MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ is breezy predictable fun

"Crazy Rich Asian" works well as a contemporary romantic comedy, it touches universal themes about the differences between "normal" people and very rich - "crazy rich" - and this is a familiar, warts. And all the love stories that are easy to understand and comfortable for all audiences.

One reason it does not work well is that, unlike many spraying demonstrations of money, the audience has seen this story first. Yes, there is an all-Asian artist in it, and it is not yet suffering from all love stories featuring another wart and general white suspects, but in the end, it is very familiar, very comfortable.

Based on the hit 2013 novel by Kevin Quan (it gave birth to two successful sequels), the film retains the spirit of the 500-page book, but if you are a fan, do not expect to see what you read and Was painted. As always, numerous changes are made to cut or cut when the screen is favourable. Many of them made it in the film, but there was not much of it.

Still, except for some dramatic moments (in both book and film), this is a bright, fun exercise. Rachel and Nick (Constance Wu and Henry Golding) are dating New York City for more than a year.

He suggests that when he returned to his native Singapore to become the best man at his friend's wedding, Rachel should come along. Since he is a college professor and summer is off, so he can make an extended escape from it. Definitely, she says.

The imitation of the story is that Nick's family is rich - like one per cent rich But since going into the states, he always keeps a low profile about it, and Rachel has no clue. His first person did not come until he went to his plane, and he had an ultra-first class experience.

Until this point, the film plays like Rock Hudson-Doris Day Rope from the 1960s. But its simplicity and charm make changes in complexity and even a little unbearable behaviour happens when the plane lives in Singapore, which introduces a long list of characters: friends and relatives, some good and some No.

First of all Nick's soon-to-be-married friend is Colin and Araminta (Chris Pong and Sonoya Mizuno). They are very good, although Araminta has been cleared from the book. There are many cousins in Nick, of which my favourite fashion icon and good-hearted Astrid (Gemma Chan), who is married to Shift Eyes Michael (Pierre Peng).

Call friends among friends, or perhaps a friend of a friend, he is angry and poor Bernard (Jimmy O Ying) and Rachel's old school Chum Peak Lin (Awkwafina, playing it all in scene-stealth mode). Most of the result, Nick's classy mother is Eleanor (Michelle Yeoh), who, after meeting Rachel, feels cool cold for him.

Remember, these people are crazy. They all have been impressed by their property, but some of them like Rachel and accept, while others see them as a common, or, in some cases, do a gold dig.

That part is, of course, where the script has a brief brush with the mood-breaking drama and emotional upheaval springs. But the film remains on the light side of most things.

It is certainly fun to look at the huge cost of money in clothing and jewellery shops and on both sides of the undergraduate and undergraduate. Even about non-money-related scenes, one about scouring dumplings, one about the competitive nature of Mah-jong, the other is very pleasant.

Since this film is close to the romantic comedy Formula, there will not be any surprises as to how it ends. But it is not hard to think that if compared to Dreb Rachel and Nick, the story was more focused on Astrid and Michael, then it would gain a different level of satisfaction.

The second book in the trilogy - "China Rich Girlfriends" - plays Astrid a bigger role. If this film works well, then we might get a chance to see that story.
