So, at any point in the film, I’m ready for a burst into song — which doesn’t happen, and I feel like that’s a bit of a spoiler for anyone that might be wanting that sense of anxiety all throughout the film. Crazy Rich Asians is a very upbeat film with sinister moments which greatly assist one of the major themes in the film concerning appearances in the big picture from the minutiae.

Throughout the entirety of the film, I find myself focusing heavily on all of the food. I’m listening to the conversation at the table concerning Rachel Chu’s life up until that point, and I’m staring at the Lobster that no one is touching at the top of a towering plate of food. Obviously, food is a very important aspect of many, if not all, cultures. Crazy Rich Asians does implement food as a part of familial tradition and decorates the film with so much tasty looking food. If you’re really into different types of food, watching Crazy Rich Asians may assist your drive to seek more foods or feel like pleasurable-slow-torture (kind of like being in the shower and finding the right temperature for an itch though potentially making oneself susceptible to a burn from the hot water running once one finds full satisfaction from the itch being water-scratched — just me?).

Crazy Rich Asians really focuses on families, relationships, reputations, social status, and wealth. Wealth is a huge part of the conversation from the very beginning of the film. It’s in the title of the film. There’s no way to ignore that the film will be dealing with vast amounts of wealth all throughout. There’s even a point in the film when a few of the acting partners downplay actual love because of the reasons behind their relationships — long-term wealth. I think it’s awesome to be a great person and be wealthy. Rich doesn’t mean snob. On another note, relationships costs. Relationships have a greater chance of working when all parties of the relationship may afford time to ensure a functional relationship.

Yet — what is greater than wealth, at least seemingly so in the film, is one’s reputation and social status. There’s a very difficult acceptance process of anyone entering Nick’s family especially anyone without reputable status or substantial wealth from a business model which will allow for the family’s status and wealth to increase. Crazy Rich Asians doesn’t ever dismiss wealth as much as a message in the film seems to be saying: love persists over all… every so often (concerning wealthy familial dynamics).

There are so many different types of relationships set in the film that are sensible business wise but makes one wonder if any of the partners in the relationship ever just agree like the couple in Lady Chatterley’s Lover on allowing an alternate lover in their relationship. There’s a lot more to relationships than money — but, don’t sleep on cash though, it’s necessary. The film does use the core relationship driving the story to touch base on elements which make a good relationship beyond cash though such as early-good-honest-open communication, mutual respect, food, and fun.

Familial relationships are key to the film. Assumptious and controlling are not admirable characteristics to me at all. I didn’t like any bit of the conversation between the women talking about people changing going off to another country. Am I the only one noticing the broken psychology of these women thinking their sons will never like another woman besides them? There’s a very fine line in being a parent and being a selfish person. One’s life experiences and upbringing may really determine whether one is mentally fraught. Nurturing is not always in plain sight. As is clear in the film, as well as a big point of modern conversations concerning social media, the presentation is not always the reality of all happening when the cameras are off and not capturing.

Crazy Rich Asians is a decent film which really makes me think of life with a lot of money. Honestly, I’d eat a lot of Lobster. Also, I’d always have a dessert with dinner except on the weekends. I’d probably be married: to be honest, I’m probably not going to propose until after about thirty years of a strong friendship, maybe kids — I mean, what’s the rush? If a couple is in a relationship, they’re in it, right? Speaking of marriage, the final wedding in Crazy Rich Asians is really quaint. Shall I continue discussing facilities and properties? If you’re a great person with awesome unchanging intentions (only susceptible to changing to improve those awesome intentions — in the best ways possible), money is probably all the rest you need to assist in fulfilling the rest of your life.

This type of love story has been done a thousand times. Yet, it was still a fun romp, with a few laughs and, of course, a few happy tears. "Crazy Rich Asians" is something different, while being the same old thing, all at the same time.

