Crazy Rich Asians 7/10

Book was better LOL. I did not picture the Ellen looking girl as that. But the Ken Jeong is hilarious as always.

Having read the book, I paid closer attention to the details like, "Pacific Asean Airlines" and some people's names is "Tee". I hope that was satirical - an attempt to show the Asian discrimination in Hollywood. I don't actually think there are any Asians with the family name Tee or they really didn't have to try that hard at the airline name. I also noticed that all or most of the maids could be filipino. The usage of darker skinned Asians as maids hints at the rich culture of having maids. This is a common occurrence in Hong Kong.

I don't know if the crazy rich really act like that, but in my experience, even middle-class families act like that. Not to that extent, but they are very petty and judgemental when it comes to marrying out of class.

All in all it was alright. I don't think it's worth the hype that everyone makes it out to be. And if it was meant to be satirical, I would like it a lot more.

Edit: Bonus points for having an OG Ford GT and an air-cooled porsche (idk my porsches but it was an old, blue porsche).
