his girlfriend and her career and tries to get laid by any white girl he socializes with. I fell asleep halfway through the movie cause it was boring me lol had to binge it the next morning 😂
