So what was I expecting ?

At most, I thought the movie would give us an extremely condensed version of the series with a few new stuff sprinkled at the end. Something like: "They married, adopted three kids, got two dogs, kept in contact with all their friends and lived happily ever after." Then I would shed tears of love and joy and all would be right with the world.

Were my expectations realistic? When I think about it, not really. I wouldn't love this series half as much if they hadn't taken the time to introduce a ton of lovable characters, a lot of ups and downs with some tasty slow burn... all things I love. All things that are not possible to translate in a 2 hour movie, however much I would like the think it is...

So were my expectations met ? Partly.

STORY

Do you like voiceovers? Have you always wanted to know what happened in Tine's and Sarawat's cute little heads as all those scenes we know and love happened (or at least the most important ones)? Do you like both of their voices so much that you dream of having them read you a story while you watch the scenes unfold?
Well look no further: this is the movie for you! Tine first, then Sarawat take you on this brief journey across the most important moments of the series (with some brief allusions to Still 2gether). This retelling is sandwiched between a few scenes of never before seen stuff in the not too far future. The new stuff is short and sweet but it's there.

So there you have it! If you knew the series before, the only interest is the actual voiceover to have some more context in the inner workings of our two adorable goofballs and the new stuff. As a fan, I'll say that it was mostly fun, but nothing more. If you've never seen the series before, THIS FILM IS NOT FOR YOU and I cannot stress this enough.

ACTING

The film consisting mostly of a shorter edit of the series, nothing new there. If you liked the acting then, it's still there with some voiceover on top.
As far as the new scenes go, we see the whole cast (at least I think so) but it's very brief. For all that we see them, they seem happy to be there and that's really all they need to be at this point.
As for the two leads... Bright is an excellent actor in my opinion and he really gives a great send off to Sarawat. Win is there... and that's it. It's still him, but it's my opinion that he was done with Tine far before this film came about. He is not a good enough actor (yet) to hide that he is required to be here but not much else. I found his smiles extremely forced.

MUSIC

Still good. Still familiar. Still there.

REWATCH VALUE

None? It was funny enough to hear the voiceover once and I managed to keep myself entertained until the end of the movie, but if I rewatch it, it'll be for the new stuff. FAST FORWARD BABY!

OVERALL

Set your expectations for this one guys ! We were never gonna get something as good as the series. They told us it would just be a little new stuff and a lot of what we've already seen. That's what they gave us. They even tried to make it feel new with the voiceover instead of just savagely cannibalising the series to make it fit a movie. Let's be happy with that and move on.
We already had 2gether and Still 2gether and now we have this little nice send-off to wrap it all up with a bow. Of course I was a little disappointed, but I'll live. I still love this series and I'll rewatch it many times. But it's time to say goodbye to Sarawat and Tine because Bright and Win won't forever wait for us to move on...
