The Review

This is a movie that relies on local knowledge, from its title, to the plot and actors.

Knowing Henry Thia is acting in this one, I’ve come to expect his usual slapstick and deadpan humor.

Yes it’s can be hilarious, but too much of it can be annoying. Still the film is entertaining without crossing the boundary of being irritating.

The plot is somewhat odd but in local context, it’s not surprising. Watch this with an open mind, and no expectations please.

The Good

• Funny in most parts

The Bad

• Horrible chemistry
• Undeveloped subplot
• Issues and topics related to Singapore, foreigners might be perplexed
