Review of Ktown Cowboys (2015) by Teela M — 13 Apr 2016

Came across this movie purely by randomness thanks to a FB suggestion of a live feed the guys were having. Not knowing any of the background of the webseries that led to the movie I watched this movie going in with zero expectations.

I must say I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed the movie, enough that I watched it twice within 24 hours of the rental. Overall the jokes were funny, the Korean cultural explanations mixed in were pretty cool, and the eye candy (Daniel Dae Kim *sigh* And Peter shirtless yum!) made for a pretty good movie.

The movie definitely gives the vibe of getting a peek into the male brotherhood and the dynamics of their friendship which I enjoyed. A few of the serious scenes still felt like they were missing something that didn't quite drum up the feelings they should have and some of the characters felt a little underdeveloped(maybe that was in the webseries) but those things weren't enough to take away from the movie's greatness.

I'm glad to see a movie like this out there and hope there's a lot more to come and more mainstream.
