US romantic comedy drama in which a woman finds herself plunged into an unfamiliar world when she goes to meet her boyfriend's super rich family.
It’s way over the top in its style, which is a good thing, but grounded with realistic, loveable characters. This is a romcom milestone and the best thing to happen to the genre in years. It’s crazy good.
It’s not an evenly complex portrait of wealth – dazzling, resplendent, and only sickeningly indulgent for a moment – but it’s a film winningly possessed with heart: for it’s as much a romance as it is an ode to moms.
Crazy Rich Asians is so chock-full of local razzle dazzle that it never feels in thrall to those it emulates.
We’re still on a high from Jon M Chu’s swoon-inducing gem of a film.
Just as much fun as all the advance hype has suggested.
In Jon M Chu’s spectacular comedy, a Chinese-American academic discovers her boyfriend belongs to a fabulously wealthy dynasty.
This is a heartfelt piece of storytelling that ticks every box of a romantic comedy and entertains from beginning to end.
Crazy Rich Asians is no racial triumph. It's a soulless salute to the 1%.
