“Crazy Rich Asians” (*** out of four) was a nicely done adaptation of Kevin Kwan’s blockbuster novel about a young Asian-American woman (Constance Wu) who travels to Singapore to meet the family of her new boyfriend (Henry Golding) and finds that they’re wealthier than she ever imagined which results in unexpected cultural and family clashes. No classic but features enough laughs and high-spirited performances to make this entertaining. Wu is particularly winning in the lead role and action star Michelle Yeoh is good in an usual role as the family matriarch.
