Crazy Rich Asians (film)

Joe Morgenstern, writing for "The Wall Street Journal", found the film to be "Bright, buoyant, and hilarious," making special note of the large number of quality performances from the cast members: "And anyone with a sense of movie history will be moved by the marvelous Ms. Yeoh, who was so memorable as the love-starved fighter in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," and by 91-year-old Lisa Lu, who plays Nick's grandmother and the matriarch of his family. Anyone, in this case, means anyone. "Crazy Rich Asians" includes us all". Ann Hornaday, writing for "The Washington Post", deemed the film a "escapist rom-com delight" and remarked that "It will more than satisfy the sweet tooth of romantic comedy fans everywhere who have lately despaired that the frothy, frolicsome genre they adore has been subsumed by raunch and various shades of gray"; she also compared the film's rom-com themes to "Four Weddings and a Funeral" (1994).
