Thrust into the spotlight, Rachel must now contend with jealous socialites, quirky relatives and something far, far worse -- Nick's disapproving mother.

Critics Consensus

With a terrific cast and a surfeit of visual razzle dazzle, Crazy Rich Asians takes a satisfying step forward for screen representation while deftly drawing inspiration from the classic -- and still effective -- rom-com formula.

Li Sian Goh

Bitch Media

Crazy Rich Asians represents people and places with so little thought that it upholds a painful, brutal hegemony that's painfully apparent to people who live in Southeast Asia, where the film is actually set.

Film Comment Magazine

A binge-able series might have been a better way to go, since the script squeezes a sprawling supporting cast into boisterous caricatures and transforms an intricate flow chart of status among Singapore's superrich into a flood of affectations.

Irish Times

Aside from these important issues of representation and diversity, Crazy Rich Asians marks a welcome return for the funny, giddy, likeable, glamorous Hollywood romcom.

Cinema Elite

["Crazy Rich Asians"] balances sharp cultural commentary and astonishingly fresh direction with the kind of classic, escapist tone that a lot of filmmakers seem to have forgotten how to use in their recent stabs at romance.

Rated: 4/5

Wu’s magnetic performance pulls you toward Rachel’s side; you want her to stand up for herself, you want her to choose what’s best for her, even if it’s not the easy thing, which is what truly makes this movie unforgettable.

Perfection! Funny, romantic, had all the class issues you would expect in a rich guy goes out with a poor girl movie? Loved it!

I thought it was pretty bland. It wasn't particularly funny. It wasn't particularly emotional or moving. Even the main conflict of the movie didn't seem that tense and felt like it lacked an edge. I was waiting for things to pick up but it never did. This felt like a background movie. At least it was visually stunning.

Cracker of a romcom. I'm not a romcom guy, I've always loved the com more than the rom but the the balance between the 2 in this was great. I think the movie looks gorgeous and the only thing from a technical point is that I think dragged just a little in the middle. From a story perspective, again, great, just a couple small things bothered me but mainly at the end. The story lives on the central romance though and it was fantastic. Overall a great movie and if the wife ever just popped it on, yeah, definitely a sit down and join movie for me and just have a good time, maybe even a good cry. Great movie

Buoyed by an incredible cast and the stunning setting of Singapore, Crazy Rich Asians shines from start to finish. It’s easily one of the best rom-coms of the 2010s, with infinite rewatchability thanks to its charm, humor, and heart. Some of the bits drag — Awkwafina’s family scenes come to mind — but the core conflict between Rachel, Eleanor, and Nick is gripping throughout. The film’s climax at the Mahjong table is truly fantastic — elegant, emotional, and the perfect ending to a modern classic.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

If I could give it 0 I would. Vapid and genuinely hard to watch with how unlikable and poorly acted the characters are. Don't know what you'd have to start huffing to leave a positive review of this offensive caricature of a romance. Don't watch this.
