This is a rom-com that tackles reality of adulthood full of obstacles while still be lighthearted. The movie starts out with a classic expectation of Thai students, and the way adult crushes students' non-traditional hope and dream. And from that we learn about our lead's dream of being a competitive cup-stacker, and the journey to be the fastest cup-stacker.
Unfortunately, that journey included plenty of side-tracking in life, like partner's relationship, family (his mother owns a noodle shop), making a living using his skill, living environments and various chores. All in all, the parts of life that need to be fulfilled, just to continue living his dream.
Yes, there are plenty of parody and imitating filmography from Marvel (the music and scene) to Parasyte (yes, the butlers and maid for the family) to Fast&Furious (if you listen closely to the song lyric and scene shots). There is even an intentional play on English subtitle, where the word is opposite of what it was said. I will say, this film is much more enjoyable when you can understand both Thai and English, while being able to recognize various parody.
Like any good movie that gives us more than seen in the trailer. This film asks us to reflect on ourselves - the value, the belief, and what we take for granted.
