#MovietimeInManhattan @WBPictures @WBHomeEnt @CrazyRichMovie #CrazyRichAsians #CrazyRichAsiansMovie #WhomYouKnow FALL IN LOVE AND MEET THE FAMILY Crazy Rich Asians BLU-RAY™ COMBO PACK, DVD AND DIGITAL FROM WARNER BROS. HOME ENTERTAINMENT AVAILABLE NOW

Ken Jeong steals the show in Crazy Rich Asians!
Though he does not play a lead role, his talented hilarity proves memorable and his winning in-character ways will delight you each and every time he graces the screen.  He plays the father of the college roommate of the female protagonist of this movie.

A modern-day eastern Cinderella story, Crazy Rich Asians is a light, fun film that will entertain you and of course, will be particularly a must-see if you are Asian, we would imagine.  Viewing it lends itself to a bit of a vacation visually once you aren't in New York, as the Asian part is not common in many movies we've seen.  Family drama ensues, and no matter what your cultural or economic background is, this is something everyone experiences and can relate to.

If you are a luxury enthusiast, you'll marvel at some of the finds that grace the screen. We liked the jewelry in particular.  Singapore looks like a fantastic place to visit and the man-made body of water across multiple skyscrapers looks like something that would be amazing here in New York.

This movie got a lot of attention when it hit the big screen last summer, so if you, like Peachy, did not catch it then, this is a wave of a reminder that now's the time!
