Not Bad

[ini_ynti-22457 · 6/10 · 23 July 2019]

Raline Shah is too beautiful and stylish to be a poor girl. Her face just couldn't lie. I like the younger brother, though. He's the most natural character in this movie. Yes he's fat but I've seen a poor fat boy. Although I didn't really like the story, but thank you for the philosophy. I need this as my reminder.

Good, but not that great!

When the first trailer came out, I think the idea of this movie is really interesting. An ordinary family suddenly become very rich because of something unexpected happen to their life is a fresh idea that you rarely see in Indonesian comedy movies. With that idea, we already can wonder what will people do with their money if they suddenly become very rich. I have high expectations from this movie because it is written by Joko Anwar. Also, Ody C. Harahap in the director seat is interesting as well because last time I am so impressed by his movie Sweet 20. But this movie could not fulfill my expectation, the execution of this movie is rush and weak. There are some scenes that I think would be interesting if it is included in the movie instead of being cut out. The sound volume of the dialogues in this movie is very low in some scenes, the background music sound even louder than the dialogues sound. The conclusion of this movie is also not satisfying and not clear to me.

But this movie not bad at all, the casts are pretty solid. Their characters are relatable in our daily life. You can easily found the people with the same character in this movie around you. The best character in this movie is Cut Mini which has a very interesting character as the real "emak-emak", also we rarely see a good performance from Derby Romero in nowadays movie. Raline Shah's performance is great as well, I think she is not suitable at all as ordinary people because basically she is already that beautiful. Although this movie can be better, we still can enjoy this movie because it is really light and fun.

Bring parenting to the new level

I'm not going to say that this movie can be a good parenting reference, but I think how this father raised his family is good.

They also bring several issues that not only occur on rich family, but also in decent family on this recent era.

Simple and has a good message

Background of the story really simple, and i can related myself with this movie. The money we have will never be enough if we cannot control our unlimited desire.

I want my 2 hours back!

This movie is a mediocore drama created by someone who clearly didn't understand how society works nowadays. The writing of this is the worst that I've ever seen in my lifetime. Instead of serving a moral lesson to the viewers, it is voided by a very obvious plot hole.

absolutely beautiful

[jelassienis · 10/10 · 4 January 2023]

This film showcases how capitalism corrupts even the humblest of people, how money is nothing and that greed is within us and cannot be erased, being a part of the human being. I loved it especially for the fact that it shows how a noble family can get hold of riches and capitalism. I liked the part where mom finally recovers the necklace as a sign that greed has not abandoned her. I must say that the director has very well represented the euphoria of being momentarily richer than the rest of the population, as it is to feel superior, but in the end the film teaches us that poor we are, and poor we remain.

Beautiful!
