On the same day the trailer for "Crazy Rich Asians" hit the internet, there was a special VIP early advance screening of the film with a Q&A with the cast and director Jon M. Chu. Months head of its theatrical release, audience members (mostly Asian Americans, influencer and industry professionals and reporters as well as Roxane Gay, Malaysian singer Yuna, and more) tweeted about how they felt about the film. And the reception is positive!
YALL! @CrazyRichMovie is so so so good! @henrygolding and @ConstanceWu are very strong leads! I’m still misty! @awkwafina and @nicosantos are the comedic heart! SO many laughs.
Entire cast DESERVES!
Beautifully captured by @jonmchu!
Applause all around. #CrazyRichAsians

#CrazyRichAsians was even more perfect than I expected. Legitimately one of the most beautiful rom-coms I've ever seen, frame by frame. Kudos and enduring gratitude to @jonmchu

Saw #CrazyRichAsians. It was hilarious, colorful, and SUCH A GOOD ROM COM. I truly can’t tell you what it meant to see so many Asians on screen as the main characters. ALSO @awkwafina is the G.O.A.T. 🔥🎎🎏⛩🍚🍣🥟🍱

I was lucky enough to get to see #crazyrichasians tonight and holy crap it is FANTASTIC. Everyone. Is. Great in it. It was sometimes hard to hear the jokes because people were laughing so hard at the last joke.

Judging by my timeline, #CrazyRichAsians is about to show yet again that so much of Hollywood’s conventional wisdom about what’s viable commercially is all racist and sexist convention, no wisdom.

Okay so 90% of my bias aside, it was so dope and refreshing to see an all Asian cast in a movie that wasn’t about kung fu 😂
(But foreal) @CrazyRichMovie is REALLY GOOD. @awkwafina fuckin killsss itttt, so funny, and @ConstanceWu is like a real life princess in that shit. 🔥🔥🔥 pic.twitter.com/aoSnarPBWZ
