When New York economics professor Rachel Chu Constance Wu accepts an invitation from her charming boyfriend Nick Young Henry Golding to attend his best friend’s wedding in Singapore, she envisions a simple summer holiday and a chance to meet his family. She is utterly unprepared to discover that Nick is not just comfortable, but the heir to one of Asia’s most immense fortunes, thrusting her into the dazzling, cutthroat world of Singapore’s elite. Directed by Jon M. Chu, this lavish romantic comedy-drama finds Rachel navigating opulent parties, jealous socialites, and Nick’s formidable, disapproving mother Eleanor Michelle Yeoh, who believes Rachel, an American-born Chinese woman, will never be good enough for her son. As Rachel leans on her hilarious friend Peik Lin Awkwafina and encounters Nick’s eclectic circle of friends and relatives, including the elegant Astrid Gemma Chan, she must confront the pressures of tradition, wealth, and family loyalty to discover if her love story can survive in a world where old money and high society dictate the rules.
