Review


If you watch Jack Neo movie, you will know it is a Singaporean movie. The same goes for a Malaysian movie, you will know it straight away. The movie is fun to watch with humorous and emotional moments plus interesting love relationship. 


As always, the secret of a successful movie is a cast of actors and actresses from different countries. In this movie, we have casts from Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan. 


In fact, this was the first time I watch an awkward scene in a movie. Imagine a wedding ceremony on a standstill with a quarreling couple as part of everyone focus point . How will the wedding couple feel. I think the director did a great job in creating such an awkward scene in the movie. 



As usual, each characters in the movie has a unique behaviour. It is a joy to see some of these interesting characters in the movie. In fact, they are the ones who never fail to put a smile of our faces. 


The whole movie is well directed and creatively executed. This movie is well paced which does ensure a smooth flow of the story line. Although the story line is not new but it is well organised. Another thing about the movie is that you get to enjoy many of the old hit songs. 

In addition, they also include two Malaysian medal winners athletes to act as a couple in the movie. 


The actors and actresses did well in this movie. I shall give a rating of 3.8 / 5. Worth watching ! The movie will be showing in cinema from 30 March 2017.
