"Crazy Rich Asians"

the books have a huge following, and it's the first major movie since The Joy Luck Club with an all Asian cast. there is big pent up demand for more representation of Asian folk on the screen, similar to Black Panther. watch and see it haul in the money if it's any good.

That looks good. If I can sit through a Sex and a City movie then I can do this one with a beautiful cast.

No Bai Ling? No see.

I'm looking forward to it. It looks like a trashy Tyler Perry movie which is right up my alley.

[quote] it's the first major movie since The Joy Luck Club with an all Asian cast

That's the problem.

Huge opportunity to showcase something good, and they squander it on this movie?? It looks like crap.

Synopsis:

[quote] Rachel Chu is happy to accompany her longtime boyfriend, Nick, to his best friend's wedding in Singapore. She's also surprised to learn that Nick's family is extremely wealthy and he's considered one of the country's most eligible bachelors. Thrust into the spotlight, Rachel must now contend with jealous socialites, quirky relatives and something far, far worse -- Nick's disapproving mother.

So many damned cliches in this movie, I just can't even.

Doesn't anyone have any new and fresh ideas that don't portray asians as one-dimensional, including the obligatory "Tiger Mom?"

I mean, please.

The ending should be so suspenseful! I wonder if they get together at the end! /s

Isn't that woman who stars in Fresh off the Boat sort of a loose cannon on Twitter? She caused some controversies but I forget what.

Gemma Chan from Humans is in this movie.

I found that surprising. I thought that she chose better projects than this.

OP, why is this out of touch? It actually is very in line with what people want in 2018. I think you're the one who's out of touch.

Was Hong Chau unavailable? She is not getting much work after her Golden Globe nomination.

Trashy Westernized Asians would be a more apt title. Will probably be banned in China.

Singaporeans are Westernized Asians.

Once upon a time, Singapore was majority Malays. Now it is overwhelmingly Han Chinese.

It could be interesting--the book and its sequel have sold incredibly well, so there's a real market for it.

I'm not happy Ken Jeung is in it, but Michelle Yeoh could be great.

I actually saw it. It was pretty fun.

I think I’ll save my money and go see the shark movie with hot baldie Jason stathum. But maybe I’ll eat crazy rich Asian food after.

Because Asian Americans are supposed to relate to this like the African American community did for Black Panther?

Please... I'll wait for Mulan

Not wasting my money, gonna wait for cable

Who the fuck wants to spend money to see movie about the most loathsome people on this planet?

I'm going to see it for the hot Asian men!

Please. Singapore was always majority Chinese. That's why "Malaya" split into two countries after independence. Each section wanted their ethnic majority to prevail.

Once again the Asian mother character has to be fearsome and rigid.

I am dying to see a movie where there's an Asian or Asian-American mother figure who just doesn't give two fucks. "Do whatever you like--it's perfectly fine with me! Whatever!"

You make-a-me happy!

Henry Golding is lovely to look at.

The book starts with a EST worthy set up of racist profiling and refusal of service at a London ultra luxury hotel. As if.

R19 ah the racists come out

Note how they all have white-face.

I think they should make a movie where some of the characters undergo Korean radical facial reconstruction. Kind of like that Stockard Channing flick The Girl Most Likely To. It could be. thriller or a black comedy.

R27, you don't know many Asians, do you?

R28, they have that.

What is the name of such a movie R30?

I do, actually and they picked the most square faced non-typical Chinese looking guy for the lead. The chick also looks half.

Until she's in her dress, anyway.

But at least theres an Asian cast for once.

Singapore was created by the British. It's always been Western.

OP likes to weep salty white tears and feels afraid when he sees "those people" using their own wealth as they see fit.

I've always like the double entendre of the title that connotes both Asians who are crazy rich and rich Asians who are also crazy.

The books are very successful. It makes sense they would adapt them for a movie - Fifty Shades of Stupid, anyone?

Excuse me, I went to college with many Asians, foreign and American, all their mothers are like “ tiger moms”. The Japanese moms were the coolest, the Chinese moms would criticize their kids in public. They even “interviewed” me to see if I was a worthy friend or roommate etc.

[quote]Excuse me, I went to college with many Asians, foreign and American, all their mothers are like “ tiger moms”. The Japanese moms were the coolest, the Chinese moms would criticize their kids in public. They even “interviewed” me to see if I was a worthy friend or roommate etc.

Clearly r38 is just a bitter racist who didn't make the cut for worthy for either friend or roommate - and lord only knows what the "etc." is.

The novels are very very popular (and i heard good things about them) so it's obvious there will be movies about them

80% of the book is the name-dropping and mindless consumption of luxury goods and Singaporean/Malay street food. I wonder how that translates to the screen. In terms of the content, this will have all the character development and plot lines of SATC2. The second book where Rachel looks for her mysterious wealthy father from Mainland China would make more interesting viewing (think Chinese "Lace"!)

R41: Well, it worked for American Psycho

Getting great reviews so far - 100% per RT. Granted < 20 critics but most are major publications.

I saw it at a preview screening last week -- it had kind of a made-for-TV vibe about it and, for me, the biggest problem was its lead, Constance Wu.

She reminded me of Jennifer Aniston: fine on a TV sitcom (bubbly, perky, etc.), but without gravitas or a strong enough big-screen presence to carry a feature on her shoulders. She was outacted by Michelle Yeoh and Gemma Chan in every scene they shared.

As his name suggests, the very lovely and fragrant Henry Golding isn't "Asian-Asian."

Things I'd rather do than watch this movie:

Walk on broken glass.

Eat a jar of ghost peppers.

Take a 20 hour flight to Singapore.

Drink my own urine.

I am interested in the movie and will go out and support it in the theaters. The creators turned down big money from Netflix to bring it to cinemas.

R47 It would have been better on Netflix... the story has so many subplots (some way more interesting the the main plot). A film just doesn't do justice for this type of convoluted soap opera story.

Henry Golding makes me hungry again 30 minutes later.

Fan Tan Fannie has found a new guy!

His name is Manny.

He's GOOD for Fannie.

So goodbye, Fannie,

Goodbye!

The books are summer reading fun and obviously tailor-made for movie/tv adaption. My expectation is that the movie can live up to that breezy fun standard. It's hard to judge by the trailer I have seen. I'm wary of the change in the Goh Peik Lin character, Rachel's best friend. In the book, she's Singaporean who studied in America and helps Rachel out with her insider Singaporean knowledge. I associate her character with the Singlish accent and patois. In the trailer, it's clear Ackwafina is doing her Queens schtick. Maybe it'll be great but I wish they had kept the character Singapore-based.

