A thoroughly enjoyable remake of Ang Lee’s 1993 dramedy—centers on two queer couples: lesbians Lee and Angela (Lily Gladstone and Kelly Marie Tran) and gay partners Chris and Min (Bowen Yang and Han Gi-Chan). Together, they devise a sham marriage plan so that Min, the heir to a South Korean multinational corporation, can stay in the United States without coming out to his traditional grandparents and risking his substantial inheritance. In return, Min agrees to help Lee and Angela pay for fertility treatments, which have been both emotionally and financially exhausting. Complications arise when Min’s formidable grandmother (Oscar-winning Yuh-jung Youn) makes an unexpected trip to Seattle to meet her soon-to-be granddaughterin-law, prompting the group to eliminate any “gay” elements in Lee and Angela’s home—and stage a full Korean wedding ceremony.
