Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Kahlil Herring 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.

seasickdarwin Growing up asian, I have always had to stretch my imagination in trying to associate with lead characters. In this movie, it just felt so good to dream big. For people who are dissapointed, it is more than fine. Most people have a sea of American Cinema to swim in, but for Asian-Americans it is a proverbial desert. How this movie differs from other films surrounding Asians like Joy Luck Club, is that this is a fun movie with romantic and heartfelt leads that just happen to be Asian. And that's the point!!! For the first time in American Cinema, we don't have to associate with people who look completely different. This is a movie you can walk out of feeling proud and being excited about how others who are not Asian may see you. I imagine this is how many Italian-Americans felt after seeing Rocky for the first time. It may seem similar to so many rom-coms but it is important to share with other readers that this movie means so very much to me. The acting was wonderful, the dialogue was funny and sincere, and while the film is less about Chinese/Singaporian culture (see Joy Luck Club), it portrays Asians in a playful, sexy, and humorous way. This is not the Asian Black Panther, but I get the comparison. While Black Panther is a movie that so many kids need to diversify their ideas of what a hero looks like; Crazy Rich Asians is a movie that asians can take a date of any persuasion and feel good about.I am giving this movie exactly the number of stars it deserves. Rating this movie within the world of romantic comedies makes this movie a 10. It's value to many minorities out there is priceless.

twilightgirl-15961 Crazy rich asians was funny, cute, and a perfect romantic comedy.

stuartkuramoto A fun, delightful time at the movies with some hilarious turns by comedy veterans Ken Jeong and Awkwafina, and heartfelt performances by everyone. The standout is Constance Wu from "Fresh Off the Boat", great to see her in a different role. Highly recommended!