And they couldn't find a hot Asian ACTOR to play Nick Young? Come on. Maybe Golding will be great, but they gave the lead role to a guy who's never acted before. I know the flack has been that's he mixed race but my chief concern is that he can't act.

I just feel bad for Michelle Yeoh.

I didn't realise Golding was a hairdresser turned TV host. Wasn't impressed with him in the trailer, and he's ethnic Malay. That's going to create a lot of mixed feelings about this movie from Singaporeans.

[quote]She reminded me of Jennifer Aniston: fine on a TV sitcom (bubbly, perky, etc.)

Constance Wu is anything BUT bubbly and perky on her sitcom.

I wasn't a big fan of Fresh off the Boat, but I thought Wu was the best thing on it. Would be disappointing if she isn't as good in the movie.

R53, not just Malay, but Iban too!

The title should have been "Crazy Boring Stereotypes."

Does Gemma Chan have a big role? I really like her.

[quote] The ending should be so suspenseful! I wonder if they get together at the end!

If it's like the book, it will end in a gory bloodbath.

I hear Casey Affleck will be in the cast as Constance Wu's other love interest!

[quote]Does Gemma Chan have a big role? I really like her.

Not really, which was disappointing. I, too, really enjoy her work.

Just go to Asia and you will see that they all bleach their skin, and they even put on foundation that is several shades lighter.

So sad they hate themselves

R62 = Beyonce

r62 isn't it ironic that Asians are so enamored with whitening their skin while white Americans spend so much trying to tan?

[quote]Henry Golding is lovely to look at.

He’s considered the most good looking Asian man of all time.

Yes r36, as if the elite Chinese haven't made their wealth from slave labor ...

Henry pings.

Boring movie with boring trailer. Pc crap movie with stereotypical dialogue and settings about rich asians in asia. It is quiet an accomplishment when minorities start making mediocre movies.

[quote] isn't it ironic that Asians are so enamored with whitening their skin while white Americans spend so much trying to tan?

It would be if this were still the 1980s when Americans were still obsessively getting tans. Since then we've learned about skin cancer and the sun's effect on aging skin.

R62, R64, Asians are "enamored" of whitening their skin because it is a mark of their social standing. Lighter skin Asians are usually upper class, darker skin are the labor force. Middle class Asians obviously don't want to be associated with labor, so they use bleaching creams to emulate the upper classes. This isn't exclusively an Asian thing. You'll find it in black and Latino communities.

[quote]He’s considered the most good looking Asian man of all time.

Please. There are plenty of GL Asian men.

R64 The pale skin Chinese women want is not exactly like what white people have. And they would be horrified by the freckles that some pale white people get.

To be fair, the pale skin thing has nothing to do with wanting to look Caucasian. See r70.

[quote][R64] The pale skin Chinese women want is not exactly like what white people have. And they would be horrified by the freckles that some pale white people get.

Well, if you had spent all winter rubbing buttermilk on someone's skin to lighten it, you'd be horrified at their being out in the sun and getting freckles, too.

R72 Actually, I think the desire for paleness evolved from an obsession about women being kept away from the outside world like the obedient daughter/dutiful wife that Confucian tradition idealizes.

There's a Filipino in the cast. Kris Aquino is the daughter of former Philippine President Cory Aquino, whose husband's killing in the 1970s led to the People Power revolution that ousted Marcos.

[quote]He’s considered the most good looking Asian man of all time.

Russell Wong in his prime could've given him a run for his money.

I’d it greenlighted or greenlit?

[quote]He’s considered the most good looking Asian man of all time.

He doesn't even usually make the top 10 - even if we exclude Indians, like Hrithik Roshan, and other half-Asians like Ian Anthony Dale, Scott Neslage, or Hideo Muraoka.

He is very goodlooking nonetheless, but not deserving of the hyperbole.

R78, or Keanu Reeves in his prime.

The pale skin that Asians want is smooth and luminous, with a pink hue underneath the light tone. It is what older writing termed as fair complexion. This is definitely not what the average white people have, which is pasty and marred with freckles and spots.

I want to see it. It looks good to me.

I love to look at good looking Asian men and I believe this move has them.

This movie sucks ass.

I don't know who the demographic would be for this dog crap.

teen girls and fraus.

[quote] He’s considered the most good looking Asian man of all time.

By whom, honey?

You?

R83 Women, of course! It's partly a fairy tale story. Rachel finds out her fiancee is heir to some big Singaporean fortune with (kind of) evil rich in-laws ready to sabotage her happiness. Even though Rachel isn't white... she's a banana with all the generic American mannerism and attitude that non-Asian western audience can identify with.

R70 is correct. It has to do with social class. It has NOTHING to do with wanting to be white. Ugh.

But the question is: Why is "lighter" skin associated with wealth and a higher social standing?

Because the wealthy don't/didn't have to work outside in the sun, r88

R88, read previous posts! If you labored out in the fields, you would be tanned. If you're pampered and living the life of luxury, you're not outside in the sun. And there's also vanity. Sun=tan=wrinkles and sunspots on face.

R89 That's mostly a Chinese attitude... for other Asians, it could be linked to colonization by Europeans.

My bad, I didn't read through the whole thread. That does make sense. Apologies.

Really, r91? These attitudes existed long before the Europeans showed up.

China during the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD), had very strict beauty standards for women. The ideal woman had large, expressive eyes; small, red lips; pale skin; lustrous black hair that is to be loosely coiled above the head to give the appearance of extra height; finely shaped eyebrows; graceful fingers and arms; slender waist; tiny feet and a light elegant gait; soft, high pitched voice; and a fragrant body. These notions of feminine beauty spread throughout the Sinosphere (China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Vietnam), influencing how beauty is perceived even today.

[quote]He’s considered the most good looking Asian man of all time.

because he looks like a white jock

I'd like to see him in a white jock(strap) ... and inside a white jock.

[quote]There's a Filipino in the cast. Kris Aquino is the daughter of former Philippine President Cory Aquino, whose husband's killing in the 1970s led to the People Power revolution that ousted Marcos.

There's more than one.

Kris Aquino is one of the most reviled celebrities in the Philippines. She calls herself the Oprah Winfrey of the Philippines, but I don't think she gets as much repect. The woman is a tactless, opinionated loudmouth who frequently gets into twitter wars with other celebs and non fans. She just doesn't know when to shut up and keep her opinions to herself.

After Party:

They hate freckles huh?

There's thousand of this fake freckles asian makeup tutorials on Youtube

Apparently, young Asian women find freckles cute, but to older generation Asians, freckles are blemishes to conceal.

R101 A stupid fad among the stupid generation... They look fugly to any traditional Asians.

[Quote] I think they should make a movie where some of the characters undergo Korean radical facial reconstruction. Kind of like that Stockard Channing flick The Girl Most Likely To. It could be. thriller or a black comedy.

There's a Korean horror movie about that but i can't remember the title.

[Quote] I'm going to see it for the hot Asian men!

So Daniel Henney is in it?

R83: Maybe the same demographic that made the novels a bestseller

Another example of minority guilt trip, so, like Black Panther, they went after an established IP, a bestselling novel to do it.

Looks horrible and drivel. Possibly a blockbuster hit.

R106: Bestsellers are adapted all the time.

I didn't read the novel but the plot sounds like a comedy that plays with cliches. I'm on a book forum and the people who read the novel really liked it and find it very funny

I personally think the producers (all Asians) shot themselves in the foot with this one, instead of selling their IP to Netflix to get their investment back, they turned down the offer because they needed the movie to perform in theaters, as a political statement.

We'll see if that pays off, hopefully it does, but if it fails, it will be a good example on why you shouldn't mix your identity politics with business when you're the one paying for it.

I think two of the three novels are on the NYT bestseller list on paperback. There's demand for the movie, of course the reception will vary a lot depending the quality of the film

Well, at least they look more fun than those 50 Shades of Silly movies.

I'll wait for the porn parody.

R111 Horny Poor Asians?

Crazy Naked Asians

r108 Mulan should have been that political statement, as not only would it have gotten the support of the asian crowd, it would have attracted the women support group (see? women can be more powerful than even a prince!), not to mention the family crowd that Disney attracts.

[quote]name-dropping and mindless consumption of luxury goods

That sounds good to me!

"Another example of minority guilt trip, so, like Black Panther, they went after an established IP, a bestselling novel to do it."

Yawn, more name calling from an idiot Republican. Can't people make movies about minorities with some idiot like you whining about a guilt trip? Are all movies supposed to be about white people? Do you object to gay movies, too?

Yeah, I didn’t really understand that post at R106. It sounds like a deplorable troll. How do these people find DL?

If you block the deplorable a large chunk of the thread vanishes

This is on track to debut with like $30 million - kind of a slap in the face for freeper OP and the tard at r108 going on about "identity politics"

R119 The latest update at Deadline says its starting run out of steam even before the weekend. They now predict $23M-$25M and it might not be able to hold off The Meg for the top spot.

The guy is not even cute ffs

They should have cast the "Tiger Mom" in the lead role of "The Meg."

That would have been much more frightening, and we all know that Tiger Mom's mouth would have done way more damage than a giant shark.

The books are fun reads but as a film, it just looks too Asian for most Americans, and too pretentious for most Asians.

Apparently even asians aren't immune to the cultural appropriation accusations as black Twitter is going after Awkwafina pretty hard.

I really liked the movie.

The setup in the beginning with Rachel Chu being an Econ professor with a specialty in games theory leads to a showdown with the matriarch Eleanor in a Mah Jong parlor.

Is there any Asian here who can interpret the game?

It appears that Eleanor won the game, then Rachel flips over her tiles and it APPEARS to me, a white guy, that Rachel LET Eleanor win.

The confrontation was about Rachel leaving Nick and that all the happiness and family that Nick would ever have would be as a result of Rachel's selflessness.

The win said it all, I GAVE IT TO YOU. Amirite?

When the big honking emerald ring popped out of the ring box, I burst into tears. (love movies like this)

But unlike an American version of this movie, when the camera panned over Eleanor at the engagement party, the look was not one of "so us poor girls can make it work", but one of cold and calculated , "you won". THAT was unexpected.

Yeoh was AMAZING. Our Emperor is, AMAZING. But boy can she do cold well.

It sounds perfectly boring, R125.

Will be sure not to see this movie.

And there IS life after Glee for Harry Schum Jr.

Hottie...

Question, who was the woman sitting alone up front during the wedding?

r124 Black Twitter going after a minority of a different race...

This is a surprise why?

r129 = Trumpster who goes after black people

[quote] it just looks too Asian for most Americans, and too pretentious for most Asians.

All Asian cast in a Hollywood movie. It will rake in billions in Asia alone.

Umm...R124 have you heard her speak when she is in "character"?

I liked it. The wedding scene brought a tear to my eye.

And I totally want to visit Singapore someday soon.

Meh. As a part-Asian, I found the movie boring.

But, REPRESENTATION! REPRESENTATION!

And don't ask me to explain the inner workings of mah-jong (I expect you to pay me for my emotional labor!)

....

Seems that OP is Crazy White Stupid.

I really liked it! The theater was packed and not just Asian people. It was really very good.

A lot of my co-workers saw it and they said it was really good. I might see it this weekend.

R127 You didn't watch Shadowhunters?

r139, no I did not.

.

r127

it did way better than expected.

That's great. I am sure it will be one of those films with legs, so I am betting there will not be a steep box office decline in its second weekend.

I prefer Big Trouble In Little China.

so who's out of touch now OP?

Yeah, OP and the identity politics troll are looking pretty silly now.

I loved it, not because I am Asian. Ha. Singapore looks lovely, and there are lots of hot guys.

My favorite guy was Astrid's cheating husband, who I hear is not really cheating. He has a great bod and look.

It's my Big Fat Asian Wedding.

It will have legs.

R145 I honestly don't understand why they are so concerned and bitter about this movie as if it's going to ruin & diminish the other 600+ movies that hollywood makes this year.

Ross Bultler- "I could have been the male lead in Crazy Rich Asians"

R149 I'm so glad he wasn't, he's hot, but he has none of Henry's charm.

r102 "Asians like freckles?"

Only those Asian-Westerners trying in their misguided ways to imitate the whites. Girls living in China, Hong Kong, Japan and Korea etc fear freckles like the plague because people recognize sun-damaged means ugly.

Being out in the sun also means that you are a peasant.

R151 like R102 said it's becoming popular and trendy with some younger generations who are, thanks to the internet and the rise of kpop, becoming more westernized. Last year there was a whole trend in kpop with the cuter/aeygo looking stars having faux freckles.

