The actors were joined by co-stars Han Gi-chan, Youn Yuh-jung, Joan Chen, Bobo Le and director Andrew Ahn at the film’s Sundance premiere on Monday night (January 27) in Park City, Utah.
The Wedding Banquet is a joyful comedy of errors about a chosen family navigating the disasters and delights of family expectations, queerness, and cultural identity. Angela (Tran) and her partner Lee (Lily Gladstone) have been unlucky with their IVF treatments, but can’t afford to pay for another round. Meanwhile their friend Min (Han), the closeted scion of a multinational corporate empire, has plenty of family money but a soon-to-expire student visa. When his commitment-phobic boyfriend Chris (Yang) 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 (Youn) flies in from Korea unannounced, insisting on an all-out wedding extravaganza.
The movie will be released in theaters on April 18. Watch the teaser trailer below!