The fact that there aren't more films like this is astounding. There were things about it that were clearly tourism marketing for Singapore. What was happily missing was any sense that they were commodifying contemporary East Asian culture. The romance of it all, is so needed right now. The love stories (bf/gf or mother/son) overshadow the glamour and movie magic. This movie is loaded with movie stars that deliver. I look forward to watching this movie in 10,15, 20 years.… Expand

Chu with a screenplay co-written by Adele Kim and Pete Chiarelli based on the novel by Kevin Kwan. This is the first all Asian film since ‘The Joy Luck Club” which was shown some 25 years ago. Hopefully, it will not be the last. This a universally appealing piece of film making where, by chance, the participants are of Asian descent but all of us, Asian and non –Asian alike, can identify with the problems, circumstances and situations that befall the main characters in the film. True, it has a formula-style boy/girl/family plot but, because of the fine acting, editing and directing, the audience is able to just sit back with ease and enjoy how the story unfolds. Also, for those who have never been to or seen Singapore, the film offers an opportunity to view this exotic place that, in some instances, makes Dubai look like a shanty town. I give the film an 8 and offer it as a very pleasant way to spend 2 hours watching characters engaged in a fun-filled romantic tale.… Expand

By this, I mean the ground rules are set, the characters acknowledge that they're not the center of the universe, and there's actually some relatable content.

Rachel Chu (played by Constance Wu) is a hard-working Chinese American, whose single mom put her through school and watched her daughter graduate with a PhD in Economics and then go on to become the youngest economics professor at NYU. This plot may also qualify as the Asian version of Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, because Rachel is unacceptably poor (that is to say, middle class) and inappropriate for the family of her intended, Nick Young (Henry Golding). He is the heir apparent to the multibillionaire real estate empire built by his Singaporian parents and grandparents. Rachel is blissfully unaware that Nick is the “Prince William of Singapore” (more like the Donald Trump, Jr. of Singapore) because in New York City, he acts normal and likes to play basketball at a sweaty, grimy YMCA. Due to return home to inherit his family’s dynasty, the prodigal son shocked his family the year before by deciding to spend another year in New York with Rachel. As the film opens, he tells Rachel over a deli platter followed by dessert that he wants her to come home with him and attend the wedding of a family member. It will also be an opportunity for Nick to unveil his new love to his family.

The most prodigious obstacle to the match is Nick’s mother, Eleanor (Michelle Yeoh) who is bound by tradition, culture, and family loyalty. Eleanor Young, now separated from her husband, is cold and arrogant. She is, like all the billionaires of Singapore, mired in the lifestyle of the outrageously rich and surrounded by senseless luxury. She is preoccupied with materialism and social status, notwithstanding that she started out in life as an Oxford law student. She has almost lost her soul in this insipid world; however, her love of family, country, and culture will prove to be her only deliverance.

The charm of the plot is the innocence of Rachel, who is down-to-earth, humorous, and spontaneous. Underneath her naive and fun-loving exterior, she is an intellectual Wonder Woman, who can, if provoked, sustain a game of wits based on lifelong discipline, direction, and academic training. Rachel has a hidden strength, and she has a secret weapon. She has a PhD, which she wields like a magic lasso. Billions of dollars cannot buy Rachel’s level of intellectuality. Hollywood has a long history of indicating intelligence in a woman by giving her a pair of glasses. Rachel doesn’t have glasses, but she has x-ray vision. She can see through the superficiality of ostentatious riches. A kind of Chinese Cinderella, at the end of the story, she is the only woman whose delicate foot fits into the glass slipper, and she is the true princess who will live happily ever after—in between publications, academic conferences, and teaching classes on game theory.… Expand

Would you like to see food made and served that might even have youWould you like to go to, or even better, have a ‘to die for’ wedding? Would you like to see a romance that is romantic and might even bring a tear or two to your eyes? Would you like to see food made and served that might even have you salivating even though you may not be familiar with all you are seeing? How about getting introduced to a new, hunky, movie leading man in his feature debut coupled up with a beautiful woman who has made a name in television? How about seeing luxury that you may never see even if you are part of the 1%? All this is offered, in the first Asian ensemble in a contemporary setting since 25 years ago, in “Crazy Rich Asians”! Oh yes, how about seeing a really wicked stepmother?

