What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This movie is one of the funniest Chinese comedies I have seen so far. As a non-Chinese, sometimes it might be difficult to catch jokes or humor from a different culture, but that was not the case at all for this movie. The movie is essentially about a two men who are trying to find another man, located in Thailand, to sign a contract. One of the two men, end up running into a simple-minded, younger, gentleman, who ends up following him around -causing extra trouble as they go. Together, their travels become adventures and these adventures are what makes this movie so hilarious. If you are trying to get into Chinese comedies, this will be a good movie to start off with. The humor is creative and full of action.

I saw another review complaining about Chinese people in Thailand and it annoyed me enough that I felt like I should write a review that actually comments on the movie itself. So here goes:I very much enjoyed this film! And although it's not going to win an Oscar, I can see why it was so big upon release. Also, it's about time China made something in response to all the Hollywood equivalents out there.A rather predictable storyline, but the script and the acting will keep you entertained from the get-go. Even though the stories are not exactly similar, the feeling I get from this film is akin to that of "The Hangover" - absurd situations, disaster-moviesque and vivid cinematography. The differences between "Lost in Thailand" and "The Hangover", is that LiT is far more family friendly, and far more emotionally involved. I do feel however, that many non-Chinese, especially Westerners, understandably enough, will not appreciate some of the more China- specific humour. Fortunately though this isn't enough of a factor to stop anyone enjoying it. In fact, if you're willing you might learn something new.Sure, the script and the acting on more than one occasion could be more subtle and artistic, but that's not what this movie is about. It's pure entertainment and if you go into it with your brain switched off and your heart switched on, you won't be disappointed :D

Quite disappointed. It may because I over-expected this movie as its business success in the Mainland market. The previous chapter was very funny and with a meaningful main theme - spring movement. However, this chapter seems lack of a theme. The two main characters had no breakthrough . Even with a new character (Huang), it did not help a lot. The appearance of Fan was expected but it seems that it is the only attractive point of this movie. Interactions between two characters are all expected. The storyline is straight. The movie is not funny at all. Even considering the soft marketing purpose of this movie, Thailand is not look attractive and with its characteristics being captured in this movie.

Seeing as this is the number 1 Chinese film currently, I had high hopes for what this movie could bring. I also heard it was a comedic film, but most of the time, the thought that often crossed my mind was, "Why am I still here watching this?" The two main characters, Xu Lang and Baobao, have an interesting relationship, but every time they argue, it's something quite expected.For me, there wasn't much to the storyline of the movie. It was one argument, then the easy making up, and continuation of Baobao's Thailand checklist. Baobao is not a very intelligent character, yet he's kind and helpful. He's frustrating because he constantly messes up Xu Lang's plans, but he's very apologetic.Also, the resolution of the movie, although happy, was cliché and somewhat boring.In conclusion, take heed when you watch this movie. I suggest not going to the theaters to watch this, but if you really want to, wait till it comes out for rental.
