Namo OK
Right, well as I sat down in 2021 to watch the 2014 Thai comedy "Namo OK" for the first time, I was under the impression that I was in for a comedy. Especially since the movie had the words "ridiculously fun!" brandished on the front of the cover."Ridiculously fun!", yeah, that might be overexaggerating it quite a bit. This movie wasn't even remotely fun. I didn't even laugh a single time. In all fairness, it should be said that I only managed to sit through half of the movie, then I just gave up on it out of sheer and utter boredom. So if the funny parts were left in the second part of the movie that I skipped on, I don't know. Nor do I really care, because this movie failed to entertain me on every level.Director Thitipong Chaisati just didn't manage to come up with a movie that provided me with any entertainment. Perhaps you need to be Thai and well-traversed in the Thai culture and be familiar with the Buddhist traditions and world of monks, I don't know. I do know, however, that the movie was a massive swing and a miss in terms of entertaining me.The storyline told in "Namo OK" was insanely slow paced and even more so devoid of anything fun or interesting. So yeah, it was a massive struggle to sit through half of the movie. So giving up on it was not something that required much convicing.I am sure that the acting in the movie was adequate, but I wasn't really paying much attention, because the storyline was just a heap of rubbish.I am rating "Namo OK" a generous two out of ten stars, based solely on the production value of the movie.
