Reception

My Boo received generally positive reviews from critics. James Marsh of the South China Morning Post rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, stating that while much of the humor "fails to hit home," the film works best as an unabashed romance. Karina Adelgaard of Heaven of Horror also gave it 3 out of 5 stars, noting that despite its slightly long runtime, the film’s practical and CGI effects were effective, and the chemistry between Sutthirak Subvijitra and Maylada Susri added charm to the story. Ruchika Bhat of Digital Mafia Talkies similarly rated it 3 out of 5 stars, describing it as a “feel-good film with a simple yet engaging plot,” highlighting the innocence and warmth in the romance between the leads and the subtle melancholic undertones beneath the comedy.
