10 Movies That Are Much Better Than The Books They’re Based On
‘Crazy Rich Asians’
Crazy Rich Asians brought life back into romantic comedies in 2018 with the adaptation the first book in Kevin Kwan’s series.
Why was it better? The characters themselves were less vapid stereotypes than in Kevin Kwan’s book. The movie added depth to each of them, such as the relationship Nick had with his best friend Colin and his fiance, Araminta. The movie highlighted Astrid more, despite cutting her relationship with her ex completely out.
I can only assume and hope that both Astrid and Charlie’s parts will be bigger in the adaptation of China Rich Girlfriend.
