《泰囧》在压抑的贺岁档期间为观众带来阵阵欢笑，成为华语电影最大一匹黑马。有教授批评它三俗，电影圈的同行们都在分析它爆火的原因……档期、剧情、拍摄技巧？来看美国第一新闻周刊《时代》杂志的影评和分析。
lost in thailand is by any measure a ridiculous movie. two chinese colleagues race to find their boss at a remote monastery in thailand, battling bad traffic, gangsters, a snake, a kickboxer and, most important, each other, all in an effort to win the rights to an improbable invention: super gas, a liquid that turns a little bit of gasoline into a lot. somehow it is doing ridiculously well. with a budget of less than $6 million, the film has earned $193 million since it opened dec. 12, making it china’s most profitable film and pulling in more viewers than foreign hits such as avatar and the third transformers, according to a report in the caixin business journal.
不管怎么说，《人再囧途之泰囧》都是一部可笑的电影。两个中国人，同一个公司的同事比赛谁先找到泰国找到老板。而老板在泰国一个偏远地区的寺庙，他们要面对糟糕的交通、对抗黑帮、大战毒蛇、对决泰拳拳手，而最重要的是，双方都不遗余力要争夺一项发明的授权。这项并不完善的发明叫油霸，它是一种液体，能够使少量汽油倍增。不知为何，这部电影票房好得不可思议。据《财新》商务期刊的报道，它的预算不到600万美元，但自12月12日上映以来，票房收入已达19300万美元，成为最赚钱的华语片，比外国大片如《阿凡达》和《变形金刚3》的观影人数还多。
