‘Long Rui’ has a distinctive Hollywood comedy style 2
After the Tet movie season, Vietnamese cinema has 4 more movies in theaters this year: Bi, Don’t Be Afraid, The Order of Wiping Out, Saigon Yo!
The main character of the film is Teo (played by Thai Hoa), a `two-rice` guy who sells banh xeo in the countryside and is determined to go to Saigon to find a chance to change his life after losing his girlfriend to a rich overseas Vietnamese.
Thai Hoa portrays the role of Teo, a naive and lovesick pancake seller.
From a poor country chef, Teo quickly jumped into the luxurious life of the upper class with branded goods, 5-star hotels, millions of wine, long legs, disciples, cars with private drivers… Teo
Last April, director Charlie Nguyen created a turning point for Vietnamese entertainment films with the romantic comedy De Mai Tinh.

Built in a different style than De Mai Tinh, Long Ruoi has a bit of a `rough` Hollywood comedy, causing laughter through ironic and unexpected situations.
Thai Hoa portrays two images in Long Ruoi, one is a naive and clumsy chef and the other is a `screaming fire` big brother of Saigon’s gangsters.

Supporting actors such as Phi Thanh Van (as Bich), Bui Van Hai (as Tien) or Khuong Ngoc (as Khac, Long Troi’s rival) also initially impressed the audience.
Although it more or less satisfies the entertainment factor needed in a comedy, Long Ruoi’s script has many unreasonable places.

However, from the perspective of a fun, entertaining movie, Long Ruoi will still satisfy and bring laughter to many audiences.
Long Ruoi opens in theaters nationwide from August 26.
