Please join us for Movie Night on Wednesday, June 17, 2026: 6:00-8:00pm at the Malden Public Library. We will be showing the remake of the 1993 film, “The Wedding Banquet.” This 2025 remake stars Bowen Yang, Lily Gladstone, Kelly Marie Tran, Han Gi-Chan, Joan Chen, and Youn Yuh-Jung.

“Angela and her partner Lee have been unlucky with their IVF treatments but can’t afford to pay for another round. Meanwhile their friend Min, the closeted scion of a multinational corporate empire, has plenty of family money but a soon-to-expire student visa. When his commitment-phobic boyfriend Chris rejects his proposal, Min makes the offer to Angela instead: a green card marriage in exchange for funding Lee’s IVF. But their plans to quietly elope are upended when Min’s skeptical grandmother flies in from Korea unannounced, insisting on an all-out wedding extravaganza.”

Rated R (103 min.) (2025)
