About this movie

"Crazy Rich Asians” follows native New Yorker Rachel Chu (Constance Wu) as she accompanies her longtime boyfriend, Nick Young (Henry Golding), to his best friend’s wedding in Singapore. Excited about visiting Asia for the first time but nervous about meeting Nick’s family, Rachel is unprepared to learn that Nick has neglected to mention a few key details about his life. It turns out that he is not only the scion of one of the country’s wealthiest families but also one of its most sought-after bachelors. Being on Nick’s arm puts a target on Rachel’s back, with jealous socialites and, worse, Nick’s own disapproving mother (Michelle Yeoh) taking aim. And it soon becomes clear that while money can’t buy love, it can definitely complicate things.

Ratings and reviews

The comedians are funny. The rest is a bit of a tortured tale as old as time (traditional family pooh-poohs the American chase your dream girlfriend) and a bunch of pretty shallowly defined characters. Oh and the typical positive ending. One star though for the premise and the range of characters who weren't just caricatures. Would love to see a real drama though, but that's likely beyond Hollywood for some years ...

Too bad there's no option to leave negative or no stars. This movie is just shallow. The really rich folks in Southeast Asia don't behave like the shallow rich in Hollywood. Get a real Asian to direct an Asian movie with an Asian cast.

I bought this movie @ Wal-Mart Canada for $5.00. Loved the movie. The theme of the movie was about sacrifice and honor. It was not at all what i had expected? I loved the idea of asians from different parts of the world. It brought up a mixture of culture in the asian world. The five stars are for the laughter and the tears for the actors & actresses who gave me that. Just when you thought it was all over surprise! I really liked this movie. Please make second movie.
