Crazy Rich Asians
Crazy Rich Asians is a 2018 romantic comedy film about a Chinese-American woman who discovers her boyfriend's family is among Singapore's wealthiest.
Based on Kevin Kwan's 2013 novel, it was the first major Hollywood studio film with an all-Asian cast since 1993.
The phrase now references ostentatious wealth among Asian families or the cultural tensions between Asian Americans and Asians abroad: It was giving Crazy Rich Asians at that wedding.