Constance Wu, who you may know as the mother in “Fresh off the Boat” on television, plays Rachel, a professor of economics and Henry Golden, her boyfriend, is a New York professor who tells her that his family is comfortable. He wants her to meet his family and he uses the fact that his best friend Chris Pang, who gives Golden some competition in the looks and charisma department, is marrying Sonoya Mizuno, with Pang wanting Golden to be his best man.

This is NOT a spoiler! What Henry calls comfortable is probably more than most of the audience’s wildest dreams and his family don’t hesitate to show off what they have. Hey, somebody doesn’t like the way they are being treated in a hotel just make a telephone call and buy the hotel!

“Crazy Rich Asians” is being sold as a romantic comedy but there isn’t much of the latter that hasn’t been seen before. There is the wild, best friend of the leading lady, played by Awkwafino, who is seen in almost every romantic comedy played by an all American cast just as we have the gay poor relative of the family but very close to all the women played by Nico Santos and let’s not forget the obnoxious family member, Jimmy O. Yang, who takes, or tries to take, over everything.

The romantic story between Wu and Golden is, more or less, another Cinderella as she was raised by a working-class single mother, Tan Kheng Hua, who ran to New York to get away from an abusive husband and he, of course, is the handsome Prince. His mother, Michelle Yeoh, who believes family comes first and that Wu is not right for her son or family. There is, in a way, a fairy grandmother, Lisa Lu, and forget the glass slipper as what you will see of opulence makes any kind of slipper needless.

The core of “Crazy Rich Asians” is the romance and it delivers beautifully while a secondary romance is unnecessary though, obviously, put in for a good reason. For a comedy, you won’t hear many laughs but that is mainly because very little of it is original.

“Crazy Rich Asians” is certainly worth seeing for the leads, many of the supporting players with Michelle Yeoh outstanding as one of the latter group. It is also a chance to see Singapore in its entire splendor not to mention how wealth is treated there as compared to the western world.

Oh yes, that movie 25 years ago was “The Joy Luck Club” and 25 years is too long a time between that and “Crazy Rich Asians”, hopefully, the next will be a lot sooner!… Expand

"Crazy Rich Asians" is a good rom-com movie about a NYU economics professor who goes to Singapore to meet her boyfriend's family, and- as the title suggests- they turn out to be extravagantly rich. Now the story doesn't put forward anything"Crazy Rich Asians" is a good rom-com movie about a NYU economics professor who goes to Singapore to meet her boyfriend's family, and- as the title suggests- they turn out to be extravagantly rich. Now the story doesn't put forward anything new or widely creative in the rom-com genre: our two main characters are in love, they are living it up, some ups and downs occur, come the climax and the eventual short-lived break-up, to the final sequence of apologies and confessions of true love. However, the whole project felt more about the style than about the story and the events: the esthetics in this film are astonishing, the picture and the representation of Singapore is just breath-taking, all building up to the esthetics-climax (rather than the events climax, once again), which is the absolutely magnificent wedding taking place in the second half. The performances from the whole cast are pretty good as well.
"Crazy Rich Asians" may not be the rom-com movie of the year, story-wise, but it is undoubtedly a timeless, stylish piece of eye-candy.… Expand

I was so surprised how much I liked this film. The casting is amazing. There are characters who normally I would think were overly corny, but Jon Chu somehow makes them work. From the opening of this film we are entertained as the Young family is turned away from a hotel due to their race even though they already have a reservation. Throughout this movie you never see the actual money being made but rather there is a male figure who seems to be always busy who provides it. To go along with that the sets in this movie are ridiculous. You really see the idea of an extremely extravagant lifestyle. Maybe part of the reason I like this movie is because I come from a wealthy family and am dating a girl like Rachel Chu comes from an immigrant family. Maybe its because I identify with Nick Young in his quest to get with someone out of his circle of what he has been living with. Whatever the reason is I am a big fan of this film.

