Angela and her partner Lee have been unlucky with their IVF treatments, but can\u2019t afford to pay for another round. Meanwhile their friend Min, the closeted scion of a multinational corporate empire, has plenty of family money but a soon-to-expire student visa.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">When his commitment-phobic boyfriend Chris rejects his proposal, Min makes the offer to Angela instead: a green card marriage in exchange for funding Lee\u2019s IVF. But their plans to quietly elope are upended when Min\u2019s skeptical grandmother flies in from Korea unannounced, insisting on an all-out wedding extravaganza.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">With a pitch-perfect cast of multigenerational talent that includes Bowen Yang, Academy Award nominee Lily Gladstone, Kelly Marie Tran, Han Gi-Chan, Joan Chen, and Academy Award winner Youn Yuh-Jung,\u00a0this fresh reimagining of Ang Lee\u2019s beloved, Award-winning rom-com teems with humour and heart in a poignant reminder that being part of a family means learning to both accept and forgive.<\/p>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1774669342741533\" data-ad-slot=\"1211148813\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a9Courtesy of Bleecker Street Bleecker Street has drop a new featurette from &#8220;The Wedding Banquet&#8220;.