I watched them all on the press junkets on all the late night talk shows and they were all shiny, pretty, and tepid.

R154 yeah i've watched a couple of videos now where Constance Wu clearly is getting bored with having to answer the same old questions in the same way, i think the publicists are really making sure they stay on message & stick to the prepared answers.

Who cares? I just want to see it because the guy looks yummy.

R156 Welcome to the world of Rom-coms buddy, you think Matthew McConaughey was cast for the all those movies in the early 2000s because of his acting ability?

How embarrassing for OP.

Who said he was, R157? (although I never saw the attraction, personally).

Yes, I understand the genre thoroughly.

Again, I only intend to see this because the guy in this is hot.

R159 oh, sorry, i thought you were being sarcastic with the whole 'most gays and most fraus' bit.

If that ~34-$35M number sustains, that will be enough to place in the top 10 romantic comedy opening weekends ever.

R161 I think that number is for 5 days... not just the weekend.

Yes, it's for the 5-days not weekend only. But it's going to be the coming weeks that will prove to be impressive.

[quote]Being out in the sun also means that you are a peasant.

And what's wrong with being a peasant?

Text me when Horse Hung Asian Jock Wars comes out.

Too formulaic. It'll new a big hit.

Wtf?

Gemma went to Oxford with DL fave Riz Ahmed, Who knew!

Rumor is she's currently dating Dominic Cooper.

Gemma sure towers over lil Riz.

Just saw it and loved it. Constance Wu is a goddess. Awkwafina is hilarious. Henry Golding is gorgeous, as are Gemma Chan, Harry Shum Jr and the guy who plays Michael. Michelle Yeoh is visually very good but every damn line reading is flat. She’s an incredibly stiff actress. I remember her being bad in Memoirs of a Geisha, too. Maybe she’s better when she’s speaking Chinese. Anyway this is a hugely enjoyable romcom and I hope it’s a huge hit.

R170 It appears to be a big box office hit I am going to see it this weekend.

And the award for Achievement in Popular Film goes too...

Michelle Yeoh is aging really well

Rumor has it that “Crazy Rich Asians” is in the running for Best Picture for next year’s Oscars,

Loved the books, all 3. Can't wait to see the movie.

I saw it yesterday. It succeeds as a breezy summer rom-com; I generally enjoyed it. If you don't go in thinking it's going to be the best movie ever based on the hype, I think you'll enjoy it. It's flat it spots, and, of course, it's completely formulaic. But, I'm glad I saw it. The lead actor is a dud, IMO, though. But, the point is he's handsome.

While I have absolutely no issue with casting and no stake in how the movie presents -Asian-ness, I've read some interesting criticism and response to that criticism about (1) the ethnicity of some of the actors in the movie playing Chinese Singaporeans, and (2) how the movie overall doesn't show Singapore's diversity - the most direct attack being "it should be called Crazy Rich Light-skinned East Asians?" Again, I have no dog in the fight, but it goes to show you that these issues come up in every community.

For those of you who saw it, would an esteemed Asian family allow a Cousin Ollie - the "rainbow sheep" of the family?

R172 I agree with you...this could win the new Oscar award next year. It's a fantastic, fun, well written movie. Awkwafina is fucking hillarious and is now a certified star. I loved loved loved this movie.

Awkwafina is the best part.

[quote]and too pretentious for most Asians.

Bahahahahahahaha!

I live this film every single day -

R180, as a coder you're around THAT level of wealthy Asians - we're talking way beyond 300k tech bros. What exactly do you see - lots of ostentatious spending and partying? Or do you work somewhere where the Asian elite actually are located and run the company?

Michelle Yeoh gives a subtle, almost inscrutable performance. It is most Asian.

Where is the father, her husband, in this Big Fat Asian Wedding?

R168 I thought Gemma was dating Jack Whitehall?

[quote]As the two-hour film “Crazy Rich Asians” draws to a close, gentle guitar chords begin to play over its emotional final scenes. Within seconds, a soothing female voice joins in. She’s singing in Mandarin, but the melody is familiar. A few more seconds pass, and the realization dawns: It’s Coldplay’s hit song “Yellow.”

[quote]The movie is the first Hollywood studio film in 25 years to have an all-Asian cast and feature Asian Americans in lead roles, so it’s understandably generated worldwide excitement, earning accolades including “historic” and “a watershed moment for Asian representation.”

[quote]But since its U.S. release last week, the buzz surrounding the film isn’t just about its whopping $25.2 million opening weekend. Many reactions have focused on its soundtrack, a unique blend of multilingual songs, including classic Chinese hits and Asian covers of mainstream U.S. pop numbers. Though Coldplay’s Grammy-nominated love song isn’t the only English song to be adapted for the film — a Cantonese version of Madonna’s “Material Girl” is also featured — “Yellow” has swiftly become one of the movie’s most-talked-about moments.

R182, the mother mentions, in passing, that her husband is on a business trip in, I think, Shanghai.

Race in terms of viewing. 41% white, 38% Asian, 18% Hispanics and 6% blacks. We recently saw how one of us was treated at the asian nail salon and we kept our money to ourselves. Black people don't play.

Seemed pretty formulaic to me.

I am obsessing over the Mahjong game and its cultural subtleties.

I am assuaged:

r186 as if black people were going to watch this regardless of those "attacks"

Thanks, r188. That was helpful.

R183 Gemma and Jack broke up late 2017, I think.

Would a wealthy Asian family support gay cousin Oliver?

R188, great find. I've a played mahjong a handful of times and understood Rachel gave up the winning tile to Eleanor, but definitely wouldn't have understood all of the details. The blog does a great job.

[quote] publicists are really making sure they stay on message & stick to the prepared answers

How very... asian.

[quote] Gemma went to Oxford with DL fave Riz Ahmed, Who knew! Rumor is she's currently dating Dominic Cooper.

Wow, I never pegged Dominic for a closet case, but if he's dating HER, then he must be in the closet.

[quote] I thought Gemma was dating Jack Whitehall?

You didn't think she'd actually date an asian, did you?

[quote] Rumor has it that “Crazy Rich Asians” is in the running for Best Picture for next year’s Oscars

Thanks for the laugh.

It'll be nominated right along side the next installment of "High School Musical," or one of the sequels to "Scream."

As if the Academy could even be bothered with this pile of cow manure.

