Ali & Ratu Ratu Queens

1. I was expecting that this movie would be fun. I thought this movie would give me a really good chemistry between Ali and the queens (aunties) because the title of this movie is Ali & the Queens. Turns out it's just so so. I can't feel anything. The ending part when Ali gets scholarship is nonsense.

2. I thought this would be a great comedy movie with their great actresses who played the Queens, but their role is not highlighted as much as I expected.

3. I hope Iqbal, who played as Ali will improve his acting skills. I feel so cringe at some of his scenes. His acting is lack of emotion. You can do better Iqbal, I believe that.

4. The last thing that makes me feel annoyed is the cinematography. Their shooting technique doesn't help at all to support the atmosphere in the story sometimes.

5. Big applause to Marissa Anita, who played as Ali's mother. Her acting is amazing. She is the only reason I watched this movie till the end.

The story was so solid, the act was amazing, and the cast was incredible.

Overall, Ali & Ratu Ratu Queens is a basic Indonesian drama comedy, it's funny, heartwarming, and a bit romantic with beautiful visual and nice soundtrack, although the story is generic, mostly predictable and lack of developed conflict but its still fun ride and enjoyable to watch. Recommended! Thumbs up!

I'm gonna say maybe it's too much to give this movie a solid 10/10 but I gave it a 10 because I don't want an anti family drama ruin the rating. This movie was amazing, a fun ride but emotional at the same time. Shoutout to all 4 Queens who made my day!! They're so good I SAID WHAT I SAID. This is not typical Indonesian drama, it's simple but HIT THE RIGHT SPOT. So much fun and I didn't realize that the movie was 100 minutes length. PROUD OF YOU GUYS.

It is a decent movie; the plot is good and the performances are passable; it is unpretentious and very forgettable.
