I wanted to but couldn't!
To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
The story is simple yet entertaining. We may read lot of love story like this in novel from many Malaysian authors and trust me, you may find more than 10 same plot with different names and few changes with the location and storyline but this movie still one of the best. Who didn't like it if Cinderella from novel turn to movie screen? spider man from comic book to real action hero? The same thing happened here and the director did his job well. Wonder why his other movie turn out bad, i mean lack of idea. I hope he can produce more better movie next time. This one is one of an example that Malaysia can produce something beautiful with romance genre. I give 9 out of 10 for this movie.
