In your Sunday night movie, Crazy Rich Asians, Rachel Chu heads to Singapore with her boyfriend Nick Young to attend a friend’s wedding. Once there she has to contend with a lot more than something old, new, borrowed, and blue as she finds herself confronted with romance, rivals, and relatives.
Based on the novel by Kevin Kwan, the movie tells a rich (in more ways than one) and colourful tale, gorgeously brought to the screen with an incredible cast.
