	Review: Better Luck Tomorrow (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		He's even on the basketball team, albeit in the role of the "token Asian bench-warmer." Ben lacks a girlfriend, but that doesn't mean there isn't someone he wants to fill that role.
		She is Stephanie Vandergosh (Karin Anna Cheung), his biology lab partner.
		Ben is desperately infatuated with her, but he lacks the courage to tell her, and she is involved with a bad-boy named Steve (John Cho), who is, of course, cheating on her.

		Karin Anna Cheung and John Cho ride on the wild side in Justin Lin's "Better Luck Tomorrow."
		Ben starts to have doubts about where this is going, but his new bad-boy persona is intriguing Stephanie (Karin Anna Cheung), the beautiful straight-arrow lab partner he'd like to lure from her rich and handsome boyfriend Steve (John Cho of the "American Pie" movies).
		The script by Lin, Ernesto M. Foronda and Fabian Marquez - loosely inspired by the 1993 case of a California teen bludgeoned to death by his fellow Asian-Americans - veers toward melodrama and implausibility approaching the end.

		Ben obsessively studies even though he gets straight A's, takes part in a dizzying variety of school activities and community volunteer work, which he thinks will look good on his resume to colleges, and is even a member of the basketball team, even though he spends most of the season riding the pine.
		Ben also hopes being part of the team will help him win the heart of Stephanie Vandergosh (Karin Anna Cheung), a cute but equally obsessive girl who is on the cheerleading squad.
		Daric seizes the opportunity to propose that he and Ben go into business, creating and selling detailed cheat sheets for school tests and placement exams.

		They also enjoy cruising in their red Mustang, which is totally a southern California luxury thing for teens to do.
		Karin Anna Cheung plays the ideal pretty teen sweetheart Stephanie, the A student and cheerleader and the object of Ben's affection.
		But she is dating the wealthy and self-confident and arrogant Steve (John Cho), who is a ladies man attending the local private school so he mingles with a different social crowd and Stephanie is unaware of his deceptions.

		And they are, except that this particular group of Asian kids is also motivated to sell cheat sheets, drugs, and stolen electronic equipment.
		Ben (Parry Shen), the narrator and central figure in this suburban Orange County film, is the classic Asian grind who only dreams of losing his virginity to Stephanie (Karin Anna Cheung), who's the girlfriend of hotshot Steve (John Cho), who even has a motorcycle.
		Seduced by his friends into making some extra money with the cheat sheets he graduates into selling cocaine - and using a lot of it himself - while at the same time being part of the Academic Decathlon team that goes to Las Vegas to win the national title.

	Editorial
		Karin Anna Cheung and John Cho star in ãBetter Luck Tomorrow,ä a film about a group of Asian American high school kids who are catapulted into the dark world of crime.
		Woven into "Better Luck Tomorrow"'s plotline of teenage violence is the crush that Ben (Parry Shen, of TV shows "The King of Queens" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") has on cheerleader Stephanie (Karin Anna Cheung).
		But she is involved with a dubious but rich kid, Steve (John Cho, of "American Pie 2" and "American Beauty").

		Ben's cohorts are a scruffy bunch, including the smoothly political Daric (Roger Fan), the trigger-happy Virgil (Jason Tobin) and the laconic Han (Sung Kang).
		There's also the rich kid, Steve (John Cho), whose insouciant style and hard-ass manner, of course, manage to snare pretty cheerleader Stephanie (Karin Anna Cheung).
		Cheung's saucy, effervescent turn as the fetching cheerleader also rubs smartly against the grain of expectation.

	Better Luck Tomorrow - DVD Movie Central
		He has his eyes set on the very pretty Stephanie (Karin Anna Cheung), and his affections seem to only grow when they are assigned as lab partners in their biology class.
		Ben would consider asking her out in an instant, but she happens to be involved with Steve (John Cho).
		Blending in elements of coming-of-age drama, crime and violence, and most particularly social commentary, this is a pure movie knockout that is sure to get many viewers talking afterward.

		Ben has a crush on the pretty cheerleader Stephanie Vandergosh (Karin Anna Cheung), but she dates Steve (John Cho), who plays the inevitable older teenager with a motorcycle and an attitude.
		Virgil is unlucky with girls, but thinks he once spotted Stephanie in a porno film (unlikely, but gee, it kinda looks like her).
		Parry Shen gives a watchful and wary undertone to his all-American boy, and Karin Anna Cheung finds the right note to deal with a boy she likes but finds a little too-goody.

