Chu, who previously directed films in several genres, seems to have found his genre. Like an auteur RomCom master, Chu energizes &#8216;Crazy Rich Asians&#8217; by delivering a fresh and fun take on the tropes of the genre. The familiar story of boy meets girl, boy loses girl, etc. benefits from a delightfully cast, a strong script based on a best-seller, and immersion into the exotic world of Singapore\u2019s ultra-rich.<br \/>\nThe familiar story twists in a more complex direction because Rachel Chu (Constance Wu) has no idea that Nick Young (Henry Golding), the love of her life, is the very wealthy scion of a Singapore dynasty and, consequently, the most desired bachelor in Asia. Had Nick never invited Rachel to a wedding in his native Singapore, they could have happily dated; instead, he wants to marry her and must introduce her to his family.<br \/>\nFortunately, Rachel\u2019s dear friend and former college roommate, Peik Lin Goh (Awkwafina), informs Rachel of just what she is walking into and helps her prepare and dress for the auspicious occasions ahead. Nick\u2019s cousin, Astrid Young Teo (Gemma Chan), whose \u201ccommoner\u201d husband is having an affair because he feels inferior, also helps Rachel navigate the choppy waters of catty, cruel, and jealous women who want to sabotage Nick and Rachel\u2019s relationship. Meanwhile, Astrid\u2019s failing marriage offers a counterpoint to Nick and Rachel\u2019s hope for love and marriage. Rachel also gets assistance from Oliver T&#8217;sien (Nico Santos), Nick\u2019s relatively poor cousin, who is an extraordinary wedding planner and stylist. (The fantastic wedding at the end of the film will influence weddings for years to come!)<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20009\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20009\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flovalleynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Constance-Wu-and-Awkwafina-in-Crazy-Rich-Asians21.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-20009 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flovalleynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Constance-Wu-and-Awkwafina-in-Crazy-Rich-Asians21-300x200.jpg?resize=300%2C200\" alt=\"Awkwafina as Peik Lin Goh helps Constance Wu as Rachel dress for an exclusive party at Nick\u2019s grandmother\u2019s mansion.\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/200;\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20009\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Awkwafina as Peik Lin Goh helps Constance Wu as Rachel dress for an exclusive party at Nick\u2019s grandmother\u2019s mansion.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Although the most important meeting with Nick\u2019s grandmother, Ah Ma (Lisa Lu), the matriarch who can withhold the family\u2019s blessing, goes well, Nick\u2019s mother, Eleanor Young (Michelle Yeoh), takes an instant dislike to Rachel and tells her why she will never \u201cbe enough.\u201d What lengths will family and frenemies go to destroy Nick and Rachel\u2019s love? Who is offering true friendship and help? Will Nick and especially Rachel be able to figure it all out and save their relationship?<br \/>\nAlthough Kevin Kwan needed footnotes in &#8216;Crazy Rich Asians&#8217; to clue readers in on Singapore\u2019s ultra rich and nouveau riche, Peter Chiarelli and Adele Lim\u2019s powerful script, which relies on contextual clues and poor-girl-rich-man genre tropes, provides the audience with everything needed to understand the world that director Chu captures so well. Chu choosing Brian Tyler to score the jazzy, fusion soundtrack helps bridge the cultural gap and increases the film\u2019s \u201ccrossover\u201d potential. However, because love is a universal language, &#8216;Crazy Rich Asians&#8217; is less a crossover film than just a great, enjoyable film that captures the universality of not only love but of wealth, struggle, and success.<br \/>\nOften films set in exotic locations can feel like travelogues; fortunately, &#8216;Crazy Rich Asians&#8217; provides an immersive Singapore experience. While most won\u2019t getting into these ultra-rich circles while visiting the island, vicariously experiencing Singapore\u2019s food through the food montages in &#8216;Crazy Rich Asians&#8217; will have foodies at least hitting local Chinese restaurants. In fact, a Chinese meal and &#8216;Crazy Rich Asians&#8217; will make a great date night or girls\u2019 night out.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20010\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20010\" style=\"width: 482px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flovalleynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Constance-Wu-Nico-Santos-and-Awkwafina21.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20010 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flovalleynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Constance-Wu-Nico-Santos-and-Awkwafina21-300x117.jpg?resize=482%2C188\" alt=\"Awkwafina as Peik Lin Goh and Nico Santos as Oliver comfort Constance Wu as Rachel when all seems lost for her, especially Nick.\" width=\"482\" height=\"188\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 482px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 482\/188;\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20010\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Awkwafina as Peik Lin Goh and Nico Santos as Oliver comfort Constance Wu as Rachel when all seems lost for her, especially Nick.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The acting is top notch, and the casting spot on while the English Boarding School accents make the dialogue easy to understand. Constance Wu is luminous as the accomplished, self-made university professor raised by a widowed immigrant mother. Newcomer Henry Golding is not only handsome, but he naturally evokes not only privilege but kindness and intelligence. Awkwafina is delightfully quirky; Gemma Chan plumbs depths, and Nico Santos\u2019 stunning performance provides a lot of humor. Michelle Yeoh is delicious as a determined, protective mom, and Lisa Lu charms as the beloved grandmother. All the supporting actors turn great performances which also speaks well of Chu\u2019s directing.<br \/>\nWhile &#8216;Crazy Rich Asians&#8217; has been hailed because it is the first film in 25 years &#8212; since &#8216;The Joy Luck Club&#8217; (1993) &#8212; to have a primarily Asian cast, &#8216;Crazy Rich Asians&#8217; is just plain fun. The fun evokes &#8216;My Big Fat Greek Wedding&#8217; (2002) or &#8216;Four Weddings and a Funeral&#8217; (1994), in both enjoyment and in box office potential. Also a feather of Chu\u2019s directing cap, &#8216;Crazy Rich Asians&#8217; could well be the next big RomCom Wedding film that has very long legs. (A film that has legs means it does well in the theaters and makes lots of money.)<br \/>\n&#8216;Crazy Rich Asians,&#8217; referring to very rich, is a Warner Bros. which runs a fast and hilarious 120 minutes. Director Jon M. Chu\u2019s &#8216;Crazy Rich Asians,&#8217; which is rated a family-friendly PG-13 for some suggestive content and language, is in theaters now, and this reviewer is heading back to see the film again ASAP!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20007\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20007\" style=\"width: 517px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flovalleynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Crazy-Rich-Asians-nouveau-riche-opulance.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20007 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flovalleynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Crazy-Rich-Asians-nouveau-riche-opulance-300x169.jpg?resize=517%2C291\" alt=\"The home of Rachel\u2019s college roommate\u2019s nouveau riche parents evokes the Palace of Versailles.\" width=\"517\" height=\"291\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 517px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 517\/291;\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20007\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The home of Rachel\u2019s college roommate\u2019s nouveau riche parents evokes the Palace of Versailles.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With a Fun RomCom, a Master Emerges by Sandra Olmsted &nbsp; Director Jon M.
