it was "OK"

just a bigtime advertisement for Singapore

the "affair" side plot was forced and stupid.

I liked the comedian chick and the dude from the Hangover though.

The best part was the mom & and the aunties vs Rachel. Also her college friend & family were funny.

Edit: Also Singapore looks nice, but it just looks like Hong Kong and Beverly Hills had a baby.

I've been a few times, have family there. It's nice, some of the building architecture is 18000, but it feels a little boring and soul less. Just my personal observation.

Crazy Rich Asians, like Get Out, is a decent movie whose diversity lands it GOAT-level reviews.

I really feel like they just tried to blatantly stereotype all sorts of asians in it (even had the creepy autistic type dude who took photos all the time)

Appraently people in Singapore are mad that all of the main characters have Brit accents, only some of the side characters have real Singapore accents (and probably because it sounds goofy as fuck)

There were a few moments that were cringey, and the acting could have been better. But overall, it's a solid B+ movie, one of the best rom-coms I have seen. There are some really emotional themes and scenes.

If you have to forcememe your way to a $25m weekend, that show's just the opposite.

There was no "forcememe". Only alt-right internet shut-in weirdos pay attention to twitter. The people who went to see it liked what they saw in the previews and based on its cinescore they enjoyed the movie. I'm sorry that you're now inferior to asians, Melvin.

Wife forced me to see it. It was fine for a rom com and it was far more enjoyable than many other movies she’s forced me to see. It’s a solid b+ movie.

It really does paint everyone in Singapore horribly, though. Seems like more of a dig at Singapore/it’s values than anything else.

Agree that awkwafina doing a Joan rivers impression was the funniest part of the movie.
