Since I saw the trailer MONTHS ago, this has been on my Plan-to-Watch list for a long time. I'm so glad I finally found some time to watch it! Story: The idea of a soldier coming home from war and not realizing that his wife has died sounds like it would make for a real tearjerker. BUT this movie somehow hits all the right marks to make it comedy gold! Acting/Cast: The cast makes this movie great! If it weren't for Pee Mak being so incredibly naive and trusting, most of the jokes would have been dead in the water. And, even though the friends catch on quickly, the characters and their methods of proving Nak is a ghost are just as foolish. There is a charades scene and their behavior afterwards had me crying from laughing so hard! Don't let all the comedy fool you though. The underlying heart at the end of the movie will have you crying from all of the heart-felt feels. (make sure you watch after the credits to, because everyone's life afterwards is just as funny as the rest of the movie). Music: When even the characters comment on the ominous music that sounds when a 'ghost' appears, I could care less if the music was good or bad. It added to the comedy, so I'm happy! Rewatch Value: Although it doesn't really say, a major part of the fun for this movie is trying to figure who is really dead/a ghost. Once you know that some of the joy is lost. But if you found it as fun and enjoyable as I did I can totally see making this a weekend re-watch with a big group! Overall I really enjoyed this. The only reason I gave it a 9 instead of higher is because I'm not usually one for the over-the-top comedy genre. I like subtle comedy that is woven into stories and make serious characters into fools for a little while...and this was not that at all. So the fact that I liked it as much as I did is a huge deal all by itself. So if you're in a fantasy, romantic, funny kind of mood give Pee Mak a try.
