First Love better known as Crazy Little Thing Called Love, is a 2010 Thai romantic comedy film and also a 2011 Asian sleeper hit film starring Mario Maurer (of the Love of Siam, Friendship, Bangkok Kung fu, Rak Sud Teen) and Pimchanok Luevisadpaibul.
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.
