COMMENTS Positives: Negatives:
• The movie plot is faithful to
the novel. • So many cut scenes.
• Good Asian representation
in Hollywood movies. • Main lead man character is a little bit disappointing. • Interesting characters that we can relate. OVERALL Crazy Rich Asian is really recommended to watch, I really love the movie because it made us relate to the movie, they can balanced humor and ridiculousness against the love between Nick and Rachel really well. If you are into a light romantic comedy type of movie, I bet you will love it too. Despite the things like the poor acting and writing of the male lead character this movie manage to capture the hearts and minds of millions of movie- goers including mine.
