SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

People are voting emotionally.

not horrible nor great

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Saved by it's supporting cast and a good antagonist, this movie falls flat in all the important spaces.Pros: Awkwafina, Family Members, Showcasing of Asian TraditionsCons: Plot, Weak Protagonists, Predictable, Plays it too safe, Jokes are flat.Without spoiling. As a rom-com it checks some boxes but the script holds it back tenfold. With a moderately paced Act 1 we start to get to the good stuff helmed by creative family intros. You would think the movie will pick up from there and showcase the family and how they relate to the plot itself. But that never happens, a lot of things don't happen in this movie as it plays too safe for anything interesting to happen. The climax was at least 1hr and some change into the movie.. What does that cause? A quickfix resolution, as we see the movie rush to wrap things up and backpedals so fast. But overall the shots and costumes, sets, etc.. were top notch. But so much wasted potential as the supporting cast couldn't get their proper shine.

I am so happy that the movie has sparked a lot of dialogue and attention on representation, which on its own is already a great outcome to this movement. One movie can never represent and show all aspects of any culture, especially when "Asian" encompasses such a plethora of diverse cultures. It is just ironic that a light comedy is carrying THIS MUCH weight. This is a story about a girl being thrown into a world she's never dreamt of associating, how she struggles to fight for what she stands for against all odds and about the power of love, through hilarious and sometimes not so hilarious encounters. To me it's Cinderella meets David & Goliath in Sex in the City...I'd recommend it even if this were any other Hollywood movie because the characters are so intriguing and each had an interesting arc, there are so many hilarious moments throughout, the fashion is gorgeous and lots of the actors are too, the sets are stunning! with a wedding to die for (beyond my wildest imaginations)!, and some of the best of Singapore ie the STREET FOOD!! Of course the romance! and more! Watch it not coz it's Asian, though the Asian-ess made it unique and added flavour for sure. I just think this adaptation is brilliant. I recommend it also because I'm biased. (Not about to hide that.) If you keep seeing a repeated image or same story being told, you'll be brainwashed to think they are just like that, nothing more. Proper representation is so critical to eliminate marginalization and to create role models for the next generations to follow. The fact that you get a glimpse into how many kinds of Asians (granted this is predominantly Chinese) there are from around the world, and how differently they behave and speak is pretty fun. But back to supporting #crazyrichasians, it is important because by proving to Hollywood that there is much wider audience interested in stories of people of color, people of the minority, it will open doors to more diverse content, and a better reflection of the real world we live in. If we genuinely believe in diversity and inclusion, now is the time to walk the talk. There's not been many good rom coms in recent years, and the last one that sold well apparently was Train Wreck, although a recent one I liked was the Big Sick. Just go for a fun ride and escape into a world of fantasy for 2 hours. I think we all need it these days.

There are so many comedians in this movie. I loved every minute of it! Great story line..

I saw "Crazy Rich Asians", starring Constance Wu-Fresh Off the Boat_tv, Eastsiders_tv; Henry Golding-This is his first movie but he was on the Bachelorette_tv this year; Michelle Yeoh-Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, The Mummy:Tomb of the Emperor and Awkwafina-Ocean's Eight, Neighbors 2:Sorority Rising. This is a better than average rom-com that is based on a book-of the same name-by Kevin Kwan. It is also part of a trilogy, the other two books are called 'China Rich Girlfriend' and 'Rich People Problems'. This is the first western produced film with an exclusively all Asian cast in about 25 years-the last one was 'The Joy Luck Club' if I'm not mistaken. Constance plays a New York teacher that is dating Henry. When Henry gets an invite to a friend's wedding in Singapore, he decides it's time Constance met his family so he invites her along. Awkwafina plays Constance's long time friend that tags along, too, and she is hilarious. When they arrive is when Constance first finds out that he is from a very wealthy family. Michelle plays Henry's stuck-in-tradition mother that does not approve of his choice of girls-she is half American and not a true blooded Chinese girl. There are some cameos of Asian actors that you might recognize. I remember seeing Ken Jeong from the Hangover movies and Ronny Chieng from the Daily Show. There are some music covers, some sung in Chinese. If you like rom-coms, you should enjoy this one. It's rated "PG-13" for suggestive material and language and has a running time of 2 hours. I would probably buy it on DVD.
