“I was told that the 2016Thai comedy u0026quot;Like Jazz 4Gu0026quot; (aka u0026quot;Joking Jazz 4Gu0026quot;) was a funny and enjoyable movie, so of course I had to sit down and watch it as I had the chance in 2021.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSure, I had never even heard about the movie prior to sitting down and watching it. So I didnu0026#39;t really know what to expect from writer and director Poj Arnon.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd let me just say that I was waiting for the funny moments to show up in the movie, and I waited and waited. But it just never showed up. Perhaps my particular preference of what is considered funny in a movie is different from a native Thai personu0026#39;s opinion. At least the things in Poj Arnonu0026#39;s u0026quot;Joking Jazz 4Gu0026quot; just didnu0026#39;t appeal to me.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI wanted to like the movie, I really did. And I managed to sit through it to the end. But the movie just never really managed to get a hold of me and entertain me. So it was a long and boring time to sit through the movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt was the storyline told in u0026quot;Joking Jazz 4Gu0026quot; that just utterly failed to capture my interest. Though the characters in the movie were interesting enough, but they just didnu0026#39;t stand a chance against such a pointless and mundane storyline.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere are far better and more enjoyable Thai comedies readily available. So u0026quot;Joking Jazz 4Gu0026quot; felt like a waste of time and effort for me.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI am rating u0026quot;Joking Jazz 4Gu0026quot; a generous three out of ten stars.”
