Lost
in Thailand (2012)
(Chinese
Film)
Scientist Xu Lang has made a breakthrough in fossil fuel use,
creating an additive that increases the volume of usable fossil fuel,
although it is not yet ready for commercial use. Despite his marriage
being on the brink of breakup, he takes a trip to Thailand to
convince an investor to back further funding. Once in Thailand he
realizes his colleague turned nemesis Gao Bo is attempting to reach
the investor before him, so he can sell the additive as-is. Xu Lang
uses the simpleton Bao Bao who had been sitting next to him on the
plane to try and throw Gao Bo off his trail. Instead, Xu Lang loses
his passport and has to rely on Bao Bao to travel around Thailand,
and wacky escapades ensue. Will Xu Lang reach the investor before his
nemesis, or will Bao Bao lead them into disaster?
*I
would classify this film as a bromance action-adventure with some
comedy. Ir's also definitely at least a PG-13 rating for situations
and language, and while the scenery is interesting and beautiful, I
probably wouldn't watch this again. I think it's supposed to be more
of a comedy, but I don't think all of the humor translated. I
probably won't watch this
again.*
