Review of Crazy Rich Asians (2018) by Jondoc — 21 Nov 2018

Underwhelming and bland romantic comedy. The filmmakers obsession - nay, veneration - of obscene wealth and weddings that cost $10million+ was just vulgar. Over-entitled, obnoxious rich kids acting like jerks was commonplace and seemed to be just acceptable.

The movie glamorised the unreal, and unattainable world of the richest 1%; with an unhealthy fixation on luxury products, glamorous locations and posh British accents. Having said all that the costumes, sets and production values were high and the actors were all fabulous looking, but it all felt empty and immoral.
