Crazy Rich Asians | Ratings & Reviews

"Crazy Rich Asians begins, like Disney's Beauty and the Beast, with a woman in the pouring rain seeking refuge and a place to stay for the night. Unlike the fairy tale princess who impersonates a helpless hag, Eleanor (Michelle Yeoh) has phoned ahead. But the staff at the counter of the hotel where she is supposed to stay reject her, because she is Asian and they are racist. Retaining her composure, Eleanor – who we soon discover is enormously wealthy – makes a phone call. Within minutes an elderly gentleman arrives in the lobby to congratulate her on purchasing the premises."

"If history were to repeat itself, it’s absolutely fathomable that we won’t see another film like Crazy Rich Asians—a Hollywood studio-backed movie featuring an all-Asian cast—for another eternity. But given the recent groundswell in the support for greater screen diversity, I’d like to believe this won’t be the case. A fitting, glammier cousin to Pixar’s wonderful animated short Bao, the film qualifies as a truly momentous achievement for Asian representation."

Flicks, Aaron YapFlicks

"A movie that expertly manages to balance the opulence of incalculable wealth with the pragmatic, well-grounded sensibility embodied by its heroine, Rachel Chu (Constance Wu)."

VarietyVariety

"Crazy Rich Asians is breathless fun - rather weightless, too."

Vanity FairVanity Fair

"Seeing this kind of onscreen representation is incredibly satisfying, especially via Kwan's rich page-turner, loaded with cattiness but also plenty of Asian diversity, from wholesome friends and wise confidantes to jealous mean girls and scheming parents."

Time OutTime Out

"Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"A film that far too often relies on empty spectacle and cliché for effect."

StuffStuff

"In the guise of a bouncy romcom about insanely gorgeous rich kids, the pointedly entertaining Crazy Rich Asians is making history as the first Hollywood film in 25 years to feature an all-Asian cast. It's also "the" comedy to see this summer."

Rolling StoneRolling Stone

"This adaptation of Kevin Kwan's 2013 international bestseller is many things: a tour de force of lifestyle pornography, a slick, enjoyable divertissement, a surprisingly trenchant study of class and cultural difference."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"A thoroughly captivating exploration of the rarefied question of whether true love can conquer head-spinning wealth."
