Better Luck Tomorrow

A bunch of Asian kids create a gang that sells exams and drugs while they steal thing.

You get to know Ben, who is a kid doing his best in school and making sure everything that he does looks awesome on a transcript so he can get into college. He is trying to get on the school's basketball team, works a part-time fast food job where he is the employee of the month every month, learns a new word everyday so he can improve his SAT scores to perfect, and has a crush on Stephanie, the cheerleader at school.

He becomes friends with Stephanie even though she has a boyfriend (Harold from Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle). He is completely not threatened by Ben even though it is obvious to everyone how much of a crush he has on Stephanie, which Ben isn't sure what to think about. Ben is also friends with Virgil, a gangta wannabe kid. Both of them are on the decathalon in school and become friends with Daric, the senior leading the decathalon team and head of every academic club in school. From there, the scams and gang-like activity starts and things start to get interesting.

Even though, it sounds like I told you a lot, that is just the set up for the movie. A lot of stuff happens in this movie, but it is slow going at first. It finally picks up around the time all of these kids get to know each other more and cause havoc. Then things go very bad and then it ends really up in the air.

I really liked this movie. It built up slow but you became involved in what everyone was doing and it was really funny at times since it was all so messed up.
