Review of Crazy Rich Asians (2018) by Schlecker — 07 Sep 2018

I went to this film not thinking much. The title was a bit of a turn off for me. 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. Everything really goes right for this movie.

I really am impressed.
