ABOUT THE FILM

LOGLINE

With a pitch-perfect multigenerational cast that includes Bowen Yang, Lily Gladstone, Kelly Marie Tran, Han Gi-Chan, Joan Chen, and Youn Yuh-Jung, Andrew Ahn’s remake of Ang Lee’s 1993 comedy offers a fresh take on a chosen family navigating the disasters and delights of family expectations, queerness, and cultural identity.

LONG SYNOPSIS

From director Andrew Ahn comes a comedy of errors about a chosen family navigating the disasters and delights of family expectations, queerness, and cultural identity.

Angela (Star Wars’ Kelly Marie Tran) and her partner Lee (Academy Award nominee Lily Gladstone, Killers of the Flower Moon) have been unlucky with their IVF treatments, but can’t afford to pay for another round. Meanwhile their friend Min (South Korean actor Han Gi-Chan), the closeted scion of a multinational corporate empire, has plenty of family money but a soon-to-expire student visa.

When Min’s commitment-phobic boyfriend Chris (“Saturday Night Live” and Fire Island’s Bowen Yang) rejects his proposal, Min makes the offer to Angela instead: a green card marriage in exchange for funding Lee’s IVF. But their plans to quietly elope are upended when Min’s skeptical grandmother (Academy Award winner Youn Yuh-Jung, “Pachinko”, Minari) flies in from Korea unannounced, insisting on an all-out wedding extravaganza.

With a pitch-perfect cast of multigenerational that also includes Joan Chen (The Last Emperor), this fresh reimagining of Ang Lee’s beloved, award-winning romcom teems with humor and heart in a poignant reminder that being part of a family means learning to both accept and forgive.

Co-written by Andrew Ahn (director of Spa Night and Fire Island) and James Schamus, who co-wrote the 1993 original film.
