Bring dinner to enjoy this movie in a dinner theater setting with other movie lovers.

When Rachel Chu, an American born Chinese economics professor travels to Singapore for her boyfriend’s best-friend’s wedding, she discovers a secret: Nick is super wealthy and the most eligible bachelor in Asia. Wealth should be a blessing, not a curse; however, Rachel finds that all the single women in his social class want to bring her down to be with him. Featuring a totally Asian and Asian-American cast starring Constance Wu, Henry Golding and Michelle Yeoh, this 2018 romantic comedy is rated PG-13 and runs 120 minutes.

Nominated for two Golden Globes, “Crazy Rich Asians” won the Special Achievement Award from the African-American Film Critics Association, Breakthrough Ensemble from Hollywood Film Awards and Best Ensemble from the National Board of Review, USA, and the Asian Blockbuster Award from the International Film Festival & Awards, Macao.
