It is just a typical Malay movie

I watched this movie once in television but until now I do not find it enjoyable. The plot seems predictable and dull. Actually this film is about forbidden love between Awie and Erra but the problem is Awie doesn't have steady job that permit him marrying Erra. I cannot accept this film as a good film because the conflict in this film is not challenging. Some elements of this movie are adapted from previous Malay film setting in 1950s and 1960s which starred by late P Ramlee. Awie's stiff act make audience shouting in front of TV. When I watched this movie, 98 percents of my prediction are true. That's mean I don't have to wait until the end if I want to know the ending.

So bad it's a comedy!

The film that started the big money rolling in for Yusof Haslam. Awie, one of Malaysia's biggest rock stars, as usual takes the role of the cool guy who explodes in the end. The end is as low budget as you can get, wrestling in the mud no less....The only character that caught my fancy is the bad guy - Wati's elder brother or something like that. His obscenities hurled at Awie I think just passed the censors :-)
