On the big screen: Crazy Rich Asians
While money can’t buy love, it can definitely complicate love.
Starring: Constance Wu, Gemma Chan, Lisa Lu, Awkwafina, Ken Jeong and Michelle Yeoh.
Directed by: John M. Chu
The only thing crazier than love is family.
Native New Yorker Rachel Chu accompanies her longtime boyfriend, Nick Young, to his best friend’s wedding in Singapore.
Excited about visiting Asia for the first time, but nervous about meeting Nick’s family, Rachel is unprepared to learn that Nick has neglected to mention a few key details about his life.
It turns out that he is not only the scion of one of the country’s wealthiest families, but also one of its most sought-after bachelors.
Being on Nick’s arm puts a target on Rachel’s back with jealous socialites and, worse, Nick’s own disapproving mother taking aim.
It soon becomes clear that while money can’t buy love, it can definitely complicate love. – Nu Metro