R194, you seem oddly annoyed that the film is doing well at the box office?

r194= homophobe and racist Mark Wahlberg, pissed off that his latest flop Mile 22 lost to Crazy Rich Asians and will not be a franchise.

Why does everyone keep saying it's the first major Hollywood movie with an all Asian cast since Joy Luck Club?

Memoirs Of A Geisha came out in 2005 and had an all Asian cast.

R197 I believe it's the first Asian-American cast since JLC. Most of Geisha's cast weren't American.

Who is out of touch now, OP?

I was looking forward to seeing the film, but I had to walk out around the Mahjong part. It was too much fluff. Very pretty picture, but I was so bored.

R200, you walked out the last 10 minutes of the movie?

I hate to be that person, but there's no monolithic "Asian" identity. Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese, Koreans, Southeast Asian (overseas) Chinese, Malaysia, Indonesians, etc. are very different from one another and don't think of themselves as part of one Asian people. That idea is very politically charged for historical reasons, far more so than the idea of a one Europe. The reason is that Japan tried to unite them all under the banner of the Japanese empire.

Moreover all these peoples have their own national cinemas, some of which are great. Only from the outside do they all seem part of one Asia. I am not interested in this movie for that reason. It sounds like a caricature.

Why didn't Sandra Oh get the lead?

This movie is much needed. I probably will not watch it anytime soon, but it's an obvious case of easing the general public into something """new""" with candy and fluff so they're more open to traverse into more contentious and "avant" subject matter. An all Asian cast of a Wes Anderson film would be a hit, too, IMO.

R202 how did the African American identify form? Africa has so many countries.

R202 Ummm. These peoples and them? you sound like you're whitesplaining, please don't.

The book/movie never pretends that there is a 'monolithic "Asian" identity' (aside from the title) & and no point does it ever pretend Asian people are united as one, infact it does the opposite. It's about a very specific clique of extremely rich Chinese Singaporeans and an abc woman who is thrown into their world whom they instantly don't like. The characters look like caricatures because they are caricatures, it's satire, & it's self aware, the main character at one point says she feels like she's in a soap opera. People are looking way too deeply into what is just a fun, silly rom-com. I don't remember people being this picky about Black Panther, why do people feel the need to rail on this movie so much when they haven't even seen it.

There should have been an earthquake/tsunami at the end. Then Godzilla emerges to trample the last few survivors.

[quote]how did the African American identify form? Africa has so many countries.

We're not a monolith so I can't speak for everyone but we didn't have an African identity since that was erased during slavery. Africans from/living in Africa often sees themselves different from African Americans and hate that we use African in that term anyway.

Africans have a separate identity though I don't think my Nigerian friend think he's too different from my Ghanaian friend.

The sequel is coming! Suck it haters! “Crazy Rich Asians 2”!!!

I loved this film. Great cast, amazing clothes, exotic locales and fabulous jewels. I can’t wait for more. The detractors above need to stop trying to make this film into more than it ever wanted or aspired to be. Just go with it or stay home and let the rest of us enjoy it.

R191 Thanks.

R194 I don't know much about her. Is there some rule that states she can't date a white guy?

The author is wanted for draft dodging!

Make him president of Singapore.

I'm seeing it tonight after the gym. Looks good.

What! Crazy out of touch Hollywood doing a sequel?

Kevin Kwan is a kween, right? I heard him on Fresh Air yesterday and he sure did sound it. BTW, it was one of Terry's worst interviews in a while.

This insight into the machinations of a Romeo/Juliette culture will make tons of money and this time that Vardalos chick won't be the one cashing in.

Is Crazy Emaciated Ethiopians next?

[quote]you walked out the last 10 minutes of the movie?

Yes. It was just too monotonous for me, and it couldn't keep my interest. I knew they were going to end up together, so I had to cut my losses. I was hoping for laughs and something different.

Not everyone is happy with Awkwafina's "black-acting" for her movie roles.

[Quote]Although in the book the film is based on, Peik Lin is written as a bubbly, rich Singaporean who went to Stanford, Awkwafina’s Peik Lin is a minstrel-esque performance of the “sassy Black sidekick” caricature, complete with the actress speaking in forced African American Vernacular English (AAVE). White and Asian-American audiences’ overwhelmingly positive reception of Awkwafina’s performance evinces multiple truths.

[Quote]Rolling Stone’s glowing profile of Awkwafina seems to reveal that director John M. Chu implicitly chose Awkwafina in an attempt to rewrite Peik Lin as a trope. Chu said that he specifically cast her based on her YouTube videos, in which she performs her Asian gangster persona, raps and speaks in AAVE. It’s not suprising; this disturbing slapstick Blackface routine has single-handedly propelled her career. She has appeared in three films—”Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising,” “Oceans 8” and now “Crazy Rich Asians.” In each one she plays—you guessed it—the same exact sassy sidekick.

It's not like she said n**ger. Y'all need to relax!

Akwafina is a rapper. They got an urban Asian.

The movie should have been entitled "Crazy Boring Typical Caricatures."

With Part II coming in 2019.

I agree.

R215: oh honey Yes.

A bit of Glam:

Horrible

At least have a good soundtrack

[Quote] At least have a good soundtrack

The only good thing about the Fifty Shades trilogy.

R226 The Film score is also really good, i like how is sounds very old-hollywood:

I'll be going just to see that hot Henry Golding.

Is Brian Tyler gay?

As an eldergay I am looking for a Mahjong league.

If lesbians can dominate soft ball, TOQs can take over Mahjong...

Tyler is straight. Asian wife.

R231, check Mah Jong meetups for your city.

[quote] Tyler is straight. Asian wife.

That actually means he's gay and in the closet.

Thanks r233!

I caught that interview too R215 and also was struck how it Terri seemed to be not on her A-game during it.

[quote] was struck how it Terri seemed to be not on her A-game during it

She was probably bored to death.

How come most of the characters have western names?

They are global Singaporeans.

At birth?

It contradicts what was said earlier in the movie, when the American-Chinese woman was told by her mother she was a different type of Chinese from them. Apparently, she isn't.

Thanks r232.

Unheard of 4% drop in weekend 2. Could do $200 domestic.

Really, R242. That really rare. They're predicting that on Friday's numbers, but still. 40% is common and 25% dropoff is considered good.

I saw it yesterday. It was quite good. Awkafina, Ken Jeong, and Awkafina’s crazy Mom Almost steal the show. It’s a rom-com, but there are some heavy themes and moments too. Henry Golding is hot, classy eye candy. So is Chris Pang.

