Review by brat pitt ★★★½ 19

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!!! and PLEASE watch "Fresh Off the Boat"!

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 24

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 Bucky ★★★★★

watched this film with my girlfriend one night. wasn't expecting it to make me feel so warm and gooey on the inside. funny, lighthearted, romantic and just a feel good time.

Review by emily ★★★★

Review by kealyallen ★★½

I kind of had a few good laughs. It wasn’t all that bad, but I really dislike rom-coms.. this one wasn’t horrible.
Review by Rvelc21 ★★

Incredibly disapppointing. Nothing more than a stereotypical rom com hidden behind a self-granted sense of “originality”
Review by Michelle Parsons ★★★½

Visually stunning, decent acting, ok story.
Review by Matthew Donahue ★★★

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

Maybe I’m anti-romantic, but after the showdown between the main character and the evil stepmother, in my heart of hearts, I hoped she’d leave that garbage rich Asian family and find a guy who would actually talk to her and guide her through the ins and outs of his particular family dynamic.

Awkwafina is an oasis.
Review by Matheus M. ★★★½

Quem me conhece sabe que eu sou realmente apaixonado pela Ásia, logo não pude perder a oportunidade de assistir a Crazy Rich Asians (que os tradutores brasileiros me perdoem).
A história de Nick (Henry Golding) e Rachel Chu (Constance Wu) começa de maneira casual, ou seja, nada de extravagâncias, fogos de artifício e muito menos cabelo em coque na Starbucks. Ambos se conheceram por conta do trabalho de Rachel (ela leciona economia, se não me falha a memória) e Nick apaixona-se quando a vê, afinal, quem não se sente atraído por alguém extremamemte inteligente? É excitante, pessoal.
Mas tudo muda quando ele resolve levá-la ao casamento de um dos seus melhores amigos em sua terra natal, Singapura.
Daí pra frente,…
