Our take
The Wedding Banquet is an R-rated romantic comedy about a green-card marriage plan that spirals into a lavish family wedding. Expect frequent strong language, drinking scenes, emotional family conflict, and LGBTQ+ relationship themes. The tone is heartfelt and funny rather than explicit. Older teens and adults
Story (may spoil tone)
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.

Talk after watching
- Min and Chris juggle love, paperwork, and family expectations. When do white lies become harmful?
