Crazy Rich Asians takes standard rom-com tropes (boy meets girl; they fall in love; she meets the parents; the parents disapprove) and filters them through Asian and Asian-American perspectives.
Jem and the Holograms is, to be honest, a ploy to make money and sell Hasbro toys. It’s also a surprisingly sweet and sincere tale of an overnight success (literally) and the problems that arise with fame – and a story of a family at a crisis point.
