Always Be My Maybe (2019)

For a change we liked this romantic comedy less than the ratings (see below), despite the stars. Ali Wong is a Type A celebrity chef and Randall Park her laid-back musician ex-boyfriend, with a big cast of Asian and non-Asian actors.

Written by Wong, Park, and Michael Golamco and directed by Nahnatchka Khan. No credited composer--just lots of songs.

Park is one of the stars of the TV series Fresh off the Boat, of which Khan is the creator and producer, and Wong is a stand-up comedian with two Netflix specials, shot when she was seven months pregnant with two different children.

There are a few fancy food stylings, so I'll put it on my list of food movies.

We saw it on Netflix on July 24, 2019. Rotten Tomatoes' critics' average is 90% and its audiences' 82.
