2nd movie rating, 2nd rave


Hey people, I am back =D... anyways today i will start with my second movie review... I went to catch the Singaporean movie "where got ghost" by Jack Neo yesterday with my family.... and it was really fun.... [SPOILER ALERT] As i will be reviewing it, there will be some parts of the plot being discussed here, so if you really don't enjoy the story being divulged, don't read on XD.....

Ok, I went to the cinema expecting the usual fare of Jack Neo's type of movie (Stereotypically, the filial piety, nonsensical jokes and crazy hokkien dialogue) and yes, it did not disappoint in that aspect.... but, it did not only give that. I felt it gave more than I expected. It had cleverly integrated "morals of the story" into the main plot and gave the short stories some heart.... This movie really showcased Jack Neo's ability in terms of ingenuity, wit and important life lessons. Sounds cool for a Hor-medy right? =)
Story 1: Roadside got ghost
In this story, the characters were con-men who tricked others by using fear of spirits.
Parts I liked: This story had an interesting plot and a very good idea.... the 4D ploy was well thought of and executed. This story had the least number of "scary moments"... although I must admit, the effects were quite nice....
Parts I didn't like: The characters were not well introduced and didn't really evolve as the show went on.... but after saying so, it WAS a short story, so character development is not very easy.....

Story 1: Forest got ghost
In this story, the characters were army men going for reservist training in the jungle and met ghosts in the forest.
Parts I liked: By far, this was the funniest story out of the three.... The two characters had great chemistry and connected very well to make it very humorous.... The jokes like the compass (best joke of the movie XD) and the scene where they were passing motion were witty and well brought across....
Parts I didn't like:The lack of plot.... It was the type of story that you expect a secondary student to have written and got a C6 for....

Story 1: House got ghost
In this story, it was the continuation of Jack Neo's last movie "Money no enough 2".
Parts I liked: This story was the most wholesome and family oriented of the three... It reminded us that peace and safety is the most important... If you watched the earlier movie, you would understand the jokes that were shown.... I like the part where the brothers were saved from a landslide by a vision of their mother' ghost.... that was a very good illustration of life (sometimes it seems like we have the worst life and blame God and our family... then we find out that it was actually for the better....).
Parts I didn't like: Use of a marketing ploy of the girl standing at 45 degrees.... even I could have done that....

Overall, the movie was good fun and a great way to spend time with friends and family... The 3 short stories in one movie is not as confusing as it seems and the computer graphics that were used were better than I expected.... great for a Singaporean film. It's only downfall is that it is not really up to the mark in terms of the number of memorable moments in the movie... (My rating: 4/5 stars)


Anyways, we went to fetch the girls from Myanmar that day and here are some photos ^^:
