`30 Hari Mencari Cinta' (Searching for Love in 30 days) is a cutting-edge romantic comedy for young and fresh audiences. Maybe, because of that, this movie doesn't require a deep character development or complicated plot line. The story goes so simple and so does the characters.
Three best friends, Keke (Dinna Olivia), Gwen (Nirina Zubir) and Olin (Maria Agnes) are making a bet, in 30 days they must have a boy friend of their life. Well, as we can predict just even before the credit title, everything is goes wrong and their friendship is in a stake.
Yes, `30 Hari Mencari Cinta' is routine and by the book and fit all the clichés that a romantic comedy used to be, but Upi Avianto as the director made it with the heart and that make this movie is so enjoyable and I don't feel so deceived by it. Her experiences as a video music director produced a good and beautiful pictures for the scenes, that makes this movie so subtle.
In acting department, MTV's VJ Nirina is performing a good appearance and so does with Maria Agnes, only Dinna Olivia (from Tusuk Jelangkung) a little weak in her acts. The rest of the characters are plays flamboyantly and they contributing the rich color for this movie.
The blatantly vie for a romantic comedy is so obvious in this flick and it's not make it as a good romantic comedy either, but the attempt to create an enjoyable movie should appreciate more form the audiences. `30 Hari Mencari Cinta' maybe light as a feather, but at least still deliver the good times.
