Review by brat pitt ★★★½ 21

Watching rom-coms as a lovesick Korean-American teen, I internalized a gnawing fear that no one could fall for me because I didn’t look like those blonde, wide-eyed women leads. If Crazy Rich Asians had existed, perhaps I would have recognized my black hair as ebony rather than coal, my almond-shaped eyes as marquise-cut gemstones rather than bitter pills.

The above is a thing I wrote for a recent Bustle piece about what this film means to me. The below is an expansion of this idea.

I spent over 20 years of my life hiding the Korean half of me, emphasizing my Italian half instead. In middle school, I checked “white” on forms and insisted that my hair was brown not…

the last three scenes in this movie make for as satisfying an ending as i've ever seen in a romantic comedy, thanks to some very clever (and concise) writing and the inarguable fact that Michelle Yeoh is an ab-so-lute LEGEND in her own time.

I'm editing my initial review, because I honestly wrote a lazy joke here as a placeholder and I don't like that it's become my most popular review on this site. I don't want to write a joke here; this film is monumentally good. all I'll say is this: CONSTANCE WU DESERVES THIS!!!

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

When Astrid told her scumbag husband "it's not my job to make you feel like a man. I can't make you something you will never be." I FELT THAT

Review by Demi Adejuyigbe ★★½ 20

i legitimately love how many things in this movie were so unapologetically Asian (and for Asian people) that they did not care to take time and explain them for general (read: white, american) audiences.

the acting is rote, the comedy doesn’t land for me, the characters’ actions and conflicts are all handled so strangely, and i do not think jon m. chu is a very good director– but if only for the wedding scene, i hope the production designer for this movie gets the courtesy Oscar nom that is usually reserved for some boring ass period piece where all the dresses have seventy angles

Review by Reanne ★★★

Editing in some spots was great and felt fresh. Aqwafina (sp?) was fun. Side story with the cheating was kind of stupid, felt thrown in and didn’t care. It is what it is. A shallow fun flick, different and the same as all the others.
Review by debacordeiro ★★★★

QUE HIT! amei demais meu Deus! que coisa revigorante assistir uma comédia romântica assim... têm todos os clichês do gênero, mas sei lá, é algo diferente vc ver isso com outros personagens, lugares e culturas. muito bom!

“It’s not my job to make you feel like a man. I can’t make you into something you’re not.” EPIC LINE HOLY SHIT! The wedding ceremony scene is truly unforgettable.

Review by normansam ★★½ 2

Edit : Sorry for the politics, yes this film was extremely popular and was recieved well, so it still gets the same criticisms.

The film is basically a massive metaphor for why wealth should be spread out and why I fucking want to be a massive communist even more. Makes me realise how vital someone like JC should be PM. Watch this film and tell me why we need to tax the rich even more whilst famines and austerity is the world. Lets make a movie showing how unfair the world is,,,, whilst making 240 million dollars at the box office,,,,
