Movie review: Ronny Chieng: Asian Comedian Destroys America!

 
In this stand-up special Ronny Chieng pokes fun at American's, the U.S. Government, and excesses considered absurd by the rest of the world.

Ronny takes aim at American's and their fondness for excess from the perspective of an outsider. Subways, children, work ethics, nothing is off-limits. Changing direction, he then tells us about arranging his 3 weddings.

Ronny's delivery is pretty good with nice use of his accent to add to the jokes. He explores a wide variety of topics and doesn't seem afraid to make fun of himself. While there are some good laughs, they are only good not great. It might have helped if Ronny looked at all happy or smiled at all during his monologue.

Camera work, stage setting and background, are good. Sound and soundtrack are okay.

Overall Ronny Chieng: Asian Comedian Destroys America! almost feels like the low-calorie comedy version with some chuckles but very few belly laughs. Delivery is good, as is technical work. Those who enjoy mild comedy with less controversial topics should enjoy this one.

With only some mild foul language, this should be fine for teens and above.
