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.
The humor lands as if it’s coming not from the writers but through the characters by its grounding in the details of their lives. – Slant Magazine
The Wedding Banquet had me belly laughing and full-body sobbing… In a time when half the country is trying to dictate what families can look like, The Wedding Banquet throws all of that out with its radical approach to love, connection, and joy. – Out Magazine
