This movie revolved around Ramlee (Afdlin Shauki), a Malay boy who didn't have a steady job, much to his mother's (Kartina Aziz) disappointment. It's a case of being at the wrong place at the wrong time. He went to a sushi restaurant offering free food to those who completed the contest (eating a lot of sushi within a minute!), not knowing that he'll have to pay for the food if he didn't finish eating the sushis.Since he didn't manage to eat all the sushis, & worse, didn't have money to pay for the food, he was force to work at restaurant, Boleh Sushi.Honda (Patrick Teoh), the restaurant owner, wanted to join a Sumo competition, but didn't have enough team members. So without telling Ramlee, he secretly enrolled Ramlee in the competition.This is when things got sticky, & funny ! When Ramlee found out about the competition, he wanted out but changed his mind when beautiful daughter, Siti (Inthira Charoenpura), who is half-Japanese and half-Malay, encouraged him to participate in the competition.The movie showed a great deal of places in Kuala Lumpur & Japan. The Sumo wrestling is also highlighted in this movie. All the ethics in the Sumo is shown. It's quite interesting as these things are little known to people living outside Japan. Ramlee & his three friends also learn a valuable lesson, which is Nokotta - fight !1 thing that could have been omitted (or at least minimised) is all those ads. Celcom (a telecommunication provider) & Osim (a massage chair company) advertise heavily in this movie, from the very beginning to the end of the movie, which made the movie lost its charm. My friends told me it is like watching an extended version of ads, & a bad sales pitch at that, too. Even if the director wanted to add ads, it must be done in a way that the ads complement the movie, & not otherwise. All in all, Afdlin Shauki proves once again that he can make a good movie, with storyline that is not too cliché, & contains a good dose of jokes, without missing on the moral values.Nokotta !
