Expected a comedy, but got hit in the feels :')

Excellent movie with a familiar cast. I think the screenplay did a great job of making you feel you were actually along for the journey, a point most romcoms miss horribly. There was a special connection with a lot of the characters I felt. While it had funny moments (by predicament or culture), I wouldn't categorize this as a comedy, just romance/drama. Still not disappointed that I saw it though.

This is an amazing movie that gets better with each viewing. Constance Wu is so beautiful and it is distracting but this movie is about so much more. Mother/daughter relationships and what it means to be a family. I love it so much and I am so happy this movie exists.

I loved this movie. It's throw back to romantic comedies of the 60's with Doris Day and Rock Hudson with a dash of suave sophistication and globe trotting of James Bond in one package. It wasn't just light fun, though, like so many rom-coms are. You deeply invest in these characters and care about what happens with them. 8/10

Adorable, funny, different. That's what I loved about this movie.
For me was amazing to explore another culture.
I hope there's a second part of this movie.

The hype surrounding this movie was crazy (both from the critics and the audience) so I had high expectations. I would lie if I said I wasn't disappointed. I wasn't invested in the characters' stories not did I care what happened to them. I also found the script/editing/acting to be awkward.

I still smiled a few times, so there's that.

I'm pretty much as white as it gets, so damn it was refreshing to watch a fully Asian cast do their thing. I really dislike musicals, but I felt the musical choices were great for the movie and added an even more specifically Asian dimension (not just, we're making a Westernised movie about an Asian story). There were some throwbacks that reminded me of friend's moms along with some contemporary Western hits. Total bonus - the cinematography was excellent, something I was frankly not expecting in this kind of movie (light rom-com/drama). There were some really gorgeous shots.

While some have noted that the movie is problematic in some ways with regards to representation, I'd love to see more of this kind of immersive, English-language (for the most part) film being made. I'm not a super fan of the overall story, and am usually pretty cynical about the whole 'omg you never told me you're rich! drama ensues, then love conquers most' kind of storyline, but I felt like the movie was fairly solid overall and other aspects kept me engaged (with a bit of cynical eye rolling for good measure).

Watched with the whole family after the youngest went to bed. We all really enjoyed this. Loved the characters, loved the story. I was expecting a romantic comedy featuring Asian characters that are rich... I didn't expect that they were truly CRAZY rich. Mixing Asian culture, foreign to a big part of an English speaking audience (myself included), with the foreign-ness of how ridiculously rich they are was subversive in such a great way.

LOVED the opening scene. Set up the rest of the movie pretty well.

A glamorous soap opera with minimal humor and only a small amount of drama that actually resonates. It seems to rely on focusing in on Asian culture, which is uncommon in mainstream movies, for sure. But, I was basically bored and uninterested.

One of the best movies I’ve seen so far this year!

Let met preface by saying this: this is not my kind of movie.

But when it started, I was actually very surprised.
Great music, cinematography (rare in RomComs!) and it's also genuinely funny (Ken Jeong is a national treasure, and Akwafina might just be his successor).
There are some fantastic supporting characters, and the leads also work.
On the other hand, early in the second act, the actual plot starts to kick in, and from that point, the movie just goes through the motions and becomes extremely predictable.
The final scene is a big cliché and extremely corny, and I guarantee that it'll make you want to throw up if you're a cynical dude like me.
Also, there's a side plot that didn't add up to much, and didn't need to be there.
Nevertheless, those two negatives didn't tank a movie that is overall a fine experience.

This is an absolute must-see fairy tale. Fireworks from start to finish!

I can't comment on the entire film, as I gave up on it within about 20 minutes. The acting is incredibly substandard, but I can live with that.

It's pretty impressive how cliche every scene can be when presenting what should be a new and different concept. The opening scene provides some cartoonish racism that seems to serve no purpose to the story except to demonstrate that rich people can solve every problem with money.

It's just too disappointing.
