… director Andrew Ahn’s remake of Ang Lee’s 1993 original about a gay couple hiding their love in order to appease familial obligations tones down the horniness to celebrate the families that queer communities create. Make no mistake there are still laughs (including when characters wake up in a bed together) but Ahn is judicious about the humor and is after something much more heartfelt. And his cast — Bowen Yang, Lily Gladstone, Kelly Marie Tran, Han Gi-Chan, Joan Chen and Oscar winner Youn Yuh-jung (“Minari”) – delivers in that department. The story hinges on Min (Gi-Chan) and Angela (Tran) impersonating a straight couple while their respective partners, Chris (Yang) and Lee (Gladstone) blend in as friends  and help de-gay the Seattle home where Lee and Angela — who are trying to get pregnant via IVF – live and where the noncommittal Chris resides in the basement apartment. The pleasures of “The Wedding Banquet” belong in how unabashedly queer it is as well as its endearing performances. – The Mercury News
