Eye-popping visuals and cultural gags aside, the main storyline of this movie and it's execution are horrible. Drum battles? Jack Russel Terrier police dogs that sniff dirty underwear and salute signifying they are on the job? Drum sex? Black Ears? Castration = ultimate drum power? Like what the hell did I just witness? I'm sorry, this movie is just not good. Quirky, yes. Off the wall, definitely. Enjoyable.... I guess that's subjective. If you enjoy chaos with not much rhyme or reason then this is right up our alley. If you want your movies to make sense and have a plot line in which you'll somewhat care about seeing come to an end, then don't see this.

I stumbled upon the 2004 Thai comedy "Tawan young wan yoo" (aka "Bangkok Loco") without ever having heard about it, and of course I opted to sit down and watch it given my interest in Asian cinema. And trust me, I had no idea what I was in for here.

Let me say that writer Sompope Vejchapipat definitely put together a very entertaining and unique movie. I was genuinely entertained by what transpired on the screen, and the storyline was very nicely written, with a lot of funny moments, outrageous characters and just delivering a good entertainment all together.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in "Tawan young wan yoo", but then again I am not all that well-traversed in the Thai cinema. But I will say that the cast carried the movie quite well with their performances.

If you enjoy comedies and don't mind something being outrageous, then you should give "Tawan young wan yoo" from director Pornchai Hongrattanaporn a chance. I enjoyed this movie and had some good laughs along the way.

My rating of "Tawan young wan yoo" lands on a six out of ten stars.
