Well, the "OMG!" part of the movie's title actually sums up the movie pretty good. But I am getting ahead of myself here.
First of all, I had never heard about this 2022 romantic comedy titled "OMG! Oh My Girl" from writers
Thitipong Kerdtongtawee and Thanaram Prameboon prior to sitting down in 2023 to watch it. I had the opportunity to watch it, and since there are a fair amount of good romantic comedies from the Asian cinema, of course I opted to watch this movie.
I made it 45 minutes into the ordeal, and then I tossed the towel in the ring out of sheer and utter boredom and disinterest in the storyline. The writers really failed to put together a movie with any sense of drive or interesting contents. The narrative was so slow paced that even a dead man would go 'could you possibly crank it up a notch or two?' And the fact that there movie was utterly devoid of both comedy and romance was just a swing and a miss, especially since that was the genre the movie was labelled as.
And it didn't help one ounce that the characters were about as interesting as watching wet paint drying on a wall. I was really amazed that it was possible to write characters so dull and monotonous that they just sucked the will out of watching the movie entirely.
Of the cast ensemble in the movie, I was only familiar with Plearnpichaya Komalarajun (playing June). However, I have to say that the actors and actresses in the movie literally had nothing to work with in terms of script, storyline and characters. So they were fighting an already lost uphill battle.
"OMG! Oh My Girl" is not a movie that I will ever return to attempt to watch. I made it 45 minutes into the ordeal, and with a runtime of 124 minutes, this was just a lost cause. And this is definitely not a movie that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on. Some of us suffered through this ordeal in lesser or great extend, so you don't have to.
My rating of "OMG! Oh My Girl" lands on a two out of ten stars.
