K-POPS! is a mix of too many notes competing for your attention at once. Visually bland and uninspired, there are some laughs to be had, and the father-son angle mostly works thanks to Anderson .Paak’s sincerity both in front of and behind the camera. But the script is too…
Matt NegliaSep 7, 2024anderson .paak, the rose??, VERNON??, psick university??, JESSI??, speed??, SAWEETIE?? AND JAY PARK????? all in one movie was not on my 2024 bingo card
maisieFeb 24, 2026Happy to see Andy direct something with his son, happy to see Dumbfoundead in more movies, happy to see something this mainstream draw attention to how Kpop straight up wouldn’t exist without Black people. Solid debut! Let’s have a little less Saudi Arabia promo next time…

It’s a testament to .Paak’s own journey, and the seemingly healthy relationship with both this genre of music and his child, that this movie eschews so many of those struggle-bus tropes. I just wish it translated to something with a bit more oomph, rather than another blandly sincere family film.

Adorable is not an adjective I’ve often applied to a movie, but “K-Pops!” earns it. It will play well on the big screen, and make you forget about your troubles for two hours.

With energetic dance sequences and a heartwarming bond between a father and a son, K-Pops! is a bundle of joy that rarely misses a beat.
