How big is your sweet tooth? Based on your answer, mileage may vary with Andrew Ahn’s modernization of “The Wedding Banquet,” a charming remake that stands on its own at the expense of discarding so much of what made the original so engaging. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it does make for a less interesting movie.

This remake opts for a more straightforward plotting than the original and cuts the charade of the plot quickly, substituting the original’s subdued emotional depths for heart-on-its-sleeve resolutions. This neatness makes for a lovely time at the movies that provides easy answers and heartwarming tearjerker moments, but the cleanness leaves something to be desired. 

Ang Lee’s 1993 original mostly revolved around a “La Cage aux Folles”-esque farce, wherein a Taiwanese immigrant and his white boyfriend must put on a ruse for the former’s elderly parents, pretending that he is married to a Chinese woman who is, in reality, their tenant. Ahn’s reimagining, co-written with the original’s co-writer, James Schamus, centers two gay couples, two men and two women. The quartet all live together in Seattle and the two couples have their own issues.
