After seeing the first preview for this film, I wasn't sure I wanted to see it, but every preview improved, and I began anticipating it. I went to the first showing I could on the day it released because I was so hyped.
I am not a rom-com movie person at all, so I was hoping I didn't end up completely hating it. BUT, it was the right combination of rom and com. All of the actors/actresses were fantastic, Constance Wu was hilarious, and now I want to see Awkwafina in as many films as possible. Gemma Chan was also really fantastic in this. Henry Golding is nice to look at, and for it being his first acting role, he did great.
The story was quickly-paced, and it didn't feel like a two hour movie. The visuals were beautiful, and I'd definitely go see it again. It may be one of my favorite movies to come out this summer.

I had zero expectations going into this film. First, I had watched a 20/20 episode on the real life strippers that this was based on, and basically, the movie took the concept and made it a sort of BFF film. The people Ramona and Destiny's characters are based upon were definitely not friends.
This movie was drawn out and boring. It was a LONG hour and 49 minutes. A lot of the scenes were unnecessary, and would not stop going. I thought the Christmas scene would never end.
Something was off about Constance Wu, she was very wooden and again, boring. Also, while Cardi B and Lizzo appear in the film, they're more like cameos, which is a shame. The Usher scene, while unnecessary, was one of the best in the film. Usher looks the same as he did back then, and it's super creepy.
I'm not sure why this had all the buzz at TIFF.
