It seems like we’ve been waiting forever for the first Crazy Rich Asians trailer, and now, it’s finally here. To be fair, it’s actually a teaser trailer, and what footage we get is less than 20 seconds long, but still, we couldn’t be more excited. On Thursday afternoon (April 19), the movie’s official Twitter account dropped the clip, giving us just a taste of what’s sure to be one of the funniest movies of the summer.

The short clip, which was also tweeted by star Contance Wu and director Jon M. Chu, begins with Wu’s character, Rachel Chu, rolling up to a huge mansion in Singapore. “Damn Rachel, he’s like the Asian Bachelor,” says Rachel’s friend Goh Peik Lin (Awkwafina), as her boyfriend Nick Young (Henry Golding) walks out in a snazzy white tux. We then get a series of super-quick shots of Nick’s family’s “crazy rich” life, complete with massive fireworks, sleek sports cars, and lavish parties. “You really should’ve told me that you’re like the Prince William of Asia,” Rachel says to Nick, who replies, “That’s completely ridiculous. I’m much more of a Harry.” The clip ends there, iconically.

Crazy Rich Asians is an adaptation of Kevin Kwan’s book of the same name. It follows New Yorker, Rachel, who joins her boyfriend, Nick, at his family home in Singapore for the summer to attend his best friend’s wedding. Once she’s there, however, she realizes that his family is extremely wealthy, and her humble roots from a single-parent household might not meet the approval of her partner’s family. The film version stars Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Harry Shum, Gemma Chan, Michelle Yeoh, and Ken Jeong, and comes out August 17.

Check out the teaser for yourself, below. The full first trailer for Crazy Rich Asians drops Monday, April 23.
