Yeongeo Weonjeon Jeongbok (2004) Reviews

AKA "Please Teach Me English". This is the funniest movie I've watched since "Mystery Science Theater 3000" was on air. This is a live action movie with video game graphics, dialogue in comic balloons and animation. Lee Na-yeong, with her full pouty lips, is so cute, goofy and funny and is probably the Korean version of Miriam Yeung. The one thing that would have given this title a higher rating would have been if movie related extras were included. Don't judge the movie based on the DVD cover as it has nothing to do with being a western. It's a modern day story about a group of Korean adults who want to learn English for various reasons. The one negative aspect of the storyline was that the Australian English teacher came off as a rude jerk and probably typifies what Koreans think of English speaking foreigners. The Dolby Digital 5.1 audio option provides great sound and makes very good use of surround sound. As for extras, there are a total of eleven trailers. Definitely recommended.