Henry is boss

Hip hop is huge in Asia. Awkawfina is a hip hop artist. Ignorant people kick rocks

A huge late summer hit

R247, all the racist trolls on DL must be DYING LOL!

The sequel should be ""Crazy Asia Argento."

I hope the sequel is Crazier Richer Asians...

r249 oh, you bitch.

Crazier Richer Asianier Asians

Won't they just name the sequels after the books?

Pierre Png

What is this movie even about?

Pierre unfortunately has aged quite a bit lately; this is from 5 years ago:

[quote]What is this movie even about?

Woman finds out her bf is rich, when she is asked to be his date at a wedding in his country, Singapore. Then, you see scene after scene of crazy rich Asians. Since the girl is broke, his mother doesn't like her and gives her the side eye. Eventually, boy and girl walk off in the sunshine.

Just watched the movie and l love it. To all the racist trolls ,the movie might gross more than $100m

People miss rom-coms, or at least they miss movies without superheroes

r256, It's Romeo and Juliette where the story focuses on Romeo's mom and Juliette coming from the poor side of the tracks. Juliette turns out more noble than the noble. Romeo's mother eats shit. Happy ending.

Great movie

257 nowhere near that. It took five days to make a little over thirty million. It is a modest hit movie.

R261 = idiot

The movie will have made 77 million by today

It will make over $100 million

But idiot 262. The movie has not made anywhere near 77 million in the states. So what is your point. It is a modest hit.

Either 262 is Asian or a pr rep for the film. If the movie will make that much all the Asian blogs and even yahoo will be reporting it. It is just an overhyped pc movie.

R264 = Trig Palin

With Ding Dong Louie in the Oval Office, I have zero interest in watching a movie that romanticizes the super-rich.

[quote]But idiot 262. The movie has not made anywhere near 77 million in the states. So what is your point. It is a modest hit.

Are you a dumbass who can’t look things up or face reality? The movie has already made 77 million in the states ($35 million first weekend, $25 million this weekend, $17 million during the weekdays). It’ll be over $100 million by next week. Everywhere is reporting that it is a HUGE hit for a little movie that costs $30 million. Only you are saying it is a modest hit. What agenda do you have?

R268 Exactly! What the hell do people have against this movie that they don’t want it to be a success? It’s harmless light fun! The movie is a hit by any measure. Anyone saying otherwise is crazy ignorant stupid!

R269, just a few racists trolls who can't stand the fact that the movie is a success. Although there are quite a few on this site.

Poor racists... the movie will make at least 100 million, probably closer to 150 million.

Yeah right. I am just seeing it here. The imaginary 100 million.

[quote]Being out in the sun also means that you are a peasant. And what's wrong with being a peasant?

Life is often so unpleasant

You must know that, as a peasant

This movie will be lucky to make $50 million much less $100 million. Keep dreaming, Ching Chong’s.

R268,r274 why are you arguing with yourself?

Unsure if the guy is a troll or an idiot, but here’s proof:

I just saw it and thought it was fantastic. Very funny, great cast (the leading man is quite easy on the eyes), and very stylishly-made.

R276, that link does NOT say it made $77 million. Far from it.

"Greek Wedding" made well over $200 million.

I just saw it and it lived up with the hype imo. Basically a simple rom com with a smart script and gorgeous scenes. Funny and witty. GG awards will probably love it but and maybe a 'Best Popular film' nominee at the Oscars.

R278 - check out the numbers here.

Also, from an international standpoint, where it has recorded $730,000, it has only opened in Italy, The Netherlands, and the UAE.

This is going to be huge, probably $225-$250 million.

It says $76 million, not $77 million.

To the haterz..

Bok Bok Bitch!

Not liking a movie doesn't make you a racist. But using an accusation of racism just to leverage your opinion in an argument? THAT is racist.

It’s a great movie

R282, it's an estimate bc weekend box office totals haven't been accounted for yet. It's still Sunday. Keep worshipping Alex Jones! We will keep laughing at you lol.

Saw it today. Theater was surprisingly packed, which was annoying since I figured it'd be less crowded today. It was pretty good! I'd probably buy it on Amazon streaming. It's a cheer-me-up kind of movie for me.

Pierre Png (Michael in the movie) is hotter than the lead actor.

R274, you’re a pathetic deplorable

Lmao , racists trolls are in denial. First black panther , now crazy rich Asians. It’s a tough year for racist trolls

Is Pierre the cheating dude in the shower scene!?

R291 Yes

I am black idiot so I am not a deplorable. It is a scrappy pc movie with predictable plot line.

R290 is touching himself.

Beware little blonde girls.

"CRA" tops box office again, with an extremely rare 6% drop.

[quote]I am black idiot

Why yes, you are a black idiot.

Huge

Jesus, what mess is on here screaming "racism!!" at people for not liking a MOVIE? Clutch those pearls, Mary!!

296 is an asian cunt with small dick. The only reason he is attacking me is because he cant measure his tiny dick to most black men penis size. he hates himself for that.

R299 is not only an idiot, he’s a racist too.

since you called me a black idiot, you deserve the ridicule. At least i am not a rice queen with a tiny dick.

I think you called yourself a black idiot, not R296. Now take your black idiotic self and get out of this thread. You're not welcome here anymore.

I’m A young black dude who loves Asian men

"I am black idiot so I am not a deplorable."

302. who the fuck are you to dictate who can post on this thread and who cannot. that is why your kind are on the bottom of the dating pool. most women and gay men do not want feminine looking, hairless, rice eating with a tiny dick.

I really enjoyed the movie.

I am waiting for My Big Fat Lakota Sweat Lodge and Crazy Emaciated Eritreans down the pike.

R305, I can only imagine what you look like lol.

305. At least I am not a tiny dick, hairless, rice eating Asian.

Gemma is a beautiful woman.

The film is just a soap opera, light and breezy and treads no new ground.

But I totally understand WHY this film needed to be made and why there is a great interest in the film and the novels the film is based on.

I enjoyed it, too.

Yes, the plot was cliche and there were many cliche characters, but it was still fun. I liked the main female character's blonde-haired Asian friend and her family. I also agree it's time we see more Asians in the movies. I'm from San Francisco and have had many Asian friends, love literature by Asian-American authors, Asian history, food, and all the other incredible contributions Asians make. I've been in many Asian homes, worked with lots of Asians and they are no different than anyone else. Cultural differences for sure, but such good people (except for the criminal element which every ethnicity has) and very diverse. But the super rich ones, and we have many on the Peninsula, can be ruthless business people. I enjoyed the peak into that life.

