Reviews
Critically, "Bangkok, We Have A Problem!" received a largely negative reception. On IMDb, the film holds a modest rating of 4.4/10, reflecting a lukewarm audience reaction. Reviewers have pointed out that while the film had potential with its exotic setting and comedic premise, execution fell short with predictable jokes and thin character development. Critics from sources such as Allociné cited that despite Kad Merad’s earnest performance, the humor leaned too heavily on clichés and lacked originality. Rotten Tomatoes does not have a formal score for the film, indicating minimal mainstream critical coverage. Additionally, Metacritic does not list this movie, which typically signals it flew under the radar among critics. Fans of light comedies or Kad Merad’s work might find small moments enjoyable, but most reviews suggest the film fails to sustain interest due to pacing and uninspired scripting. Overall, the consensus points toward a film that neither strongly entertains nor deeply resonates, making it a forgettable entry in the comedy genre.
