This culturally relevant film, a contemporary romantic comedy based on a global bestseller, is so freaking good! I love Crazy Rich Asians, the first film starring an all-Asian cast in over 20 years. Crazy Rich Asians lives up to its name to the fullest with a totally unapologetic and over-the-top rom-com.

Yes, it is a mess from a story perspective, but who cares when the production design is this amazing? These Asians are not just rich, they’re crazy rich, and the production design does a phenomenal job reminding you of that basically every second. These sets are utterly ridiculous, and I love it. I’m going to be sad if there isn’t an Oscar nomination for production design in this film’s future.

Outside of its ridiculously over-the-top sets, the film has one of the best hunks of a lead I’ve ever seen. Yes, I have a total man-crush on the obnoxiously charming and charismatic Nick Young, played by Henry Golding. His relationship with Rachel Chu (Constance Wu) is one of the movie’s particular strengths.

Also: freaking Awkwafina! She is so good as Chu’s college roommate Peik Lin Goh. Sure, she’s basically playing herself, but herself is perfect for this role.

The best performance, though, belongs to Michelle Yeoh as Eleanor. The iconic Chinese actress holds nothing back portraying Nick Young’s mother, and her intimidating presence is felt even when she’s not onscreen.

Like I said, the story, which follows Chu to Singapore to meet her boyfriend’s family, is a bit messy and is perfectly predictable, but I could not be more fine with that. Nothing will take away the sheer fun this movie is, and Crazy Rich Asians is as good of a rom-com as any that came out in 2018.
