Crazy Rich Asians is based off of the novel and stars Henry Golding as Nick Young the son of a wealthy real estate owner in Singapore who decides to take his girlfriend Rachel (Constance Wu) home for his friends wedding but that also involves meeting the family and his mother (Michelle Yeoh) which won’t be easy but Nick is sure he’s found the one and is determined to win the family over to her while also acting as Best Man at his friends wedding.
Crazy Rich Asians was okay but very much a traditional rom com, first off Singapore and the surrounding islands look great the city is very bright and colourful at night and the islands during the daytime look very calm and relaxing and it will make you want to go there plus it is such a pleasure to see Michelle Yeoh again in a film as not only does she pull of the contempt look well but has the Martial Arts skills to back it up and Ms Yeoh was indeed a major Martial Arts star in Asia in the past and well I’ve liked her since Tomorrow Never Dies as a kid so there’s that.
Also really good is Ms Akwafina who is far funnier here than she was in Oceans 8 where it felt like she had very little to do apart from some card tricks here she pretty much steals the show and gets the best laughs while Mr Golding and Ms Wu have some nice chemistry together as the young lovers trying to navigate their relationship against the traditions of the East where much like the Big Sick last year the parents grow up in a traditional environment while their children are more exposed to the culture and ideals of the West in their travels and the 2 at times clash with each other.
And so that was Crazy Rich Asians and it’s a fun rom com that I enjoyed watching, 3 out of 5.
