Benyamin Biang Kerok

In my life I have seen quite many Indonesian movies. There have been a few gems, like Arisan or the teenmovie Ada Apa Dengan Cinta. But in general the movies are bad, with a lot of bad acting, overdone shouting, weird and awfull horror (ever since the Japanese movie The Ring got popluar). And the last movies even show some rediculous fake soft-porno.

So, we have a comedy (Indonesians love music and bad humor), and the poster looked promising. Well, don't even bother to go watch it. There is no plot, it even looks like the plot dissapears halfway the movie, and every few minutes you get an episode that is connected with the rest as loose sand. If you think that at the end of the movie you get it all, you are wrong. Even the end in itself is unbelievable. Something like "we cut the movie here and if you dare to return in December 2018 we have the rest of the story". There are maybe 2-3 moments that are really funny, even though you hear people laugh during the movie at the strangest moments, they are not laughing at the real funny moments. So why a review when there is nothing to review? Well, there is one item that returns during the movie all the time that is actually quite nice, and that is the music. Jazzy at times, a tempo doeloe (historic) feeling mixed with some nice dancing. If I would have to rate the soundtrack it might have been a 7 or 8. But in no way it is able to save the movie from being a compleet disaster.

The storyline is so absurd that there is no point at all. It's not even funny.
