Not usually a huge fan when it comes to films about making films. Even less a fan of gimmicks in films. But they are used so masterfully here that I couldn't resist finding them endearing and even appealing.
I absolutely adored the parts where Bagus would say what he wanted done in the film, then it would be done. "Imagine in black and white." Abracadabra! Done. Even more amazing when Cheline did it late in the film, "What about racing drones?" Done! "Then the audience would be confused as we scale the building, then it would rush down to chase us from behind, then swing over to a front angle!" Check, check, check! "How about we movers behind her, to show the change?" Voila!
Most of the comedy was obvious, which made it all the more ingenious to leave the Cheline Dion one completely deadpan delivery every time.
Maybe I'm weak to have fallen for the cheap gimmicks and romantic comedy tropes. So be it!
