I watched this movie a couple of months ago with my friends. At first I wasn't interested because I wasn't really into Thai movies. But I gave it a try because many friends said it was good. This movie is about an unpopular teenage girl named Nam who has a crush on Shone, a handsome popular guy. It's fun actually to see how Nam is changing into a beautiful girl, because at first I thought it was a completely different person. And also this triangle love between Nam, Shone and Shone's friend. The ending is quite good. I recommend this movie because it's fun, not boring, and just honest. The acting is quite good. For older people and teenage boys, it's still watchable. I actually cried and laughed watching it. Enjoy the movie! Highly recommended

Must say that the film exploded far far beyond my expectations.
It was an excellent combination of comedy and romance with extraordinary feelings.
Baifern Pimchanok Luevisadpaibul gave her Outstanding Performance..It's such a quality performance from young actress like this, she's utterly adorable.. yeah.. what more I can say.
Love Baifern Too Much So Much Very Much Right Now.
This is a film that you can watch over and over and over again and it will never get old.
Worth every currency,dollar,cent.. whatever.
9/10 MUST SEE.

Since watching The Love of Siam (2007), I was slightly interested in romantic films made by Thailand. Moreover, actor Mario Maurer as important here. Acting was good and it deserves the best actor. Here is also a very good actor especially when she turned into someone who is beautiful, very different! In addition, the presentation of the film is flat and easy to understand is perfect. Humor served very fitting. Very good ending. The audience is not disappointed with a fairly long duration. Friendship and sense of romance is very touching. That little thing on my first love is very important, and I never felt it.
Therefore, I gave a rating of 10!

This is a film that anyone can enjoy, provided they leave their own cultural bias' by the door. The story in itself is pretty unremarkable... it's a teen love story, and if there's a way to create something unique in the way of plot vehicles for this genre, I'd like to hear it. What this particular film does, in its own sublime way, is reveal so much about the character and culture of the world's most lovable people. Thais are at once childlike and somber. The inhabit a world that is at once filled with mystical notions and aspirations, and also rife with the most petty and spiteful stereotypes and internal racism.
Nam, the protagonist for this film, is characterized as "plain" and "awkward" in the film's beginning. But she's not... she's a quite pretty young girl. What she's really subordinated by is her Thai features and dark complexion. If you've not lived here, you may be entirely unaware of the social status Chinese features and pale skin award people, and how much shame is bestowed on those who look exactly like the indigenous people of this region. The filmmaker is courageous in revealing this less-than-laudable aspect of Thai culture, with Nam's teacher calling her "dark skinned" in the film's opening moments.
In spite of this honesty, the movie also manages to very lovingly portray the universal extremes of a girl's blooming feelings for her first boy crush, but again very Thai in it's portrayal. From Nam's sizable but immediately recognizable friend Cheer, to her celebratory booty shaking dance moment, there is so much here that is uniquely Thai, and very endearing to those of us who love and admire these warm hear- ted people.
Is the movie overly simple in it's plot? Who cares. This isn't a mystery, it's a very very real portrayal of a Thai girl's fantasy of romance. Everything from the single parent household to the female dominated population speaks of Thailand today.
I loved this movie because it didn't try to be American or European, or another Chinese Kung Fu epic.. it's just a great little story about a Thai girl's dreams.

This is a movie which made pimchanok famous . Though the story not so bad it lacks a certain kind of execution and clarity . Some might even call it uneven or unbalanced . Well after all it's a love story and its watchable and it's a one time movie with no hard feelings and ending in a good way .

