AJ Benza and Neal Gumpel, the Real Guys Movie Review duo, wonder why director Kar Wai Wong strung us along and made "My Blueberry Nights." The one thing you always get from our Real Guys is the truth. Unfortunately, the truth feels wrong for Wong.
Created by and starring AJ Benza and Neal Gumpel.

Wong Kar Wai is one of the best director ever (my favourite one), but My blueberry nights is not as great as his other movies, don't know why, maybe because of the actors, or something else, but it's true

Asians do make great films. Great films aren't determined by our race, gender etc etc. Wong Kar Wai is a fucking amazing director. But the only part I agree with in this review was what Neil said about the movie being lost in translation cos Wong, I presume, doesn't have a strong enough hold of the English language and thus the dialogues do not feel genuine. But other than that, Wong Kar Wai makes amazing films and yes he is asian. So?

It's not a very good film, but not for any of the reasons stated here. These two have no idea what they're talking about, but neither do the defenders of the film. Wong Kar Wai has made some amazing movies, but this isn't one of them.

To ginaho: it's "Wong Kar Wai" not "Kar Wai Wong". In China the family name comes first.

She did not watch her ex have sex with another girl, get over it. You went into this movie with preconcieved notions because you don't like romantic pieces. And by romantic, I don't mean a love story. This movie was not a love story. It was a coming of age story.

Look, dickheads, 'My Blueberry Nights' was a beautiful piece of cinema.Norahwas a very convincing actress and WONG KAR-WAI(that's his name) did well in casting her. I couldn't tell she was acting; she was the character and that's the whole damn point of acting, to look like you're NOT acting. Also, the way that this movie was shot was beautiful, and the frames and the movement of the camera told a story along with the dialogue.

Can i call you benzaaj? Another question do you get paid doing this review? Thirdly do you consider yourself racist? But i guess this is your style of "tell it like it really is"
Lastly, if Norah Jones just had monkey sex with Jude Law is call PORNOGRAPHY....and not a movie.
Based on your opinion that a good movie requires an actress having monkey sex with the actor then I TOTALLY AGREE with you...ASIAN MAKES THE WORST PORNOGRAPHY!!!!!

Just curious...is there a "chick flick" that you guys genuinely like (hey AJ, I'm not asking if you like chicks!!)? It just seems like you automatically favour action films over dramas (unless the drama features an actress with a beautiful bod).

To AJ Benza: it's Kar Wai Wong, not Kar Wong Wai. This hurts my ears
