Feedback and reviews
The
film got the good impression and positive reviews from critics and audiences,
despite being filmed with an average budget. In Thailand, the film placed in
3rd place from its weekend gross in almost a hundred cinemas in Thailand, then an impressive up to 2nd place on the next weekend behind Kuan Mun Ho. The other two movies (including Toy Story 3) simultaneously released with First Love dropped to 3rd and 4th
respectively. The film managed to maintain its position in 3rd place the
following weekends and stayed inside the top 5 for six consecutive weeks. The
film was shown in cinemas for nearly ten weeks (until October 2010) - making it
one of the longest running movies in Thailand cinemas. In total, the film got
an excellent gross of $2,659,443, becoming 8th highest gross movie of 2011
(beating Prince of Persia, The
Chronicles of Narnia, Inception, Step Up 3-D, Alice in
Wonderland, Tron Legacy), and the second highest grossing local produced film in Thailand.
By
early 2011, copies of the film were uploaded on the Internet. Several countries
got interested to get the rights to broadcast or release the film. Since then,
some audiences got also a high interest to watch the film in their countries.
In the Philippines, the movie made a high impact to viewers after it was dubbed in
Filipino and shown on free TV on June 5, 2011 on ABS-CBN, where it dominated the daytime viewership ratings, both in Manila people ratings and household ratings and Nationwide ratings. Just 2 weeks after it was first shown on free TV,
on June 20, the film repeated in afternoon slot. The movie block time slot got
the highest rating compare to its counterpart programs.
