Critic Reviews for Fakin' Da Funk

All Critics (2) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (2)

Chey shows a keen ear for black English, a well-honed comic imagination, and an upbeat humanism; Zoltan David's camera work is outstanding, especially the bravura Steadicam opening shot.

While it's no great work of cinema, this movie about serious racial issues is a lot funnier than you might expect.