Loved it. One of my favorite movies of the year.

Less than two weeks in and it has generated over $83 million on a reported $30M budget. It's a wild success.

What is with the disgusting and ignorant racist trolls on this thread? Our country has turned into Saudi Arabia...or Russia...or worse.

R314, you do realize it's DL right? Gay and racist is not mutually exclusive.

Disappointment in others bad' behavior that is justified by identity is not always racist.

Lol this movie was junk food. Why are all of you heralding junk food? Get some taste and self respect.

I never saw the movie, but the description of the mahjong scene would make it worth it.

I really like that sort of thing. It reminds me of the lace purchasing scene in Casablanca where the scene isn't about what it seems to be.

[quote] the description of the mahjong scene would make it worth it

Thanks for chiming in, grandma!

R318 That scene was quite satisfying... spunky ingenue gets one on the scary dragon lady.

R316, you seem to have some strange interest in this thread.

Fucking niggers

I smelled jealousy from some racists in this thread. What gives? Fuck off already. You are fucking ignorant and annoying

It was a good, movie. I'll be honest and say I loved watching the lady do all that shopping! Those fucking earrings were beyond beautiful. The actress is stunning and couldn't for the life of me remember where I had seen her before. I came here and voila! Humans! She looked really beautiful here.

Singapore looks amazing! I loved the friends family, now they were nice plus they had money as well. Not as much as the Young Family, of course, but they were definitely well-off.

I didn't get that mahjong scene until I read that article. The only mahjong I know is that ridiculous app that puts cutesy items on the tiles and you have to match up the pairs to get to the golden tiles at the bottom.

I'm glad it's making money. Haters (and racists) can take a seat.

Interesting how they are saying that there needs to be more Asian movies with Asian characters (read: only Chinese). However, most of the women with the biggest roles are all with Caucasian men.

R324 Interestingly, the mahjong scene was not in the book. It was added by the scriptwriters to give a final confrontation between Rachel and Eleanor. Also, Nick and Rachel did not have an engagement party in Singapore like the one at the end of the movie. They went back to the States estranged from Nick's family. But overall, this adaptation is pretty close to the book on major points.

Another fantastic hold (-6%)

Saw it the other night here in Oz. Quite a packed cinema - and it was running in two different ones at the local multiplex - with lots of sessions....

Just gorgeous to look at! Singapore architecture looks extraordinary - some sci-fi-ish, beautiful, urban utopia. A feast to watch! As were the beautiful cast, their clothes, the art direction - and the food! Sound track also a delight - so many fab sounding Asian covers of songs we all know really well.

It was very, very funny on several occasions - and generally amusing and engaging throughout. It’s not high art - it’s a romcom! - but a very slick, well done romcom that’s pretty well-rounded and hits all the marks.

It really felt like a well-made Hollywood studio film of the thirties or forties - made by professionals who love the medium and know what they’re doing. And along with the glamour quotient - there’s plenty of bitchy fun and hot boys and girls to look at. I’m surprised there’s not more love for it here...?

I think I wanna see it again - such a feel-good movie! Hope it continues to power on at the box office!

I enjoyed it. Want to go to singapore.

R328 here - ditto R329! Def wanna go and see Singapore now! I’ve transited and Changi airport many times - but never thought to stopover and explore :(

The one thing they did downplay in the movie tho - is the heat and humidity. There’s the one scene when the heroine arrives at her bff’s house and the friends mother comes out and urges them to get inside into the air conditioning as Singapore is so hot. But other than that - we don’t get to see any reference to it. Certainly no one ever sweats or looks damp - even when outside. But it’s freaking hot there! I’ve a friend who regularly visits her expat sister there says some nights the temperature barely goes down and it feels like 120% humidity! So if you do get to visit - just be prepared for that!

We used to make fun of rom coms but after all these years of comic book movies, it's nice to see a film with humans speaking of love.

Poor Op, so out of touch.

At least $150 million is likely

As long as Asians have caucasian features and the guys big dicks, I say let them have their movie and enjoy! Now if it was the story of Long Duck Dong's family, I'll take a hard pass, no matter how rich they are. However, nothing is better than a film with crazy hot rich white people being naughty.

R334, are u a 12 year old girl lol?

[quote] most of the women with the biggest roles are all with Caucasian men

Just like in real life.

It's the only way they can hope to move up in the world.

It seems OP is a SoCal lawyer.

[quote]“They are trying to get tutoring from me for law school,” the post says. “They keep telling me they are attending UCRA. I need to translate that in my head to deduce they are going to UCLA.”

R337, not very bright for an attorney. I wonder why she's not practicing and acting as a tutor. Regardless, she's going to regret those comments but you reap what you sow!

Saw this today and, despite the formulaic rom-com plot, I thought it was fun. And from an Asian perspective, I thought Henry Golding looked more Malay than Chinese. He may be mixed race, but I see more Malay than Caucasian in his features. Akwafina looked more Korean, and Nico Santos, Filipino. But besides that, I'm glad a movie about Asians and starring Asians is a blockbuster hit.

Singapore. Goodness. Back in the 1970s, Singapore was a polluted, chaotic country with a Bangkok red-light district vibe. But decades of authoritarian rule by the PAP has turned it into a disciplined economic powerhouse. They've turned things around, but at what cost? For a look at the Singapore that was, get your hands on a copy of "Saint Jack" by Peter Bogdonovich, starring Ben Gazzara.

R339 Awkwafina's mother was from South Korea but died when she was young, so she was raised by her Chinese American father and his family.

I love that Awkwafina puts her grandmother in her videos.

Wow...

'Crazy Rich Asians' Becomes Most Successful Studio Rom-Com in 9 Years at the U.S. Box Office

Truly, nobody else gives two fucks about those people or their dumbass movie.

The weekly dropoffs are crazily low.

r343, many of us Gweilo love this movie.

R343 don’t be ignorant and jealous. That’s pathetic. I really liked the movie too

R343, you didn't see it? Give it a shot. It's fun.

R343, are you Asian-hating Blatino DLer?

Don't contribute to hatred. Tolerance is key in this rough time.

[quote] R343, are you Asian-hating Blatino DLer?

Yeah, um, not even close.

White West Coaster who is tired of this pc bullshit.

People can hate a movie without being labeled a fucking racist.

