13 Most Overrated Movies Of 2018

12. Crazy Rich Asians

Crazy Rich Asians
Warner Bros.

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 91% (7.6/10)

Crazy Rich Asians was a welcome step forward for diversity in Hollywood, and honestly, what screams representation better than giving Asian-Americans their own generic, low-effort rom-com?

Aside from its sharp visuals and decent performances, this is a cloying, overlong mix of CW-worthy cornball melodrama and Rich People Problems, which beyond the luxury porn on display isn't terribly engaging.

Sadly there's little subversion of the rampant capitalism on display which might make it a touch more interesting, and so it's ultimately just a mediocre, well-made slush-fest propped up by its shrewdly-marketed wokeness.