	OFFOFFOFF film review BETTER LUCK TOMORROW movie by Justin Lin with Parry Shen, Jason J. Tobin, Sung Kang, Roger Fan, ...
		Shown through the eyes of narrator and protagonist Ben Manibag (Parry Shen), the movie traces the lives of a loosely knit group of privileged Asian-American high school honor students in present-day Orange County.
		Along with their double lives, the movie shows Ben's fledgling quasi-romance with his cheerleader lab partner Stephanie Vandergosh, played by newcomer Karin Anna Cheung.
		Stephanie's morality is never fully defined — you almost expect her to be the sweet, moral voice of the film pulling Ben back from his descent into criminality.

	CinemaSpeak.Com - Better Luck Tomorrow
		Ben's quest to be the consummate overachiever doesn't wane at all, as his life becomes a nonstop job split between the diametrically opposed worlds of academia and recidivism.
		He even finds time to develop romantic feelings for classmate, Stephanie (Karin Anna Cheung), who is dating a mysterious boy from another local high school named Steve (American Pie's -- think MILF -- John Cho).
		But as Ben and crew seem to attain everything they want -- namely attention and respect -- their lives spin out of control and culminate with an act completely beyond the realm of anything they're equipped to handle.

		This scenario could have spun out of control eventually all upon its own, but of course you add a female to the mix, and things go downhill a whole lot faster.
		Stephanie Vandergosh (Karin Anna Cheung) is a classmate Ben has a rather thinly veiled crush on, but she has a boyfriend, Steve Choe (John Cho), who doesn't treat her very nicely.
		He is loosely associated with Ben's "gang," though, so it could take a little time before the inevitable occurs.

		Disturbing and enlightening, "Better Luck Tomorrow" is one of the few contemporary films guaranteed to make you think.

		Ben is surrounded with over the top delinquents and we somewhat initially feel good that Ben is untainted and quite more humane, even though he does participate in the group's crime-spree escapades.
		However, his obsession with Stephanie (Karin Ana Cheung) clouds his reasoning as he delves into his "gang" as a respite from his inability to win her love.
		Stephanie's boyfriend posed as a the conflicting character that finally rips apart our good old boy Ben as he is torn with being a good person, but hopelessly in love with Stephanie.

		It's an exhilarating rush of a movie, showcasing a segment of the population usually given short shrift onscreen: young Asian-Americans (now a pretty substantial portion of the California demographic).
		You care about the characters, most particularly about the protagonist Ben (Shen) and the comely cheerleader he loves (Karin Anna Cheung) -- and the plotline reaches a point where it hits a dead end -- implodes -- lights out, and goodnight Mrs.

		Lin's story (which starts with the discovery of a dead body and goes back to how it all began) is an episodic sprawl rather than a straightforward scenario.

	ToxicUniverse.com - Justin Lin - 2003 - Better Luck Tomorrow Movies Review
		Better Luck Tomorrow is curiously absent of authority figures — it's almost as if society equates these kids' intellectual achievements with emotional maturity and leaves the moral decision-making process up to them.
		Meanwhile, Lin builds a fairly traditional boy/girl flirtation between Ben and Stephanie (Karin Anna Cheung), an earnest cheerleader with her achievement plate as full as any of the guys'.
		The wildest Stephanie gets — possible porn movie appearance aside — is at the conclusion of the requisite romantic-bonding montage, when she Winona Ryders a CD (Music To Hump To) into her pocket and strolls casually out of the store.

		Karin Anna Cheung plays Ben's love interest, Stephanie; John Cho is her noxious, distant boyfriend, Steve, who offers the fearsome foursome a chance at a big score.
		Better Luck Tomorrow is a shocking and incendiary film, one that practically scorches the screen and, along with it, the expectations placed upon it by the Asian American film establishment and society at large.
		Better Luck Tomorrow (R; 98 min.), directed by Justin Lin, written by Lin, Ernesto M. Foronda and Fabian Marquez, photographed by Patrice Lucien Cochet and starring Parry Shen, John Cho, Sung Kang, Roger Fan and Karin Anna Cheung, opens Friday at Camera One in San Jose.

		He lusts just a little after a cheerleader named Stephanie Vandergosh (Karin Anna Cheung), but she's already taken, claimed by the rich, slightly older, and infinitely more cynical Steve (John Cho).
		When Ben sees that Steve's also "boning some white chick," he's almost driven to tell Stephanie, but no. Ben's too honorable, too shy, and too enamored of her to break the news.

		The key individuals in "Better Luck Tomorrow," writer/director Justin Lin's precocious, accomplished debut film, are privileged Asian-American high-schoolers living comfortably in a Southern California suburb.
		Lin's cast of young unknowns — Parry Shen, Jason Tobin, Sung Kang, Roger Fan and Karin Anna Cheung — leaves an indelible impression.
		You may root for Ben to do the right thing and triumph, but "Better Luck Tomorrow" is so acute and cliché-free that it will challenge your expectations.
