The Wedding Banquet (2025): A Window into Modern Day Queer Relationships
In this remake of the 1993 film of the same name, The Wedding Banquet follows the life of two queer couples as they struggle with life-changing decisions. Although the central plot of the film remains the same, the 2025 version gives us a modern example of romantic love, friendship, family, and the decisions we need to make to find happiness.
In the movie, a Korean man, Min (Han Gi-chan), realizes that his Visa is expiring and he is expected to return to Korea to work at his wealthy family’s company. To avoid this fate, Min proposes to his long-term boyfriend, Chris (Bowen Yang), who is too scared of commitment to accept the proposal. Rather than leave his boyfriend and the life he created in Seattle, Min comes up with an idea. Their best friends are a lesbian couple unable to afford another round of IVF. Min offers to pay for the fertility treatment in exchange for a marriage. The planned green-card wedding goes awry when Min’s grandmother shows up and announces that there will have to be a big wedding ceremony complete with photographers.
