The Wedding Banquet Trailer Reveals Queer Mishap of Epic Proportions
Bleecker Street has shared the first official teaser trailer for The Wedding Banquet, a romantic comedy directed by Andrew Ahn and written by Ahn and James Schamus.

The trailer introduces Angela (Kelly Marie Tran) and her partner Lee (Lily Gladstone), who are unable to afford another round of IVF treatments. Their wealthy friend Min (Han Gi-chan) offers a marriage deal to Angela in exchange for funding Lee’s IVF, but their plans are upended when Min’s grandmother (Youn Yuh-jung) insists on throwing an extravagant wedding banquet.
The film features a stellar multigenerational cast, led by Bowen Yang and Lily Gladstone, with Kelly Marie Tran, Han Gi-chan, Joan Chen, and Youn Yuh-jung also starring. The cast includes several Academy Award nominees and winners, including Youn Yuh-jung, who won Best Supporting Actress for Minari.
