Review of Crazy Rich Asians (2018) by Joelmpa — 23 Nov 2018
Triter than the tritest sitcom, Crazy Rich Asians revels in adoring the material excesses of its super-rich subjects while pretending to mock them. The two leads can’t act, most of the other roles are silly caricatures - with the exception of Gemma Chan, who somehow conveys authenticity in a sea of contrivance.
The humor is few and far between. I have no idea why so many critics recommended this forgettable waste.
