Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
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.
There are so many comedians in this movie. I loved every minute of it! Great story line..
I rarely go see films of this nature and was so pleasantly surprised. The film was such an emotional rollercoaster with its own subtle twists and turns throwing Asian stereotypes on its head while explaining and examining others. This is what films should do...illuminate life, culture and experience.
Crazy rich asians was funny, cute, and a perfect romantic comedy.
