Constance Wu stars as Rachel Chu, who essentially serves as our best surrogate for the story, the daughter of a single Chinese immigrant mother, who rose above her station to become a professor of Economics at NYU.\xa0 Her current boyfriend is a man names Nick Young (played by Henry Golding), who, for over a year since they\u2019ve been dating, has never divulged to her that his family back home in Singapore is insanely wealthy.\xa0 The cat has to be let out of the bag, however, when Nick asks Rachel to attend the wedding of his best friend in Singapore, where he also plans to pop a question of his own after she meets the family.\xa0 However, Nick\u2019s stern mother, Eleanor, disapproves of trying to pursue what one wants in life independent of the family wishes, so Rachel\u2019s pursuit of her own career, and Nick pursuit of love beyond his class, ruffles more than a few feathers among his family, friends, and the rest of the rich and famous they socialize among.\xa0 John M. Chu directs, with supporting roles for Michelle Yeoh, Awkwafina, and Ken Jeong
