Movie Review: I Fine, Thank You, Love You
Movie Review, “I Fine, Thank You, Love You” by Oat Chanukrit Thienkalaya 5604023092
Looking at the strange, grammatically incorrect title, you might think twice before buying a ticket. But let me tell you. You will regret it if you won’t don’t see this movie. The latest movie from GTH has set a new record for the highest sales on the first day. On the opening day, it cashed 125 million baht, beating P Mak Prakanong, the previous champion, by over 50 million baht. Thanks to the power of social media, it seems like no one can stop this moneymaker, either. As the title, “I Fine, Thank you, Love you”, implies, this romantic comedy puts its message across well, i.e., be sarcastic, be fun, and be yourself.
The plot focuses on an English tutor, named Tutor Pleng, who is asked by Kaya, her Japanese student who is leaving for the United States, to deliver the break-up message to her Thai boyfriend, Yim. Tutor Pleng gets into an awkward situation, as Yim, Kaya’s soon-to-be ex-boyfriend, does not want to break up. Instead, Yim blames Tutor Pleng for teaching English to his girlfriend, so she can get a job overseas. Deviously, Yim decides that he will take an English lesson with Tutor Pleng, so that he can transfer his job to the States, in order to get his girlfriend back. Day after day, they meet at a beautiful coffee shop after work, and have English conversations. Gradually, they bond. Without noticing it, Tutor Pleng finds herself in a difficult position as the teacher who has fallen in love with her student.
The leading character, Tutor Pleng, starred by “Ice” Preechaya Pongthananikorn, is pleasantly charming. Her acting deserves high praise. She does not have to put out a lot of effort to play this role. In fact, she is playing herself, very natural and believable. Her English accent is just music to my ears. There is no doubt that she could be a real and famous English tutor. Sunny Suwanmethanon, who plays “Yim”, a factory worker in a Japanese
