Tears, Tantrums, and Timid Laughter
A comedy without much of any laughs...
I had initially hoped that the movie "Khun Nai Ho" (aka "Crazy Crying Lady") would be more entertaining and funny than it actually turned out to be.
I must admit that from the synopsis, then I was definitely interested in watching "Crazy Crying Lady" as it sounded like a fun movie. But the truth was, sadly so, that this 2012 Thai comedy wasn't really my cup of tea, so to speak.
The storyline just didn't provide me with much of any fun and laughter. Sure, the storyline was adequate in terms of it being written well enough, and having interesting characters. But the movie was just a swing and a miss, as it fell short of my particular comedy that I like.
The movie felt slow paced and rather uneventful, which ultimately led me to grow bored with "Crazy Crying Lady".
Sure, they had a good ensemble of actors and actresses to portray the various roles and characters in the movie, just a shame that the storyline didn't prove all that interesting or funny.
This is not a movie that appealed to me, so it is not a movie that I will be watching a second time around. Nor do I consider "Crazy Crying Lady" as a milestone in Thai comedy cinema.
I am rating "Crazy Crying Lady", from writer and director Rergchai Poungpetch, a less than mediocre four out of ten stars.
