          Crazy Little Thing Called Love tells about the girl have age 14 years, her name is Nam (Pimchanok Luevisetpaibool) who fall in love for the first time with the very good looking boy, Shone (Mario Maurer) as a good looking person, Shone is also nice to every girl in his school. Shone has everything, like : good in sport & arts, great face, and wonderful personality. But Nam, she’s ugly, bad fashion and wasn’t smart.

For her love, she will do everything to get Shone. With her friends, Nam do every ways like buy the love book, give some gift for him, and until try to make Nam become a beautiful girl. Many behaviors and act funny Nam presented throughout the duration of the film. With the help of three of her classmates, Nam like metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a

beautiful butterfly.

          One day, Shone’s old friend moves into their school, his name is Tom . In the reality, Tom fall in love with Nam. Shone and Tom has been friend long time, and they make agreement to not like in same girl. And because of that, Shone was scared to show his love for Nam. He doesn’t want their friendship break.

          After nine years, Nam and Shone never meet again, but their love never lose too. Nam take school in Amerika to become a famous designer, Shone become footballer and photographer. One day they can meet in talk show in television, Nam seem like beautiful adult women. In this talk show, Shone finally can show his love for Nam, “ I still wait someone from Amerika”. This sentence make Nam crying, so romantic atmospher.

For the first time, I think this movie like other movie that have genre romantic. But after  watch this movie, I feel something different. It’s wonderful and amazing, this movie can make me cry when the scene that Shone open his diary, in the reality Shone has liked Nam since long time, when Nam still a ugly girl. It’s so romantic. And not just that, this story tell us about adolescent life, friendship, struggle and other.

But there is something which I don’t like. Her first love changes her so much and I don't like it. I feel like the funny Nam's gone and she looks like so lame, not strong as the Ugly Nam. The story lines's trying to tell that Love can change someone to be the great person if they're able to handle with the right attitude but what happens with Nam? I think that's too much. But as a whole, this movie is a good movie that you have to watch.
