- TriviaDirector Jon M. Chu revealed that Michelle Yeoh was dissatisfied with the mock-up ring that her character, Eleanor, was going to wear. She showed him a ring from her personal collection and this eventually became the emerald and diamond ring Eleanor wears in the movie.
- GoofsWhen Nick invites Rachel to Singapore, he says "Singapore for Spring Break". This would place the timing of the film between March and April of the calendar year. However, the Tan Hua (Queen of the Night Flower), which blooms on the second night after they arrive, only blooms between July and October.

Featured review
Apparently, the first of three...and quite enjoyable.
My daughter loved this movie...so much that she found the book from which the story was based. While she MUCH prefered the movie for many reasons, she also informed me that this is only a third of the story and that two follow-up films have been slated.
Constance Wu (from "Fresh Off the Boat") plays Rachel, an American Economics professor who doesn't realize she's dating a man whose family is among the richest in Southeast Asia. Oddly, he never mentioned this and his family only comes up when he announces, out of the blue, that he's returning to Singapore for a wedding and wants her to come along to show her off to his family and friends. Once there, she realizes she's in for a surprise....not only because they are so wealthy but because many of them are bigoted jerk-faces. Can she manage to deal with these vipers or is her relationship doomed?
While some might call this a rom-com, there isn't a lot of comedy in this movie. Instead, it's more an interesting lesson about wealth and Singaporan-Chinese culture. In this sense, I found it very interesting and I enjoyed watching it while occasionally yelling out "dump the boyfriend"...much to my daughter's annoyance, though, fortunately, we saw it at home and not in a theater! Worth seeing and cleverly written.
