Senator Rosana Tositrakul’s debut film, Dude, Where’s My Cash, offers hilarious moments even as it suffers from a pretty bizarre premise. In a nutshell, a gang of knucklehead thieves are offered 120 million baht if they rob a prominent politician’s house—but not before they plant the money in his living room first, then steal it. It’s absurd, it’s completely over-the-top and, of course, it’s comedic gold as the plan goes horribly wrong. Here is one of our favorite scenes, where the gang leader attempts to explain his plan to his goons.Wise Guy Weerasuk: OK, guys. Here is 120 million baht. Mr. Brown, you will be driving…Mr. Brown: Wait, we have the money? Why the fuck are we here?Wise Guy Weerasuk: This money belongs to someone. We have to steal it first. Mr. Pink…Mr. Pink: But why am I Mr. Pink?Wise Guy Weerasuk: Because you’re a faggot, OK?Mr. Brown: Can’t we just steal the money now?Wise Guy Weerasuk: You can, Mr. Brown. But then I’ll have to shoot your fucking brains out.Mr. Brown: Mr. Brown? That sounds too much like Mr. Shit.The framed politician finds the money in his home and decides to keep it, prompting a night on the town of Hangover-esque proportions. But the following day, the money is gone. And shockingly, that’s where the fun ends. (Despite a laugh-out-loud funny scene towards the end where Mr. Brown smokes crystal meth as his wife posts the picture on Facebook.)What follows are uninspired caricatures: benevolent statesmen, mildly retarded police officers and Laotian country bumpkins, with whom Wise Guy Weerasuk goes into hiding. Rosana tries too hard to make us connect with the slightly crooked but oh-so-human politician as he sees the error of his ways, but the thieves somehow come across as much more likable. In the end, through a deus ex machina we won’t reveal, the small-time gangsters land in jail, the politician is saved, some of the money is retrieved and a lot of peasants in Laos end up with BMWs—as if to apologize for the free-wheeling craziness of the movie’s first half.
