Crazy Rich Asians is about a American Chinese economic professor who was invited to her boyfriend's hometown Singapore for a friend's wedding. It is also an opportunity to meet Nick, the boyfriend's family. Rachel was born and raised by a single mom and Nick's family was not satisfy with Nick's choice of girlfriend. They are "crazy rich". The couple was tore apart. However, Rachel was able to change Nick's family's mind by her wisdom and charm. She was accepted and Nick proposed to her. I have to admit that rom com movies aren't my type of movie, but I do think this movie is watchable. As a Chinese, the cultural elements are pretty exciting for me to see on a big screen. And this movie totally meets viewers’ expectation where the boy and the girl fall in love with each other, and the mean mom refuse to accept them, but they eventually get back together, happy ending. And this is the reason I don’t watch rom com because under the cover, they are all the same. The boy is always a Mary Sue character who is charming, good-looking, muscular and rich. And the girl, not as rich as the boy, usually pretty poor, but she’s innocent and independent. “You are different than any other girls I’ve met” is the must have line. And to be honest, Crazy Rich Asians is exactly like this. However, rom coms are the ones that we should simply be having fun with it. So I did have a relaxing time. There are several beautiful scenes, such as the friend’s wedding. When the water came out from nowhere, it was really gorgeous. And it’s cool that it starts with Racheal playing a card game and kind of ends with her playing majiang. I try my best not to think too much, but there are still places that didn’t make sense. Nick, who has a perfect boyfriend setting, basically was not there when Rachel had all the problems. For example, when Rachel was going to the party, Nick should at least pick her up, or send a driver (I mean, he’s rich). And the girls, they actually did, they put a dead fish on Rachel’s bed. That is.......like........too much. Plus when Rachel tells Nick, he was like “was that it?” Hm... Rated: 5.2/10
