After dating for more than a year, Nick Young (Henry Golding) decides it's finally time for his girlfriend, Rachel Chu (Constance Wu), a New York economics professor, to meet his family when he travels back to Singapore for his best friend's wedding. Having mentioned little about his family, Rachel is shocked to discover Nick is the sole heir to a vast fortune as his family belong to the elite class of the super-rich. However, culture clashes and a cruel ultimatum from Nick's hostile family threaten to ruin their relationship. Can the couple find a way to overcome their seemingly insurmountable differences to be together? (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)

I completely understand that for Asians in North America, Crazy Rich Asians have acquired a practically cult status, and even the romance plot works quite well, but the comedy aspect is just as insanely idiotic as you would expect of an Asian comedy. Far-fetched, often loud, far too colorful and sometimes downright bizarre. Granted, the romance plot can be enjoyable for some, it's a classic cliché in all respects, but actual humor is nowhere to be found. Apart from a few exceptions, it’s totally mediocre.
