To be honest, I didn't know what it was about. I mean local films are always hilarious to some extent, occasionally too slapstick, but usually at least a 6.5/10 for humour (whether dry or not). Haha.
There is something really homely about the whole movie. Everything felt so familiar, and so, so close to the heart, and it was so heartwarming when everyone in the theatre was just laughing out so hard and so loudly and for once, no one was 'tsking' the other, as people do sometimes (for e.g. American rom-coms).
Kudos to the actors who played Lobang, Golden Hair (I forgot his show-name), Aloysius Jin, Alex Ong, Ken Chow. I think they really did a really good job in representing the different kinds of Singaporean guys. I've never been to the army, but I thought the character Alex Ong really did portray the sergeant role really well! Haha.
Somehow the show did remind me of my military band days, where we didn't brush our teeth during camps (because there was simply no time and we had to fall in at the parade square at 6am) , do some crazy shit exercises (push-ups, run 4km, more push-ups, marching), water parade (drink it all up and turn the bottle over your head and not a drop of water must fall out, or you'll have to drink another bottle). An awful, fulfilling but yucky at the same time, period of my life. Haha.
Sooo, no spoilers, but this show's worth about 9/10 stars. The beginning part was rather overdone, too long maybe? Haha but it was really quite funny, with all that stereotypical Singaporean men behaviour when it comes to army and reservice.
A must-watch! This is worth the money. Full-house theatre on a Wednesday evening - that must mean something! Goodnight!
