i wouldn't usually watch a local production in a theatre, much less that of Jack Neo's. It so happened that SL had recommended the show to me and my parents also mentioned that they wanted to watch. So the whole family went. i think this is the first time we watched a show together since dunno-when. :)
A typical Jack Neo movie with LOTS of shameless blatant advertising for its sponsors. Had i pay to watch a 2hr long advert? This show is obviously targeted at families and the heartlanders and judging by the crowd in the fully-packed cinema, i think it is quite successful. Money should be enough for the movie makers.
My parents said it is nicer than Part 1 which i don't remember watching. The show is not without merits. Despite the predictable plot, unfunny jokes, bad lines and erratic sound, there are still some poignant moments which are commendable. And of course, the digs at ah gong.
Well, the movie can watch though i still think you could wait for the dvd or for it to be shown on tv. And warning: Prepare lots of kleenex if you are as trigger friendly as me. :p
[Sidenote]: Had chosen the wrong day to watch the show. Should had stayed at home to watch the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics! Caught the beginning and the ending. What a lavish ceremony! This is what i call fireworks!
