“Well, I tried to get into the groove of this 2017 Thai comedy, but I just couldnu0026#39;t.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFirst of all, the movieu0026#39;s storyline was just a scrambled mess of a storyline. There wasnu0026#39;t really any particular coherent red line throughout the course of the movie, and it felt more like a bunch of randomly shot scenes at random locations that director Pariphan Wacharanon collected and made into a movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor the love of me, then I couldnu0026#39;t even relate to a single character in the movie. Perhaps because they were all over-the-top cartoonish or just downright boring and pointless. None of the characters in u0026quot;Nai-Kai-Jeowu0026quot; (aka u0026quot;Eat, Play, Laughu0026quot;) were more than one-dimensional cardboard cut-outs. And the movie was suffering terribly from that.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd it didnu0026#39;t help much that almost every single scene throughout the movie was weighed down with annoying sound effects taken straight out of a 1980s early morning cartoon. Those added sound effects just made it unbearable to sit through an already hideous movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI managed about halfway through the ordeal known as u0026quot;Eat, Play, Laughu0026quot;, then I gave up out of sheer and utter boredom. This movie failed to entertain me on any level. And believe you me, this is not a movie that I will ever return to watch the rest of.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy rating of u0026quot;Eat, Play, Laughu0026quot; lands on a more than generous two out of ten stars, based solely on the production value of the movie.”
