James Luxford
Constance Wu stars here as a working-class New Yorker who has to contend with tradition and expectation when she learns that her boyfriend (Henry Golding) belongs to one of Singapore's richest families. With a predominantly Asian cast, the film breaks boundaries for a Hollywood production. Moreover, it tells a vibrant, funny comedy of manners that offers a vicarious journey through a life of opulence. Filled to the brim with hilarious, charming characters, this very modern Cinderella story has an excellent villain in Michelle Yeoh, who plays Golding's disapproving mother. The star brings gravitas to the story and becomes the biggest hurdle in the way of the couple and their search for happiness.
Crazy Rich Asians
may occasionally get carried away in its celebration of all things romantic and expensive. However, it's a polished show stopper that offers all the glitz of a golden era Hollywood spectacle, while also shaking up the well-worn romcom blueprint.
Summary
When New York University professor Rachel Chu heads to Singapore with her boyfriend, Nick Young, she's surprised to learn he's from an extremely wealthy family. The problem is they aren't so approving of her, so she attempts to win them over. Blockbusting comedy based on Kevin Kwan's novel of the same name, starring Constance Wu and Henry Golding.
