Metrosexual is a term describing a man of any sexual orientation who spends a great deal of time and money on his appearance and lifestyle. However, in this movie, one might not be able to draw a conclusion on the theme of the movie by its English title as directly as an official Thai title "Gang Chanee Kap Ee-aep," which could be literally translated as "the chicks gang and a closeted gay man."Pom, Pang, Pat, Nim and Fai are five upper-class best friends in Bangkok, Thailand. Fai is married with two boys, Pat is engaged to an older Japanese man, Pom and Nim, still hopelessly single. At one of their frequent dinners out, Pang announces introduces her friends to Kong, a man she has secretly been dating for three months, and who she has agreed to marry. Kong is handsome, cultured, fashionable and seems to know more about cooking and fashion than all the girls put together. The rest of the gangs think that the guy is "too" perfect. The paranoid of their lovely friend getting married with a "closeted" gay man looms in, thus the gang embarks on the quest for the truth. While they are in the process of finding out truth about Kong, they also have to deal with their own life and find that true love for themselves. This is a proof of love, friendship and self-actualization for all. As expected, they find out an old school friend of Kong who it seems were pretty close and are able to save the engagement. It turns out that it is not as of Kong was lying to Pang but he was lying to himself and is time for him to accept the truth.
The movie is not just about homosexuality, it is also about friendship, love and loyalty towards yours friends with homosexuality in the background. From acting perspective, everyone was alright. It was initially very confusing to get in the film with similar sounding names and similar looking faces but after about 20 minutes, it was fine. One big problem for me was that towards the end of the film, the shrill tone of voice of the characters was getting too much to handle and was starting to irritate my ears. The dialogues in the movie are full of sharp and quick-witted quotation.
It was pure entertainment and a good time pass. (6/10)
