lovely movie! had a great time! however, i just gotta say it: some of the least convincing fake eating in recent memory. why does the one guy take the tiniest nibble imaginable of an already stumpy french fry. why is the one girlfriend eating her burrito out of a kitchen…
Angie HanJan 27, 2025I just thought this was incredibly lovely, funny and highly rewatchable. I certainly have my criticisms: Bowen Yang doesn’t carry big emotions well; Lily Gladstone is underused; Ahn sometimes opts for restrictive framing of actors’ faces, thereby undercutting their…

this movie was amazing. It was hilarious and heartwarming. the chaos of the plot was done very well. the characters were very flawed but in realistic ways. overall, I adored this film, and it may now be one of my top queer films.
Bennie likedThe Wedding BanquetI loved the “found family” themes and the emotional bonds feel so genuine. Lots of emotional weight while overall the film still feels lighthearted. There were a few tonal shifts in the film, but the ending was perfect! 7
Jayjayj625 likedThe Wedding BanquetThis was more comedy than romance and I didn’t laugh as much as I wanted but it was still cute and funny and I would recommend it. I’d see a part 2 of what happens next with how this movie ends lol.
- Daniel Bartolo likedThe Wedding Banquet
Sweet, sometimes funny, romantic queer movie which shows how far friendships can be tested. I had the pleasure of hearing from the director himself, Andrew Ahn, at the Mediterrane Film Festival.
willow is "meh" onThe Wedding Banqueti liked the style (colour filters and film) but the acting was also kinda melodramatic, tbh i missed a bit of the beginning but idk how they get over the cheating and lying part :// 27/06/25
Alyssa Graves likedThe Wedding BanquetI didn’t love the cheating that happened but the grandma clocking them fast was so funny bc like it was quite obvious. It was nice to see Gi Chan in more things. “ you were the top?” 😭😭😭
- Matt Ortiz lovedThe Wedding Banquet
A nuanced look at the cultural views of both marriage and LGBTQ love. Very surprised at its refreshingly un stereotypical approach that makes for a tender rom com
Jen lovedThe Wedding BanquetI really enjoyed this movie. It got me in my feels and did a great job showing desperation and compassion and love. I chuckled several times as well.
Reid H likedThe Wedding BanquetMostly there. Bringing light to new family values, modern family possibilities. The realness was there though - wholesome overall

The film itself is more recognizably human and considered, while lacking any comic edge or sense that the romantic stakes are high.

Though it doesn’t break any new ground, “The Wedding Banquet” does occasionally zig when you expect it to zag. These moments, along with the performances and the unobtrusive direction by Ahn, make this a successful and fun remake.

The humor lands as if it’s coming not from the writers but through the characters by its grounding in the details of their lives.