Her name is Nam, she is ugly and she's in love with the very good looking boy, Shone.as a good looking person, Shone's also nice to every girl in his school. Shone has everything: good in sport & arts, great face, and wonderful personality and Name has ugly face, bad fashion, and she wasn't smart after all but hey, She's good in English. this movie begins with that terms.
The way's Nam fight for her feeling with comical face, with her small funny group who had been with her since grade 1, is the best part in this movie which can make you laugh so badly and yes, also can make you wanna be back in 17s again (I'm sure of it if you're over 20s like me) After Nam played as a snow white then BAMMMMMM She's beautiful, sexy, hot and also smart. what is it? her first love changes her so much and I don't like it, I feel like the funny Nam's gone ans she looks like so lame, not strong as the Ugly Nam. The story lines's trying to tell that Love can change someone to be the great person if they're able to handle with the right attitude but what happens with Nam? I think that's too much. and YES, I laugh hardly when Nam was beautiful because hey girls, you don't have to be beautiful to get your love and happiness, all you need just like the ugly Nam, She's natural and acts like her self.
I wanna give this title 4 stars but saw how's funny Mario Maurer and Baifern Pimchanok Luevisadpaibul in this movie, I give 2 stars extra. 6 stars out of 10.

While it's been years since it's release. I've only managed to find the time to write a review about this right now. Watching this movie made from Thailand makes me happy to see how inspiring love can be for the youth to love freely. Watching Nam grow up into a lovely young lady, determined to grow closer into love while fulfilling her duties as a daughter to her family.
I'm happy to say that this was definitely a worth while watch. Not to mention the interesting transitions of how her transformation from a young girl into a lovely young woman. While teaching her how to keep everything in balance. And that love may not be always perfect. It is also JUST and that we should always remember our friends regardless of the matters of the heart.
I don't think I can focus much on how the movie is set perfectly but, if I must go into technicalities. I could also share the location and shot angles for this film were definitely amazing. Good job crew! And a huge kudo's to the Director and Actors of this Film.

I think this movie is quite good to kill time if you felt boring with nothing to do. The story is simple but true.The presentation of this movie is flat. The facial expressions of some characters are a little bit exaggerate, but this is Thai style as always. As a matter of fact,I have watched several Thai movies before, some of them have the similar topics, such as "My Girl,Fan Chan". And I think that movie is even better than this one.
I think I will rate the movie 6 if I didn't watch the last part of the movie. In my opinion,the scene of "after couples of years" is really an unnecessary addition. It just makes the movie naive.

" Crazy Little Thing Called Love " is a pretty good school romance movie. And, even though it's oldish, it feels fresh.
The story has its flaws, like the ending and the awkward transition of Nam from the 'ugly' duckling to a pretty girl in a blink of an eye. However, it is fun, with lots of cute moments and some funny parts. The dialogues are clever and entertaining too.
As for the romance, it was adorable, youthful and just right. It had its dramas, but, overall, it was smooth and interesting.
The performances, finally, were all great from everyone in the cast.
So, overall, eight out of ten.

I have not heard of this movie, but was recommended by a friend to watch it. Hence I did, never regretting my decision. Best high school love movie ever. I watched it so many times over the years. Just finished watching just now. :)
Never get bored watching this for almost 50th times in decades!
When my friend introduced this movie to me, I was a little hesitant about the suggestion. This movie has a simple storyline. It describe first love and its cheesy things. Although the story is simple, But don't worry because the transformation of Nam may not be boring and can be a refresher during this film.
Crazy Little Called Love (2010) is a Thailand romantic comedy starring Fern Pimchanok Leuvisedpaibul (as Nam) and Mario Maurer (as Shone). Nam is a high school girl who is secretly in love with her senior, Shone. Shone is a charming 10th-grade-student who interested in photography and football. Aware as not-a-dazzling-girl in the school, Nam, with the help of her friends, try everything to improve herself to get Shone's attention. She start to treat her dark skin and start to study diligently. In this film many conflicts occur, such as the conflict between Nam and her friends, between Nam and Shone, and others. With various problems that occur, making this film more interesting to see. The film ends with a happy ending. All problems that occur can also be resolved properly.
What I liked about the show was how realistic they portrayed someone having a crush and whom, would willingly do the silliest but cutest things for their crush. On the whole, it's not the storyline but the characters that made this show worthy of my praise and time. The story was good, but what made the film worthy of a favourite in my eyes, were the people of the show. The many heartfelt and funny-cute moments, balanced out the movie quite well.
After watching this movie, it is funny to realize how every little thing can make us either happy or worried. Besides that, love can make someone change, either to fit with his/her loved one or to get his/her attention. It's good if the change go to the positive direction. And needless to say, I definitely recommend this show. It's so loveable I wish I could hug it!

