While I'm not a Jack Neo fan, I've watched most of his movies to "support local movies". And I'm glad to have watched this one! I don't think I've laughed so loudly in a cinema. I actually enjoyed this more than the tedious (badly written) 2-hr "Uncharted" that I had watched the day before.
Many have talked about the product placements, but TBH, I hardly noticed the brand names. Even Hollywood movies are less discreet about highlighting the brands!
All in all, while a few bits were, yes, lame, it was generally a funny & entertaining movie for this local girl who, being more accustomed to movies from America & the UK, never thought she would gush about & enjoy a local movie this much.
Some (most?) of the dialogue are very colloquial, so may not be comprehended by those unfamiliar with the Singapore lingo. To Singaporeans, go watch & put a smile on your face, which is much needed especially these days.
