| Review: This is one of my great memories of the FEFF 2006, when I went for the second time and discovered Thai cinema among others. It took me eight years to find this movie again in DVD and watch it with other FEFF addicts. Even if I didn't get the same sensations as when watching it in Udine and I noticed many cheap aspects (music, actors), I still had a great time. It is a very refreshing cinema different from what we are used to see. I got a bit lost in the story, but it is actually because I was busy not missing the comic situations the maids put themselves into, and the dumb faces they wear all the time. I may try to find the previous movie by this young director who was revealed to Europe thanks to the FEFF: The Iron Ladies. This man seems to like women with character in his movies. |

The story is very original and the characters extremely funny even if very stereotyped. The good intentions of showing the poor girls from the countryside beating (by make fun of) both the city girls and the Western rich woman is nice. The directing, the picture and the props look sometimes very cheap, but it does not make it worse. It is a good movie, so my rating is also 6/10.
