Why did the film keep saying Singapore is part of China?

Singapore is a sovereign nation.

We need a DCUM field trip so we can share popcorn and goobers.

Milk Duds! I’m seeing it for the second time tomorrow and taking my girls.

I didn’t hear that. I heard that the characters were ethnic Chinese. Peik Lin explained that Nick’s family and the other “crazy rich” ones immigrated to Singapore in the 1800s.

Plenty of movies for you to enjoy then!

The Asian American community is grossly underrepresented in American media. So I think it’ll relate to way more Americans than you’re suggesting.

It really is! The last movie I saw with an all asian cast (in the theater) was the Joy Luck Club.

Why does everyone forget about Memoirs of a Geisha (2005)? It was a FANTASTIC movie, won a Golden Globe, won three Oscars and was nominated for a further three. It also outperformed the Joy Luck Club by a factor of 3.

Michelle Yeoh was in it too!

Are you Asian?

I agree about Memoirs of a Geisha. Why is that one not mentioned?

You must be a troll. No sane, intelligent human being would say/believe something like this.

Unless they were completely racist. Which is a very distinct probability I guess....

Because it wasn’t written by an Asian person.

Saw it last night - super cute and funny!

I liked it. Haven’t seen a rom com in forever!

Just going by the trailer, as a white person, looking at somebody else’s ethnic comedy leaves me feeling complicit in racial prejudice.

It is a great romantic comedy, and that wedding was amazing.
