What happens

Reunion Dinner (Chinese: 团圆饭) is a 2022 Singaporean Chinese New Year comedy film. It tells the story of a soon-to-be-married couple who arrange for their parents to meet for the first time over Chinese New Year reunion dinner. But as the boyfriend is estranged from his mother, he fakes a family to impress them instead. The film was released on 20 January 2022 in Singapore and 31 January 2022 in Malaysia during the Chinese New Year period. The film stars Lawrence Wong, Cya Liu, Mark Lee, Xiang Yun, Guo Liang, Zhu Houren, Mimi Choo and Das DD. It was one of the five 2022 Malaysian and Singaporean Chinese New Year films, including Ah Girls Go Army (Singapore), Nasi Lemak 1.0, Kongsi Raya and Small Town Heroes (Malaysia). It is also not related to the 2009 Chinese New Year drama Reunion Dinner in any way despite sharing the exact same title and both starring Zhu, and another difference is that he was playing one of the main protagonists in the drama and the main antagonist in this film.
