Summary

Romantic comedy starring Constance Wu, Henry Golding and Michelle Yeoh. New Yorker Rachel Chu travels to Singapore with her partner, Nick, for a friend's wedding, and discovers that Nick's family is hugely wealthy. They also expect him to remain in Singapore to inherit their hotel business - a plan that, as Nick's imperious mother Eleanor makes quite clear, does not involve Rachel.

Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Victoria 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.