The film has a lot of Asian cultures that fantasize about me. At first, I did not like it because I overact trailer pissed by South Asian but they might envies and respect with great admiration. I watch which is getting better with outstanding performance and more improvement. I had been to Singapore. The story had more fashions, in 20s JazzAge, story Goen With wind and Once up a Time. The actings in Crazy Rich Asian is great and fantastic with inappropriate and a bit embarrassed funny awkward joke. The background had beautiful cities and great decorative stylish clothes designers. The film has more royalty and inspired the show and film such as Vampire Diaries, Victorian era, and Empire and Black Panther. The film shows a great story since the Joy Luck Club and Great Gatsby and a little bit of Gone With Wind. There a little error which end credit of Nick's cousin Astrid dump her ex-boyfriend and find another guy by Harry Shum. However, it impressive two walks in front parallel. The Singaporean characters portray how American influence them to show more emotion and love and hugs and great support. First may win the best picture Originally, the people are the view that should they bring more diversity with South Asian, multiracialism and Eurasian. I guess I was wrong about the movie though they do make fun of Trump where scene Rachel Chu's best friend who had a bigger house inside the golden and luxurious colour background walls and stairs like Trump's mansion. Singapore typically more Elrond Council, The Originals Miklasen archetype like and Game of Throne's Taegrayn/Lannister/ Stark. Missing part is flashbacks need more scene next sequel including more diversities mixed of Asian and dads It is a great film ever that many Asian viewers enjoyed it and appreciate. Down part is Jamie Chung who criticize Golding but maybe added actresses next two years. Two more should Godfathers. Michelle Yeoh, Henry Golding, and Constance Wu are great actresses and actors. Michelle Yeoh is a legendary actress who had been Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon show had the great actress with more same personality but with deadpan snarker, great Ken Jeong omg great love found embarrassed, a little bit confused I forgot he has been in shows Dr. Ken and Fresh Off the Boat. Don't get Oscar Snubbed and hang on there for first. I felt entire Asian American stars did really great jobs in their roles. Best Movie of Glamorous I watched!!!… Expand

Crazy Rich Asians is a funny, impactful romantic comedy that highlights the power of the genre. Though its main goals are entertainment and comedy there is still a fulfilling exploration in the differences between wealth and middle class, eastern and western cultures, and the importance of family. It is a significant achievement in the push to diversify Hollywood. These characters and their culture is not a simple tokenization but holds merit and generates understanding. I would highly recommend going to see and support this film as soon as possible. It will also compliment take out and a nice date night in.… Expand

"Crazy Rich Asians" is subtle. But it turned out well, as the film goes on a tender, that anything or anyone should influence what you love. Featured for some performances.

It has so much going for it in a positive way. The cast chemistry is grand. Extra characters make sense with the background or position they are given so they don’t come off as well extra. No characters are super annoying and even if you don`t agree with me on that the person that annoys you won’t be in the film for most of it so its fine. Since it has a large supporting cast you can get lost quickly. I bet if you have read the book it will be a lot easier. I`ve heard that from people before. Really wish I had read the book before this movie.All in all, this film is fun but, suffers from many basic romantic problems. It is a great film to see with your significant other. There were numerous couples in my theater that seemed like they were having a good time together. Henry and Constance do have spectacular chemistry together that is fun to watch unfold.… Expand

I thought this movie was very good. I do love romance movies, they also talk a lot about the culture and show the ways how they honor the chinese culture. It was a good movie for many reasons it made people laugh and cry during the movie. AllI thought this movie was very good.

Entertaining, but nothing new in the plot, so a little disappointed after all the hoopla. Generally good acting.

Is leaning into stereotypes for humor okay if it's done by members of that ethnic group or is that having one's cake and eating it too?

Despite it's very cliché ending and it's unoriginality, Crazy Rich Asians still manages to be a fun, entertaining romantic comedy. Supported by good acting performances, a great soundtrack and gorgeous cinematography, you will probably enjoy it.
