Kiki:
I am not Asian but loved seeing so many Asians on screen and knowing that they were also behind the scenes.
I do not want to wait another 25 years to see a film with an all-Asian cast. I do remember The Joy Luck Club.
I am glad film goers of all races embraced this film and made it break opening weekend box office records.
Rayiah:
Its fresh to see a romantic comedy with so much representation.
It’s a story with a main character who never never seems to lose sight of herself.
The release of the movie (and the book) is a hugely empowering moment for who has ever been discriminated against and creates a outrageously fun vision of those who build a real life empire.
Besides the main characters, the supporting ones were very multidimensional and all around fun.
