“Well, I had the chance to sit down now in 2020 to watch the 2017 Vietnamese movie u0026quot;Choi Thi Chiuu0026quot;. And I virtually had no idea what I was in for here with this movie, but I assumed it was a romantic comedy.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI must admit that 25 minutes into the movie I was just lost. There simply were too many random characters to keep track of, and none of them were really given enough of a storyline or screen time for me to get acquainted with them. That was a major setback to the movie, because it took away a lot of enjoyment from the movie. It just felt confusing and way too random.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe storyline was adequate enough, I suppose, but given the random chaotic mess of characters, then I quickly lost interest in the movieu0026#39;s storyline, because I literally had only a vague idea of what was actually going on. I had no idea what the writer and director of this movie set out to accomplish.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs for the acting in the movie, well first of all, I wasnu0026#39;t familiar with a single actor or actress that performend in u0026quot;Choi Thi Chuiu0026quot;, so that was at least something. But given the fact that they had nothing to work with in terms of proper characters of a wholehearted storyline, then I must admit that I lost interest in what was transpiring on the screen.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI didnu0026#39;t enjoy u0026quot;Choi Thi Chuiu0026quot; and my rating of it is a mere three out of ten stars. And I suppose you should be Vietnamese to really grasp the concept of this movie and get something enjoyable out of it. A swing and a miss of a movie.”
