“Everything in this house is gay!” screams a frustrated Kelly Marie Tran, as she tries to de-lesbian her home.

In Andrew Ahn’s remake of Ang Lee’s 1995 comedy dropped its first trailer after positive audience reactions out of Sundance. The film, about a marriage of convenience that hits some snags, stars Tran, Bowen Yang, Lily Gladstone, Han Gi-Chan, and recent Supporting Actress winner, Youn Yuh-Jung.
The Wedding Banquet debuts in theaters on April 18.
