PLOT PREAMBLE

This romantic comedy focuses on a perky English tutor named Pleng, who is requested to do a strange favor by one of her slutty students – to help her dump her ex-live-in Thai boyfriend, Gym. She offers her new designer bag in return. It’s good riddance to bad rubbish, she assures Pleng.

But when Gym discovers that Pleng is the cause of his heart-wreck, he insists that she coaches him English so that he can woo his wayward gal back.

At the same time, Pleng has fallen for another one of her handsome students named Pruek who showers her with endless gifts.

Most scenes are laugh-out-loud hilarious and, in this case, there is no concern by the audience over lines getting which may be lost in translation.

Most of the jokes are created from ribbing the English language. And vice versa.

It helps immensely that the ensemble cast perform admirably. We applaud them for their power of characterization.

It helps that the three leads are so likeable and Suwanmethanon, a classic good looker is hardly the prince charming here, playing a foul-mouthed mechanic.

Yet, there is latent charm in his sincerity to better himself at the workplace and as a boyfriend.

It is entertaining enough just to watch the pair (with Ice-Preechaya) bicker incessantly, whether they understand each other or not.

Go watch this feel good movie that admonishes us not to take things seriously and always to be kind.

This Reviewer loves this funny movie.

It’s like telling you that Spring has eventually arrived.

Don't they always do?

RATING: 4 out of 5.
