"Her name is Rafflesia Pong, a bottom-ranking arts show host who’s disillusioned with “those over-rated underachievers we call artists.” He’s Eric Tan, a product designer who’s just about to learn that it doesn’t pay to be creative. They both work for FONY, a multinational conglomerate whose mission statement, copied from a Taiwanese company, is to be original."
This movie has been around for quite a while and netted itself a number of awards around the World, oddly enough though it's only launching in Malaysia in May 2009! It's the first Malaysian movie to secure a theatrical release in Italy.
Catch the trailer at youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bX5Jv0Rt9PI&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eshaolintiger%2Ecom%2F2009%2F04%2F29%2Fmovie%2Dreview%2Dsell%2Dout%2D3110u7%2Damusing%2F&feature=player_embedded
Overall the film was enjoyable, it made me laugh and it started out extremely strongly. Some parts were plain lame and too long (draggy in places - fat boy running up the escalator, 2 old ladies fighting for the taxi etc.) and sometimes it felt like it was just trying too hard (heart disease guy).
If u are not as lame, u might just wanna watch it on a DVD instead; but some parts really do make us cry like hell, as it was something new which we can't normally see in the usual comedies. Some said it was worthwhile watching, while the rest said it was a waste of time.
I liked it though; afterall a malaysian movie which make it into Italy. Pls do Support!
