Mr. Go (2013) - Does it hold up?

Mr. Go is a 2013 South Korean sports comedy movie. Unless you’re a regular purveyor of Korean movies, you will recognize no names here. There aren’t even any big-name commonalities between this film and arguably South Korea’s biggest international hit of all time, Parasite; the two films share a handful of make-up and special effects artists, only. It does have a claim to fame as the first Korean movie shot fully in 3D. Other than that, it’s a reasonably unremarkable film that wasn’t even released outside of South Korea and China. In the US, the rule of thumb is that a movie’s advertising budget is equal to its reported creation budget, which means a US film has to make double what it’s reported to cost to break even.
