Em Busca do Bilhete Premiado (2022)

Funnier than expected

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. I'm not usually a fan of the slapstick comedy which I know is popular in Thailand, so was expecting to find it a bit cringey, but the slapstick comedy was well timed and made me chuckle a few times. The storyline is simple but fairly effective. Acting is pretty decent and comedic timing is good.

I liked that they incorporated some of the social themes and issues in Thailand such as the "rich kid" managing to escape the law (an obvious nod to recent events in Thailand) - played by First who does steal his scenes. I must admit, the boy does have great stage presence.

The story does lose a bit of momentum and steam toward the end. The ending is left a bit open which suggests there may be another film in the works where First's character (called "Great") plays a more prominent role along with the rest of the cast. It would be fun to see where they take it next.

Worth a watch if you have some spare time .
