Crazy Rich Asians

Crazy Rich Asians is a romantic comedy based on the book of the same name. It follows Rachel Chu, played by Constance Wu, a NYU professor, and her boyfriend Nick Young, played by Henry Golding. When Nick asks Rachel to go with him to his friend’s wedding in Singapore she agrees right away. Not knowing that Nick is the heir to a famous Chinese dynasty and that some of his family members are not too keen to meet her.

I really enjoyed everything about this movie. I thought that the plot was really entertaining and relatable, the script was well written, it pulled at the heart strings, and at times was quite funny. I thought that the cinematography was stunning; it was the perfect promotion to encourage visitors to Singapore. The showcasing of Chinese culture throughout the film was also very fascinating. It was beautiful to see the traditions in a natural, non-stereotypical way, on a national stage. Additionally the character development was strong and the acting from the diverse all Asian cast was really great.

This is a movie that I would definitely see again and I hope that they make more of in the future. If you are looking for a beautifully filmed, super cute and fun chick flick I would recommend checking this one out.
