Somehow i found a lot of things similar to another movie 'the proposal' starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan.
What on Earth is going on? This film choke-full with cliches, with bad acting and a sooooo predictable story got awards?
When I saw this title in the theaters it didn't appeal to me at all. Six months later I was on a cruise and this movie was the feature "Movie Under The Stars" one night.
There are all types of movies and sometimes you just want a fun, pretty, happy, fun (yes, I said it twice) Awkwifina filled movie that ends just like you want it to and leaves you filled with happy. This is one of them.
I notice many people are bc put off by the greed and materialism of the characters in the film but this movie has been mAde several times only now with Asian actors. In the surface all seems to be about money and position but there are huge sacrifices- Nick's mother lets her MIL raise him to please the older woman.
The movie has funny moments I'd give it that... but that's about it.
One of those movies that's almost good, and almost bad, and as a result, almost whatever. The movie has a few funny lines, and some very agreeable acting, but all in all, it feels like it was made in 1980 before people all over the world got a little more irony into their mindsets.
I had been waiting for this movie for many months until the price went down to rent and I'm so disappointed. It's so superficial and corny, not what I was expecting at all.
It's a solid film, but man what a missed opportunity. A very interesting story that is held back by mediocre direction.
