Fire Island filmmaker Andrew Ahn modernizes the premise of Ang Lee's 1993 classic rom-com for his new movie The Wedding Banquet, which he co-wrote with James Schamus (who helped pen the original). While the remake honors the basic synopsis of a closeted man marrying a woman in exchange for a green card, it also adds more modern issues like IVF and a second romantic pairing. The result is a heartwarming and zany hour-and-a-half of found (and sometimes literal) family and accidental love squares, anchored by Bowen Yang's Chris, whose paralyzing indecision throws his romantic relationship and friend group into turmoil.
