It was refreshing to attend a movie where no one was under the age of 35.

Quiet, no last minute cell phones conversations, just anticipation of a good adult movie.

The movie opens in 1995 with a Asian mother and kids checking into a posh NYC hotel.

It is raining, and one child has dirty shoes dripping mud in the lobby. Immediately, the staff figures these people do not meet our standards, and "lose" their reservation...no room for you.

The mother uses a phone booth, makes a call, and re-enters the hotel....her obscenely-rich family simply buys the hotel.

Flash ahead to today. Her son Nick, in NYC, is dating Rachel, who is of very humble roots, she has NO clue about his family and their VAST Asian real estate empire based in Singapore.

Nick asks Rachel to go to his brothers wedding in Singapore.

Rachel meets the entire family...it's quite the spectrum of Asian characters.
Their old family traditions firmly intact, but these are different times.

Nick proposes, Mom REALLY disapproves, friendships develop, family secrets are revealed.


The outrageous exhibition of wealth, and the interesting things the wedding party comes up with for entertainment are over the top.

This movie reminds me of quirky family wedding comedy's of an era gone by, we found it very refreshing....

Go see it with wife or Girl friend.....you won't be disappointed.....

I saw the previews.......looks silly to me JMO :0003

Guess its a matter of perspective....we liked the fact it had an actual storyline and was genuine, from the heart.

Silly to me was the "Transformers" series......a friggin "Toy" and people paid hard earned coin to see it.

Take away CGI today, and what you got?

Not much worth watching....takes no story whatsoever to dazzle young audiences these days with buildings exploding, improbable car chases, super-heroes spouting flames, planetary disasters.....

Take a girl friend and see Crazy Asians...you may get lucky..;)
