Hey 3.5 readers. I’m busy getting to my Christmas stuff but just wanted to throw out some love for this movie. It’s funny and better than your average, run of the mill romantic comedy.
Girl meets boy then finds out he’s rich and she has to struggle to fit in is as old as Cinderella. But this takes it to a new level. Rachel has been dating Nick for a year when he takes her to Singapore for a family meeting only to reveal that he’s the heir apparent of a wealthy hotel/real estate mogul family. They’re rich. Super rich. Crazy rich, even. They spend all their dough on fancy cars and wacky parties, full of vibrant colors and fireworks. But Nick is also Asia’s most eligible bachelor and that makes Rachel unpopular among the babes who want to be in her position.
Awkwafina is the icing on the cake as Rachel’s wacky friend who teaches her how to make it in the crazy rich Asian scene.
Great movie. Worth a rental. Makes me wish I was a crazy rich Asian.

We watched the trailer for this tonight, but couldn’t decide if it’s worth it. Do you think it is?
Wow this is an old one but yet I feel like I just watched it.
I liked it. I vaguely remember the plot. They are all rich Asians. I think the main character is a girl who is not rich or not rich by the standards of the others. She is engaged to a rich man but the mother does not approve I assume because the girl is not rich enough. By the end she wins the mother over. Awkwafina is the quirky sidekick. A lot of people dump on Awkwafina but I like her because she built a whole career with a funny youtube song about her vag and was even fired from her day job for making the video but it turned out to be great for her because she got movie deals and is now one of the top go to Asian actresses.
Yes I would say its worth a watch. I never had the desire to watch it again but I recall enjoying it at the time.
I really liked Awkwafina in that seven rings show. 😀 I’ll give it a whirl.
Shang Chi?
Probably.
Did you see the trailer then search my blog to see what I thought about Crazy Rich Asians? That’s awesome. I could be the next Roger Ebert.
I literally search your blog for every movie I consider watching. I also search for what you wrote about ones I just watched that I neglected to read about beforehand.
That is awesome I wish more people would. Or maybe it means I waste too much time on movies.
Never a waste, no.
Just watched it! Worth it, Mr. Ebert.
About time. Wait. New phone. Who dis?
🤣 C’mon. I’m, like, 2.5 of your 3.5 readers.