The first love I've ever seen in my life is a movie that means something to lovers like me It's the first love movie I've ever seen, and it's a movie that means something to love lovers like me
It's a good movie showing the life of kids these days. It shows what society is like today. It can be used as a parable and to give understanding to our children as well. In real life, children need understanding from those around them as in
movies.
I was fooled by the reviews on IMDb to watch this movie with high expectation but it turned out to be a very lame, bland movie that might only be acceptable or even loved by kids just reach puberty age. The screenplay was badly written, directed poorly and the acting of most actors, teenagers or adult, male or female, were just as bad as you could get. The movie was so pretentiously made, looked forced and phony to the extreme. The acting was just horrible to watch, so exaggerated and so elementary level. The screenplay was also childish and naive. There was nothing worth spending time to write a review. The actress who played Cinderella or black swan was a beautiful young lady. The actress who played as her mother was without any acting talent. There were so many clown or jerk like characters in this movie, classmates, teachers, sister, relatives, so many that just kept deteriorating the whole movie, made it like a poorly assembled "Farce". This movie definitely is targeted for teenagers, especially for those junior high girls who are starting to dream about romance no matter how ugly they are, they would just focus on those handsome boys. I just couldn't comprehend why casting so many ugly young Thai teenage girls to support just one pretty girl. The overly manipulated contrast just made me sick.

The very first time I watched this movie was in my high school days. Before this, I haven't watched any romantic Thai movie. And this movie "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" is an absolute delight to watch. It was Thai romantic comedy film, directed by Puttipong Pormsaka Na-Sakonnakorn and Wasin Pokpong, starred by lead actor and lead actress called Mario Maurer and Baifern Pimchanok Luevisadpaibul, who are now big stars in the world of Thailand's films. The plot is not anything special or out of the blue, it follows usual rom-com setting, that is a girl called Nam, who is shy and ordinary high school girl who has a secret crush on the most popular boy in school, Shone. Wanting to get attention from Shone, Nam tried various ways to get close with him. This movie beautifully exposes the innocence and awkwardness of unrequited love, while also exploring themes of self-discovery and personal growth. I think every girls could related the feelings and emotions of the characters as it captures from the awkward encounter in school corridors to the nervous flutter of first love. I can't help but reminisce about my own teenage years and also it brings the rollercoaster of emotions that come with it like fluttering, happiness or sadness. And the protagonists did very well to portray their own characters without over acting. They simply described the life and the experience of high school girl and boy in order that everyone could relate with them. Besides, the characters of Nam and her girl friends are also the highlight of this film. They are always there for her, whether she needs a pep talk or a shoulder to cry on. It show the importance of friendship as well as navigates the highs and lows of adolescence with humor, grace, and unwavering support for one another.
Although this movie is a great one for me, I don't think everyone will like it or not. I would recommend to whoever likes to watch the genre of high schools, romantic-comedy, relaxed one, it is a must-watch movie. Anyway, this movie is pure gem for me and it is addicting to watch over and over again. Timeless. It is a kind of movie that just makes you feel good inside. It's like a warm blanket on a chilly day or your favorite comfort food. Whenever I rewatch it, I still feel butterflies in my stomach due to Nam and Shone's love story. Everything in the movie seems so beautiful and realistic. Even the dialogue is also great and as for the humor, it describes prone jokes in schools as well as the funny stories between teachers and students. And Nam's awkward encounters with Shone or her hilarious antics with her friends, are also parts of realistic humor.
To be concluded, if you find a feel-good movie that leaves you with a smile on your face and a warm fuzzy feeling in your heart, 'crazy little thing called first love' would be a good option to try. So, grab some popcorn and get ready to fall in love with Nam and her crazy little world.
