It’s been 25 years since a major Hollywood studio released an English-language film with a primarily Asian cast. The last film that did that was The Joy Luck Club in 1993. As the film’s director Jon M. Chu states, “It’s more than a movie, it’s a movement.”
Join the #GoldOpen movement to sell out theaters everywhere to demonstrate the market for quality big budget Asian-American films!
Synopsis: The story follows New Yorker Rachel Chu (Constance Wu) as she accompanies her longtime boyfriend, Nick Young (Henry Golding), to his best friend’s wedding in Singapore. Excited about visiting Asia for the first time but nervous about meeting Nick’s family, Rachel is unprepared to learn that Nick has neglected to mention a few key details about his life. Not only is he the scion of one of the country’s wealthiest families, but also one of its most sought-after bachelors. Being on Nick’s arm puts a target on Rachel’s back, with jealous socialites and, worse, Nick’s own disapproving mother (Michelle Yeoh) taking aim. It soon becomes clear that the only thing crazier than love is family, in this funny and romantic story sure to ring true for audiences everywhere.
