Crazy Rich Asians: Maybe the book was better

Crazy Rich Asians is what it is: a summer flick that requires no engagement with your gray cells. It's the Big Mac of movies: tasty with no nutritional value and you may want to see another movie right after.

Maybe that's why the Movie Slut wasn't quite satisfied when it was over. She wanted more. More crazy. More rich. As for the all-Asian cast? Maybe they were enough. And while she's at it, MS says the movie need not be more predictable.

It's the story of Rachel and Nick. He's the bachelor all the single girls drool over. He's not only super-duper loaded, but a super-duper hunk, as well. Nick's mother, the closest to a villain in this feel-good flick, tells Rachel she'll never be enough for Nick. (Say what!) Rachel shows the insufferable snob a thing or two.

Still no one is that evil or cunning in this fluffernutter of a film. It's what it is and that isn't it.
