I sat down to watch the 2011 Thai comedy "Hor taew tak 3" after having seen the 2009 movie "Hor taew tak 2". But, in comparison to the predecessor "Hor taew tak 2" from 2009, then this 2011 movie titled "Hor taew tak 3" was lacking something crucial. The movie felt more random and not properly constructed, so writer and director Poj Arnon didn't really manage to capture the magic from the previous movie.
The storyline told in "Hor taew tak 3" felt chaotic and somewhat erratic, and it made for a less entertaining movie. Sure, it could be watched, but it just didn't really stand as tall as the predecessor. Writer Poj Arnon failed to make me laugh with this particular comedy.
And the whole spoofing "Twilight" with the vampires and werewolves just didn't really work well in favor of the overall feel of this movie.
It was nice to see most of the cast from the previous movie return to reprise their roles in the 2011 movie, and that definitely added some sense of continuity to an otherwise chaotic storyline. And, as in the 2009 movie, then the character gallery in "Hor taew tak 3" is great, and it is fun to revisit these colorful and memorable characters.
"Hor taew tak 3" is watchable, but it wasn't an outstanding movie experience. And I doubt that I will actually ever return to watch it a second time.
My rating of "Hor taew tak 3" lands on a four out of ten stars.
