Small Town Rivals (DVD) (Korea Version)
Jang Gyoo Seung, the director of crowd-pleasers Lovely Rivals and My Teacher, Mr. Kim, returns with his new comedy Small Town Rivals. He employs again the comedic charms of “Mr. Kim” Cha Seung Won, who goes even further against type this time as an unshaven, rough-mannered, and very tanned hillbilly. Cha trades verbal spars with comedy regular Yu Hae Jin, who plays it calm and straight as his friend and rival. The two actors previously shared screens in Over the Border and Blood Rain, and their chemistry here easily drives the film. Jang continues to tweak and improve on the winning formula of his last two films, throwing political satire and affecting drama in with slapstick humor and witty dialogue. The director shows a genuine ability to stay in touch with his audience, and Small Town Rivals not only attracted healthy box office numbers, it also garnered him a Best Screenplay nomination at the 44th Daejong Awards.
Dopey farmer Cho Choon Sam (Cha Seung Won) recently became village chief, a position of great importance…in his tiny village. Meanwhile, his elementary school classmate Noh Dae Gyu (Yu Hae Jin) just got elected county magistrate. Choon Sam is rather weary of his old friend Dae Gyu’s newfound success, but he reluctantly re-establishes ties in hopes of getting some public works favors for his village. The upright and good-natured Dae Gyu, however, is working on a tight budget, leading Choon Sam to be even more disgruntled and suspicious. When Dae Gyu tries to construct a nuclear waste disposal facility in the province, Choon Sam leads a demonstration to oppose the project, pushing the friends-cum-rivals into a political showdown.
