Factual error: In the second-to-last scene, Rachel is leaving Singapore for New York. Nick goes onboard to propose and convinces her to stay in Singapore for one more night. However, this is not possible in Singapore due to strict laws which state that those who enter the departure area must have a boarding pass and intend to leave the country. Those who have a boarding pass but no intention to depart will be prosecuted. In 2018, 40 people were arrested for various offenses, such as sending a friend off or meeting their idols.
Crazy Rich Asians (2018)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Jon M. Chu
Starring: Michelle Yeoh, Gemma Chan, Henry Golding, Constance Wu
Nick proposes to Rachel, but she turns him down because accepting would cost him his family, due to their disapproval. Eleanor gives Nick her ring to propose with, and this time Rachel accepts.
Suggested correction: Nick's family is extremely rich, powerful and famous in Singapore. That might have been enough to get him special treatment or an exception to the rule.
Astrid Young Teo: God forbid we lose the ancient Chinese tradition of guilting your children.
Trivia: The film made quarter of a billion dollars worldwide in its year of release, and became the highest grossing romantic comedy in 10 years.
