From Director Andrew Ahn comes a joyful comedy of errors about a chosen family navigating cultural identity, queerness, and family expectations. Frustrated with his commitment-phobic boyfriend Chris and running out of time, Min makes a proposal: a green-card marriage with their friend Angela in exchange for her partner Lee's expensive IVF. Elopement plans are upended, however, when Min's grandmother surprises them with an extravagant Korean wedding banquet. Starring Bowen Yang, Lily Gladstone, Kelly Marie Tran, Han Gi-chan, Joan Chen, and Youn Yuh-jung, The Wedding Banquet is a poignant and heartfelt reminder that being part of a family means learning to both accept and forgive.

Alonso Duralde

Breakfast All Day

Andrew Ahn is a humane filmmaker -- this is his fourth feature, and I think they all really work, capturing not only geographic specificity but also giving you characters who are deep and moving.

TIME Magazine

It’s a fun, open-hearted picture, and even if it lacks the wistful subtlety of the original, it ends up on the same landing note.

AARP Movies for Grownups

Predictability reigns, but the lively characters end up being generous-hearted, offering the audience joyous proof that gay or straight, male or female... sometimes a chosen family trumps the biological one in navigating the pitfalls of modern love.

If you are going to have such unlikable characters making selfish choices the jokes need to be funnier

The Wedding Banquet is a nifty shindig delivering what any reasonable person would want out of a romantic comedy/drama.

Not only is this The Wedding Banquet a great and expansive remake that builds upon the spirit of the original, but it’s also its own achievement in the celebration of queer joy for the LGBTQ+ community and simply an entertaining flick.

This was a fun movie with a unique perspective. It wasn't quite as funny as they were selling it to be but it did have some good laughs. I honestly found the character Min the most funny and his relationship with his grandmother and the evolution had the most gravitas. All the actors played their parts well.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

It exposes people to same sex marriage, same sex family, and learning about marriages from different cultures. It was very educational and uplifting. It was both humorous and serious. It brought me back to cultural family issues that I was exposed to as a kid. It was amazing!!!
