Crazy Rich Asians (2018)

This movie is shirt listed for the musical score (a category that has 15 which will be whittled down to five in the end), which was a bit of a surprise, because even though I was paying attention it did not wow me.
The movie itself is a bit of a conundrum.  It was based on an Asian novel, with a novelist who was born in Singapore and then emigrated to the United States, just as one of the characters did.  So there is authenticity.  The Asian actor community seems to be exceptionally pleased with a truly Asian cast for the first time ever in an American film. 
The problem for me was that there were a lot of exaggerated Asian stereotypes that were both off putting and for me a bit offensive.  The story is an old one.  Golden boy leaves Singapore for America, much to his parents distress because they think it is their right to control him mercilessly.  He comes home for a wedding, bringing his long term girlfriend, not at all preparing her for his dragon mother, and all the women who thought they should marry the golden boy.  And so on.  The greatest part of the film is the night hawker market,which is perfectly portrayed, and brought me back to my one great night in one.
