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.

Rated: 3/5

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.

One of my favourite movies and I just rewatched it for the 10th time! Wonderful to see an all Asian cast of amazingly talented actors. Fun, wonderful dialogue and chemistry between the leads. Loved the soundtrack. The breathtaking cinematography of Singapore and islands makes me want to visit! Watch it now!

Its okay .... IF you can get past the first fifteen minutes. Those first 15 minutes are awful. And I am not joking here. Crazy Rich Asians is an average movie, but you'll never know if you can't get past those first fifteen minutes. I don't understand how they released the film with this beginning. Its that bad. The characters are grating. The cameos are annoying. The writing is cringeworthy. The music is overbearing. But thats just the first 15 minutes. If you can get past the beginning - go ahead and fast foward if you have to - you'll see a normal, watchable movie.

The movie is average but very cringeworthy. Also i didn't understand why Mandarin-speaking characters speak English when they're alone... It's a shame it wasn't more authentic, I was hoping to learn a little more about the culture and language, even if it's a comedy... I will not watch again.

Gorgeous looking movie with a stellar cast, funny charming banter, and poignant rich themes and narratives about romance in conflict with clashing family values and classism.
