Hah I must be super outdated. I only got to watch Jomblo tonite.
I dunno why but it failed to impress me that much, not the way I expected. Okay.. let me rephrase this. It was a good movie but I was expecting good laugh. Instead I got a movie which tries to teach us some wisdom. I would say half of what they say are true but another half are questionable.
Many of the events that take place are not making sense, kinda forced. The case with Febi the mysterious girl is one example. But the worst is the part where Agus asks Lani out for the first time, only to tell her that he loves his 'official' girlfriend and thus he has to end his relationship with Lani, the third party.
His argument, though he tried to make it sound great, is absurd. In all fairness.. he did say that love is absurd. There was simply no chemistry between him and his girlfriend. I find it hard to believe him when he said that "I love her".
The characters are the main problem to me. I just can't feel for any of them apart from Lani and maybe, Agus. Asri was the one I dislike the most. I didn't feel sorry for her even when she was crying and talking about her virginity.
They are ordinary, real, flawed. Yes.. I tend to like this kind of portrayal. But they are pretentiously flawed, in my opinion. Well.. I know that I am a minority here, considering the movie's popularity.
Having said those.. the movie does have some great moments and many funny parts. The best part for me is the one with Agus wanting to have sex with Lani. That "Sorry Gus.. You are too special" message that she left on her door is very good. This couple gotta be the saving grace for me.
Oh well.. it's just me I guess.
