A joyful comedy of errors from director Andrew Ahn about a chosen family grappling with issues of cultural identity, diversity, and family expectations. Disappointed by her commitment-averse boyfriend Chris and his time running out, Mina makes a proposal: a green card marriage to their friend Angela in exchange for her partner Lee’s expensive IVF. But their plans to elope are thwarted when Min’s grandmother surprises them with an extravagant Korean wedding reception. Starring Bowen Yang, Lily Gladstone, Kelly Marie Tran, Han Gi-chan, Joan Chen, and Youn Yuh-jung, « The Wedding Reception » is a moving and heartfelt reminder that being part of a family means learning to accept and forgive.