IT'S JUST A STUPID, MOVIE! Why in the fuck does it have to be a crime, just because I don't like it and will NEVER see it?

R349, who said you're racist? And who said it's a crime to hate it?

The movie isn't really PC...

R349, sure, but your post was hateful.

"Probably only watched by asians in the US and around the world. Truly, nobody else gives two fucks about those people or their dumbass movie."

It's a fun late-night Postmates dinner-in movie.

I'll buy it on Amazon streaming when it comes out.

[quote]IT'S JUST A STUPID, MOVIE!

Yet you post again and again and again and again and again about how much it sucks. Strange, that.

[quote]IT'S JUST A STUPID, MOVIE! Why in the fuck does it have to be a crime, just because I don't like it and will NEVER see it?

And how do you know it's a stupid movie, if you haven't even watched it? You're just being a hateful cunt.

Leave the angry hater alone.

I wonder how long it'll take for the first sequel to come out.

BBC News is saying the movie is causing problems in Singapore... Let me pull the link

[quote] Yet you post again and again and again and again and again about how much it sucks. Strange, that.

Just like you post again and again and again and again and again, to remind everyone how "well" the movie is doing.

Even stranger, that.

Is the hater an older person? Just curious.

Welcome back Rom-Coms!

The Guardian not BBC News.

R357 must be a lonely eldergay

With a tiny dick and huge gunt.

[quote]Probably only watched by asians in the US and around the world. Truly, nobody else gives two fucks about those people or their dumbass movie.

"Those people"?!? Yeah, you are racist. Now fuck off.

r330- that was the first thing I noticed when they were eating at the night market- the guys all had sweat on their upper lips. Constance always looked sweaty to me. And on the plane ride home, all the sweaty pits putting the luggage away.

BTW, I'm half Chinese, with a Tiger Mom- Michelle Yeoh's acting was spot on. Also according to my great-grandmother (who still had bound feet), I was a peasant- I was too tall (5'7"), too tan (1/2 Filipino), and my feet were too big (9 US)- because of this, she would never speak to me.

Do you speak karay-a?

r363, whata cunt.

[quote]People can hate a movie without being labeled a fucking racist.

Of course, they can. What labels people as racist is hating the movie without seeing it because it has Asians starring in it and assuming only Asians are watching it.

Well it my right to not want to see it because Asians are starring in it as it is your right to see it for that reason.

What 'right' are you babbling about?

If the sight of Asians offends you so much then don't see it but stop posting about it here.

R367, why are you posting about a movie you don't want to see? Why are you even on this thread? Go away already!

r370, even assholes need validation of their assholedness.

Then they do laundry.

F&F r367.

Good chance it will hit $150 million

[quote]Well it my right to not want to see it because Asians are starring in it as it is your right to see it for that reason.

I don't know which is worse, the silliness of this statement or the possibility that you don't recognize that it is the dictionary definition of racist.

374. That is your opinion. Please stop using the word racist. It sound silly and overused.

Pok Pok, Bitch!

The racist troll is an eldergay who is an uneducated ignorant closes minded man that is still living in his parents’ basement and has never traveled to other different places in the world except his small shitty red neck town 🤣

R375, what is silly is you still trying to convince people you aren't racist. Bitch this is an anonymous site, celebrate your racist self. There's no reason to hide. Just don't insult everyone's intelligence by pretending you aren't. We all know your are racist. Come out of the closet with your caftan bitch! Then fix yourself a spot of hot tea and choke on it.

The landmark movie “Crazy Rich Asians” has broken yet another major record for ticket sales, becoming the highest-grossing romantic comedy in the U.S. in 10 years by surpassing 2009′s “The Proposal” this weekend, according to estimates from Box Office Mojo.

its a bad movie with a catchy title and a following from the novels

The film has made 219 mil worldwide given its budget is only 30mil. Doing exceptionally well

Incredible

its really funny now how OP is the one who ended up being so much out of touch.

Indeed bro

Could end up with $175 million domestic

I find Henry G very very sexy and attractive

Henry is also the male lead in another recent, well-reviewed movie, "A Simple Favor."

R387 huh? How come I didn’t know that. I will def check it out. He’s so handsome

I love how before this came out there was some naysayer here who was all ‘which idiot got this shit greenlit?’ -

I’m guessing that idiot has had a helluva raise and change in job status by now. Any other tips and opinions you’d care to share with us OP? I mean - more films flop than succeed - so you’re bound to get it right some time...

Just saw it, a sweet rom-com with some good lines and situations and a logical and satisfyingly ending.

Awkwafina, who's hosting SNL soon, was excellent as the rich, quirky and smart best friend of the heroine.

I find it bizarre how invested the azns are in the success of this movie.

The constant citing of box office numbers is bad enough, but he crowing about "how well it's doing" is equally strange. As if they have something invested in this movie.

It's quite pathetic, really.

^^ It's their "Ten Commandments."

[quote] It's their "Ten Commandments."

Omg, that's even more pathetic, because the movie sucks donkey balls.

But I guess mediocrity is okay with them, as long as "the numbers" are there. How typical.

As if only Asians went n saw this movie. Some idiotic motherfuckers!

R392, what a strange, racist statement. Why are you so invested in this? How does it take away from your whiteness? You're the pathetic one.

The guy who plays Michael is the hottest dude in the movie.

I hope SNL does a CRA parody.

They don't have any Asian cast members to do it.

Can't wait until this stupid ass movie goes away.

It's not like any of these people will ever be famous... rofl.

Some very strange statements from some racist trolls. I smell jealousy

And yet R400 are more famous than you will ever be.

I cried a lot at the end when Wu's character confronted the mom. Mary! I know but it resonated a lot for me.

Henry Golding is actually being discussed as James Bond. Also being considered is Max Irons and Oliver Jackson Cohen.

r399, next week's SNL host is Awkwafina.

This OP makes me laugh whenever I see it. He didn't realize he was the out of touch one. Just like I am reminded of the posters who were so convinced Black Panter would flop, and then it made ungodly amounts of money.

Finally saw it and was underwhelmed. Constance Wu was too old for the part.

This movie should be tossed into a cesspool, where it belongs.

I loved this movie. It was fun

Why was Michelle Yeoh's accent so much less pronounced than on ST Discovery?

r410, it appears that she is an actor.

I liked it. A fluffy little film. It's amazing how Asia looks like it's in the future and America is just grimy and falling apart

" as a black woman, I was offended to see that there were no dark skinned Asians in the cast.
