What happens in The Wedding Banquet trailer?

The video introduces two queer couples as they get involved in a big elaborate lie that will require them to deceive a rich South Korean grandmother. The film is led by Oscar nominee Lily Gladstone as Lee, Kelly Marie Tran as Angela, Bowen Yang as Chris, Han Gi-chan as Min, Joan Chen as May, and Academy Award winner Youn Yuh-jung as Ja-Young.

The Wedding Banquet is directed by Andrew Ahn, who co-wrote the screenplay with James Schamus, based on Ang Lee’s 1993 romantic comedy movie of the same name. Additional cast members include Bobo Le, Camille Atebe, Jeffrey Liang, Emma Yi, Francoise Yip, Marlee Walchuk, Jeremy Hoffman, and more. It is executive produced by Daniel Bekerman, Julie Goldstein, Luca Intili, Andrew Karpen, Shivani Rawat, and Kent Sanderson.

“The film is a joyful comedy of errors about a chosen family navigating the disasters and delights of family expectations, queerness, and cultural identity. Angela and her partner Lee have been unlucky with their IVF treatments, but can’t afford to pay for another round. Meanwhile their friend Min, the closeted scion of a multinational corporate empire, has plenty of family money but a soon-to-expire student visa,” reads the official synopsis.

“When his commitment-phobic boyfriend Chris rejects his proposal, Min makes the offer to Angela instead: a green card marriage in exchange for funding Lee’s IVF. But their plans to quietly elope are upended when Min’s skeptical grandmother flies in from Korea unannounced, insisting on an all-out wedding extravaganza. With a pitch-perfect cast of multigenerational talent, this fresh reimagining of Ang Lee’s beloved, Award-winning rom-com teems with humour and heart in a poignant reminder that being part of a family means learning to both accept and forgive.”
