2gether: The Movie (2021)

It's good, but nothing special.

As a foreword, 2gether is my first BL series that I watch and I love. I laughed, cried, crazed over the love story of Sarawat & Tine... Like many of the big fan of the series, I was expecting for something special.. But unfortunately, with all due respect, I have to answer my reaction at the ending of the movie was: "just it?"

About 90% of the story is (as expected) repackaged of mostly the first 9 episodes of 2gether the Series, along with some short scenes that weren't used in the original. Some scenes were timelined different than the series, which can raise some eyebrow but either way it doesn't bother. What made it different is the point of view. It was first Tine and then Sarawat that narrates their love story and personal feelings that were never been told on the series. This part gets to focus only between Sarawat and Tine, and how did they become boyfriends of each other (Remember that they become boyfriends at the beginning of episode 10, so almost every episode beyond that are skipped. Moreover, 'Still 2gether' sucks.)

Then the last 10% is the new scene and story that goes beyond the ending of Still 2gether. It's really nice to see almost all the cast come back in one; it was fun that they tell everyone is "still 2gether" even after many, many years; but the vague fate of the relationship between Sarawat and Tine itself that raises a little bitterness inside all the happiness and smile that they can offer. The trailer subtly hints and leads the viewers to think it's going to be a certain milestone on their relationship – it turned out to be just another sweet moment between Sarawat and Tine which is a little bit disappointing (but it's still cute either way).

I must honestly say, if you never watch 2gether, don't use this movie as a shortcut. All the fun and sad, ups and downs between Sarawat, Tine, and their universe definitely needs more context – if you choose to jump right into the movie you'll find..just two boys reminiscing their college love life??? All the visual and sound retouch were pretty hit on, but without better understanding between the roller coaster at the start of their love life is, the movie can bore you out. And it's better to scream when you're on the roller coaster, not when you're watching it.

The movie was pretty much designed as a little gift for 2gether fans, I suppose, but I think the gift were too small. It would be better if they dare enough to call for a big milestone, or maybe GMMTV can just make a movie with completely new scenes and canon. The original series were rated 9/10 for me, the sequel is 6/10, I give the movie 7/10.

waste of time

They barely filmed anything new for this movie, it's just a bunch of scenes and flashbacks from the series so it got me very disappointed. ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Not sure what the point was.

I loved the series, so of course I loved the movie, even though it was a recap. There is very little new footage, and, frankly, I was a little disappointed there wasn't an engagement. I really thought that was what was going to happen. No real rewatch value as there's nothing new to see except they graduate. Not even a new kiss.
But other than revenue, what was the point? I mean, they didn't get engaged, we don't learn anything new about them as a couple except they get a dog and feel they'll be together forever. No real scenes added. We did get to see a moment of TopTap and others and a couple of friends had a baby, but none of that merited calling it a movie, imo.

Bittersweet ending

If you've watched 2gether: The Series and Still 2gether, then just skip to the last couple minutes of the movie since the rest of it is just a clip compilation recap of everything that happened in S1 and 2.
In the last few minutes of the movie where we see them at their graduation, it hit me how far these characters have come especially Tine and Sarawat from who they were in the beginning of 2gether: The Series. Watching them through the montage of them after graduation was so cute and for a split second I thought the baby was theres but its not. Still, I've really grown to like Sarawat and Tine and will miss them. It was so fun watching the shows and I will definitely be rewatching s2 (I've reserved my opinions on S1 in my review). Despite a lot of the flaws the shows have, I've grown attached to the couple and will enjoy rewatching my fave clips. 2gether trilogy may not be the best BL drama out there but I like to think that Tine and Sarawat are one of the best couple

It was a nice wrap up for 2gether and Still 2gether

I was finally able to sit down and watch this movie. And I am glad that I did. I never realised how much I missed these guys until I was watching the movie. I am now glad that I was able to see Tine and Sarawat's story come full circle.

Story-8/10
Yes. The majority of the movie is scenes from '2gether' with a pinch from 'Still 2gether.' And I know some people maybe angry at this. However! I felt with the voice over added to the story, we are able to clearly see how both Sarawat and Tine was feeling- which we weren't before.

And some new scenes were added, which I am grateful for. This helps me get a better understanding of thier love story.

Acting/Cast-9.5/10
Like in both '2gether' and 'Still 2gether ', I will give this movie a 9.5 out of 10 for thier acting.

