However, I was really impressed with Crazy Rich Asians not only as an adaptation, but also as a movie itself! It really helped me visualize the book’s world. The ride isn’t even over yet, with China Rich Girlfriend and Rich People Problems on my TBR. I wanted more drama with Kitty, although one aspect involving Kitty and someone who is not Alistair have a funny moment.Ĭrazy Rich Asians overall just made me hungry, between Nick and Rachel’s adventures exploring Singapore’s food stalls and the lavish dinners at Ama’s house.Įven with its 500+ page length, Crazy Rich Asians just completed sucked me in its glitzy and funny story. Sorry movie, but I was so much more impressed with the wedding’s weekend long events in the film. Seriously, I need Astrid’s earrings and wardrobe ASAP.Ĭolin and Araminta’s wedding was absolutely stunning, and its beauty made Rachel and Nick’s moment all the more sweeter. My Jealously over Astrid’s jewelry collection: BOTH Her family was even more ridiculous than I could have imagined (what else could you expect from Ken Jeong as her dad?). Peik Lin, played by Awkwafina, was even funnier on screen. I also like how the movie showed a bit more of Rachel’s professor side, and I loved the addition of her study on game theory. Played by Costance Wu, Rachel was a strong female protagonist, with tons of humor of her own.

The movie spends much more time with Rachel and Nick than the book, as the book more so follows his family’s reactions to Rachel and their own storylines. While their depiction was spot-on in the movie, I wish we got to spend more time with Astrid, Eleanor, and even Eddie’s family. I loved how the book jumped from perspective to perspective, allowing the reader to get to know so much of the Young clan.

The movie is again laugh-out-loud funny, my favorite characters being Oliver and Peik Lin. Book-wise, so much of the humor comes from ALL the characters’ dialogue and he ridiculousness of their lives. Both book & movie are absolutely hilarious.
