Superstars

Film Rattapoom stars as a young man who has skated by his whole life on just his good looks. A stocking-cap-clad hipster, he can dance and choreograph. He’s demonstrating his latest creation, “Kung Fu Hiphop”, at an audition. But it doesn’t go so well – one of his sneakers flies off and hits one of the judges in the face. But worst of all, Film’s character Tom has to speak, and it’s an atrociously grating high-pitched, hoarse squeak that can barely be understood. And it’s devastatingly funny to watch the superstar singer-actor Film carry on in such a way, playing for laughs. Tom is best friends with Teung, who has just lost his job as a telemarketer. Teung is pretty much the opposite of Tom, being, in the words of another of the film’s characters, “short, dark, fat and smelly.” But Teung has a great voice and is a talented composer.
