We eat to live and live to eat, food lovers or foodies especially go by the latter mantra. In "Eat Play Laugh", the star is Thailand's famed pork omelette, as it is thanks to this dish that five people with very different characteristics are able to come together and form a close bond over their favourite dish.
Well, I tried to get into the groove of this 2017 Thai comedy, but I just couldn't.First of all, the movie's storyline was just a scrambled mess of a storyline. There wasn't really any particular coherent red line throughout the course of the movie, and it felt more like a bunch of randomly shot scenes at random locations that director Pariphan Wacharanon collected and made into a movie.For the love of me, then I couldn't even relate to a single character in the movie. Perhaps because they were all over-the-top cartoonish or just downright boring and pointless. None of the characters in "Nai-Kai-Jeow" (aka "Eat, Play, Laugh") were more than one-dimensional cardboard cut-outs. And the movie was suffering terribly from that.And it didn't help much that almost every single scene throughout the movie was weighed down with annoying sound effects taken straight out of a 1980s early morning cartoon. Those added sound effects just made it unbearable to sit through an already hideous movie.I managed about halfway through the ordeal known as "Eat, Play, Laugh", then I gave up out of sheer and utter boredom. This movie failed to entertain me on any level. And believe you me, this is not a movie that I will ever return to watch the rest of.My rating of "Eat, Play, Laugh" lands on a more than generous two out of ten stars, based solely on the production value of the movie.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
