Kevin Kwan's book was also a satire on the lives of the rich, and the sharpness is missing here. It's not a ruthless examination of the hollow, repetitive, and wasteful aspects of welath but an all-out celebration of them. Yet the actors, esp. Constance Wu and Michelle Yeoh, rock the universe with their charm and charisma, and it's great to see transnational conflicts between natives and emigrants enacted so thoughtfully on the big screen.

The Thousand Faces of Dunjia 2017
If you're up for a stupid, fun, tonally inconsistent mess of occasional comedy and beautiful CGI with a kinda Lovecraftian villain and bad guys from the trashy side of classic wuxia (think DEADFUL MELODY), then you could do worse. Ni Ni is great but they wrote her character without nuance.

Magic Cop 1990
A delight. Lam Ching-Ying's Uncle Kau character is transposed to a 1980s police department straight out of 80s American comedies, where a drug cartel case leads to a Japanese sorceress using human corpses to transport contraband, and an amazing showdown between LCY and the sorceress.
