CRAZY RICH ASIANS *

"Crazy Rich Asians" is a rom-com with a difference, the difference being that this one is about crazy, rich Asians. It's hardly ground-breaking while at the same time is a lot less offensive than it might have been. Indeed it's extremely formulaic; there's nothing here you haven't seen a hundred times before, a two-gag movie, the gags being, you guessed it; they're rich and they're Asian. (the 'crazy' bit hardly registers). It's nicely played by beautiful people in very opulent looking settings and Singapore looks amazing, (I wouldn't be surprised if the Singapore Tourist Board had paid for it all), and it's mildly amusing at best. As Miss Brodie would say, 'For those who like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing they like'.
