Papadom & Pisau Cukur

PAPADOM


What i can conclude after watching the highly anticipated Papadom is.....a fairytale story which focus on father-daughter relationship! Its a sweet, funny and entertaining film. Again Afdlin is so adorable and funny while Lyana Jasmay is a sweet heart. Afdlin has increase his credibility as a director with this film but still a lot to improve. Selambakodok, you can do better!! Character and story built up is weak. eg: why suddenly the professor eat together with Afdlin in the garden? Sometimes it turns into Disneyish "high school musical" with introduction of the college and the cheerleaders. The finale in the lecture hall is so cliche and again disneyish. I didn't say that Disney film is bad but due to fact that this film wins Malaysia Film Festival, let me wonder...is this the best Malaysia can offer? too high expectation maybe. but nonetheless the film have good entertainment value with a lot of message. Personally i will watch it again. ;)

PISAU CUKUR aka gold digger!
A good romantic comedy/mystery/fashion genre from Bernard Chauly who give us Gol&Gincu before. Its so funny and "gedik" in "legally blond" way but yet we still fall in love with the character. The beautiful Fazura and Maya Karin surely play their role greatly as the gold digger with a "happy go lucky " attitude. Who can't remember; "oh my Dior! Oh my Jimmy Choo! oh my Diane Von Furstenberg!" etc every time OMG words need to be used by Fazura character. All actors suited their role perfectly especially the newcomer playing Faqir, Maya love interest. The interesting part is none of the scene were shoot inside a actually cruise ship! All is a set and CGI. Fantastic! The script is well written without any cheesy line and it was beautifully shoot in realizing the cruise atmosphere. For the girls, i think you will love all the props, cloth and accessories they used in this film. The only critic is if only the mystery and detective part in this film were given a little bit more spice and excitement... sure will be more entertaining. Go and watch this film and continue supporting Good Malaysian Film!


Panas!!
