Inspired by a true life story of Top Ittipat, The Billionaire is a comedy drama movie about Top’s troubled teenage life and how he eventually end up being the founder of the popular and tasty “Tao Kae Noi” seaweed now sold in 7-Eleven stores and supermarkets across the world.
Came across this movie at GV’s website and honestly I can’t find much information about it on the internet. Not on Wikipedia, not even on IMDB. All I could find is its official site in Thai language, a few praising comments on its Youtube trailer and finally a decent review on moviexclusive.com. I’m assuming that this is a small budget movie without all the hoo-ha marketing blockbusters usually have, despite that I believe one might leave the theatre having enjoyed and satisfied after watching it. Don’t take my word for it and like all trailers being how they are, watch it and decide for yourself.
So there you have it, our Movie Of The Week goes to The Billionaire but be sure to catch it soon before the screening ends. Check out the movie’s synopsis and trailer below:
