Review of Crazy Rich Asians (2018) by Swelleanor — 02 Jan 2019

I bumped my rating up because I am glad that a film with an Asian cast has done so well. I also am a fan of Constance Wu and Awkwafina. This movie, however, made me angry. Not sure why it's called a rom-com when it is neither romantic nor funny.

We never got any hint at why the central couple was so meant to be together, except presumably the simple fact that they are both attractive. The movie is visually stunning, for sure, but at the end of the day it just felt like a movie about how great it is to be filthy stinking rich.

Not worth my hard earned money, that's for sure.
