Here is a movie where two worlds, both Asian, collide. Both families are of Chinese descent. Nick Young (Henry Golding) invites his American Chinese girlfriend home to meet his parents as he is traveling to Bangladesh for a wedding. Rachel Chu (Constance Wu) accepts the invitation. However she doesn't know what they are getting into. When they travel first class, with their own bed, she gets n inkling of what she is in for.
She spends time with an old friend from college, and when her old roommate hears who she is with she goes bonkers. This is the family that owns most of the city, as well as several other properties around the world. They are crazy rich. The biggest challenge for Chu is Nick's mother (Michelle Yeoh) and grandmother. Constance just is not good enough.
This movie is funny at the first. The friend (Awkwafina) provides the comic relief. However the humor leaves about half way through the movie. After it is just a tear jerker.
This movie presents a window into Chinese culture, wealthy, and American. Upon this it adds a nice romantic story.
