Ahn’s take on The Wedding Banque t follows a close-knit group of cohabiting Seattlites—couples Lee (Gladstone) and Angela (Tran) and Chris (Yang) and Min (Gi-chan)—who hatch a plan for a mutually beneficial sham marriage.

Lily Gladstone, Bowen Yang, Kelly Marie Tran and Han Gi-Chan talk about "The Wedding Banquet" with director Andrew Ahn.

Vanishingly few if any movies have had releases arranged around the episodic schedule of Saturday Night Live (maybe MacGruber, back in May 2010?) but by sheer coincidence The Wedding Banquet is arriving in theaters as SNL goes dark for two weeks in advance of its final run of Season 50 episodes.
