Om denne film

I ”Crazy Rich Asians” følger vi New Yorkeren Rachel Chu (Constance Wu), når hun sammen med sin kæreste Nick Young (Henry Golding) rejser til hans bedste vens bryllup i Singapore. Hun er spændt på at besøge Asien for første gang, men samtidig nervøs fordi hun skal møde Nicks famile. Rachel er ikke forberedt på at finde ud af, at Nick har undladt at fortælle hende nogle væsentlige detaljer om sit liv. Det viser sig at ikke alene er han en ætling af en meget velhavende familie, men han er også en af de mest eftertragtede ungkarle. Idet hun befinder sig ved Nicks side, oplever hun også jalousi blandt hans omgangskreds og ikke mindst misbilligelse fra hans mor (Michelle Yeoh), som forsøger at forpurre forholdet. Det bliver snart tydeligt at penge kan ikke købe kærlighed men de kan gøre tingene meget kompliceret.

I notice tons of 5 star and 1 star reviews so I'm going to be different and say 2 and a half stars. The script was for the most part what I'd call "trite", plus overall it wasn't that funny. However there was good acting by Michelle Yeoh, Constance and Awkwafina. Too much overacting by the girl who played Araminta. The only time I laughed out loud was when Awkwafina told Rachel that Eleanor would probably offer $omething in exchange for willfully disappearing.

I enjoyed the whole movie but my favorite person is 'Ashley even with all the money the family had she wasn't a snob like everyone else. The wedding entrance for the bride gets to me every single time I watch it.

Bad writing, bad acting, and the only POC were ALL SERVANTS. It's the quintessential "American in a foreign land" film, but with a modern twist. Still, it's deeply patriarchal and racist.
