Rakna 24 Chuamohng (2007)
Plenty to talk about.
While the basic summary of this movie is correct, the real charm lies in the two very different personalities that inhabit Ble (pronounced more like the English word "bun".) The actor, with a little help from the costume department, does an excellent job convincing the audience that Ble A, organized and responsible, and Ble B, a rather charming hopeless romantic, are two totally separate people.
The leading lady's role is decidedly less complex, but she still shines as the attractive coworker tortured by Ble's hot and cold swings. And the three other notable supporting characters, seen in most of the movies posters, are hilarious beyond simple explanation.
All that said, the plot is not always airtight, and even if you have a good understanding of Thai culture, you'll still want to watch this with a friend and compare notes to make sure you understand it all at the end. Between the excellent performances, clever scenarios, and distinctly Thai eccentricities, you'll have plenty to talk about.
