The movie started really great. I was hooked from the first few minutes. As the acts were superb. Especially who acted as Teguh and Gepeng.
My excitement raised. I was eagerly waiting for what next.
But after the first stage show when Gepeng bursted into the frame, everything went downhill.
The plot was too slow. The comedy was not really funny and clever. It was kind of disjointed segments, trying to tell story of each character, but in no coherent and engaging way.
If it moved faster with much better editing and focuses on real big plot, then it could've one of the great biopic Indonesian movies have ever made.
The cinematic was actually great. The set, the prop and the costumes were spot on. Harks the golden era of 70-80s. And love the scene where Pak Harto and Bu Tien appeared.
At start of the movie, I was wondering why movie this good wasn't much appreciate. However, after watching until the end, I could understand if Babak Kedua (the sequel) would never been made.

I came to watch this movie because I watched Ernest discuss his movies in Pandji's vlog. He mentioned that his recipe for making good movie is "relatability".
You have to make something relatable to life of common people.
And I think that's the strength of this move. As father of teenager in Jakarta, I can relate the problematic in growing a millenial. Also I can relate how work deadlines and schedules took away something that is most important to us: quality time with our loved ones. Although it is a cliche, but the movie then becomes real and resonate strongly in your heart.
And I always love how Ernest build dialogues in his movies. Always sound real, although you know the jokes are made up. And to have those stand up comedians appear as cameos (or supporting acts) always bring fresh humor to his movie.
Finally, another entertaining movie, with full of messages to audience - delivered in strong power of relatability.
Can't wait to see Ernest's movie again.
