Thanks to a superb Rotten Tomatoes rating, the near-unlimited wealth of the characters in Crazy Rich Asians isn't the only thing that's crazy about the movie's release. It's officially one of the top movies on Rotten Tomatoes with a perfect 100% fresh score.

As of publication there are 22 reviews posted for the romantic comedy and all of them are positive, with reviewers from The Seattle Times, New York Magazine, and Vanity Fair, and more contributing to the Certified Fresh score.

While the reviews praise the mostly faithful book-to-screen adaptation of Kevin Kwan's bestselling novel and all agree that it fulfills its promise of a solid rom com, others wrote that the film wasn't as smooth as it could be, with Indiewire's Kate Erbland saying it "hits a road block in the film’s clunky third act."

Still, a choppy last 40 minutes seems not to have stopped the critical consensus from landing Crazy Rich Asians a perfect score — and with 93% of Rotten Tomatoes' polled audience listing the movie as a "want to see," it looks like the movie is primed for a remarkable opening weekend.

Crazy Rich Asians hits theaters on August 15th.