Music-10/10
As always, the music is a banger. Watching this movie made me fall in love once again with Scrubb. And the last song Sarawat signed...just perfection!

Rewatch Valu-8/10
I'm going with an 8. Cause thia movie not only (kind of) gave me a recap of thier story, it was also able to wrap up thier story so nicely.

Overall-9/10
Overall, I give this movie a 9. And I know some people will be dissapointed with it cause this was not what they were expecting. However, I did enjoy it and I am glad that I finally watched it.

Nostalgic

I know many people couldn't get access to watch this since GMMTV only put to stream for Disney+ in Thailand, but viewers internationally have a hard time being able to watch this and others think that this is a copy of the original 2gether the series with many of the similar scenes. However, the scenes are the same if you have watched the series, but they have cut it shorter for the sake of it being a movie and adding in new scenes as well. Also, in the beginning most of it is narrated by Tine since he is one of the main characters following Sarawat. This time we actually get to hear both Tine and Sarawat's thoughts when they both fell in love with each other unlike in the series where we only got their dialogue. Moreover, some of the passionate scenes that Tine and Sarawat had are more emotional if you are a longtime fan of the series and both Win and Bright. Overall, the movie is really good as it brings more of an emotional effect to it and nostalgia as well.

Wait What happen to...

OK, I've been waiting for this for so long because I wanted to know why Sarawat said: "Keep looking at me like that, and I will kiss till you drop."

Did I miss it? Did he say why he said that or even better how do you do that? (LOL)

If anyone knows let me know at what point in the movie he told the reason.

So for the movie itself:
---Love how they combined both parts one and two by adding in more lengthy scenes.
---Loved the music and got to hear a new song!!! Yes
---Would love to have a wedding movie for them
---The ending was very nice and sweet but would like to know more about their life after graduation.
---Would love maybe a short or special that goes a little more into the other couples in the show.

Would most defiantly rewatch this movie.

Thanks

Still One of the Best

I am sure that there will be some out there that disagree with my assessment. No matter what, this is a great summary of the two series and it helps us see them way into the future. There is just SOMEHING about these two that will forever be enduring and hold a special place in my head (not heart). They for me, define BL. They have done more to advance the whole genre of BL and undoubtedly introduced millions to this form of art. I am without question one of those. I think in a sense this puts to rest 2GETHER as an entity. They will always be 2GETHER even 30, 40, 50 years from now. They have embraced it and accepted it. A fitting tribute to what has changed the direction of BLs.

I, for one, look forward to what they will do in the future either individually or as a couple. Their mark is indelible and kudos for embracing it.

It's all about your expectations!

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...

Esperaba más

La verdad esperaba mucho más, algo más elaborado. Parece que han hecho copia y pega de la serie y después han añadido un trozo de historia nueva a toda prisa, esa es la sensación que me ha dado. La verdad no he disfrutado con la peli. Siento que no han puesto demasiado empeño en ella, una pena porque amo a los personajes y su romance.
Con lo cual me quedo con la serie que me encantó y haré como que esto nunca ha pasado.
Ojalá hicieran un episodio especial pero como dios manda, donde no sólo se enfocasen en Tine y Sarawat sino además en Phukong y Mil.

Schade... schau lieber die Serie!

Ich habe die beiden Staffeln der Serie geliebt. Die beiden Hauptdarsteller harmonieren fantastisch, der Zuschauer fiebert mit. Kein Wunder, dass es viele gibt, die die beiden auch im echten Leben zusammen wünschen ;-).
Ich hatte ein paar Erwartungen an den Film, der stark beworben wurde. Leider konnte er mich nicht überzeugen. Im Prinzip ist es ein Zusammenschnitt von Szenen der Serie nur leider ohne dem Serienzuschauer bekannten Hintergründen. Es gibt kaum Raum um die in der Serie langsam und sehr schön dargestellten Annäherungen zu zeigen. Die Gefühle, die die beiden fürandern entwickeln sind in der Serie zu spüren. Wenn ich die Serie nicht kennen würde, könnte ich mit dem Film nicht so viel anfangen. Es ist eher eine Erzählung, wie es zu den wenigen neuen Szenen im Film kommt, als eine gut erzählte Geschichte.

Ich würde jedem die die Serie empfehlen, da hat man deutlich mehr von!
