THE ONLY THING CRAZIER THAN LOVE IS FAMILY.
Nick Young (Henry Golding) takes his girlfriend Rachel (Constance Wu) to Singapore for the wedding of his best friend; little does Rachel realize that Nick is the scion of an unbelievably wealthy family. This adaptation of the popular novel became a sensation in its own right ā the first film made by a major Hollywood studio to feature an Asian cast since The Joy Luck Club (1993). It also became a huge box-office success. At heart, itās a very conventional romantic comedy, seducing its audience with luxury and glamorous locations. A charming cast helps, with Michelle Yeoh as an Angela Channing-type matriarch.
