Yowis Ben

So, I think this film is an example of the generif Romcom Movie. The only specialty is Tha Java factor for representating Jaca daily culture. That's it.

After watched it, seems the movie was overated. The start looks great, and then little bit slow in the middle and poor at the end. However, appreciated Bayu Skak as promising young Director, many of scenes really makes me laugh. 7 will be fair rate.

Like the tittle said, i rarely love comedy genre but this movie hit me very well. This movie even use local language called ''Javanese'' which mean very good, i mean this is good way to make people know if indonesia has a lot language and different culture. I want to see more people inspired by this and use their local language too such as sundanese or another local language too.

Story 9/10 This movie about 4 friends that want to be recognized by a lot people. They create a band called "Yowis Ben" which Ben is pronounced as Band in here. I dont want to spoil too much in here but there will be something called "Problem" in here. So better to watch it because i dont want to spoil too much lol.

Comedy 10/10 This is have good comedy, the actor bring the comedy very well. This is maybe the first time i love comedy movie so maybe you can give a try too with this movie.

Music 8.5/10 Have a good music and it really fit to the scene. Since this movie story about their band called "Yowis Ben" so they have their own music that you can find on youtube. Just personal opinion, i dont like just 1 song on here because it doesnt really fit/not my taste for me, but this is just my personal opinion.

Overall i will give this movie 9/10. If you want to find out what a good movie with good comedy and have moral message then this movie is good for you.

Sorry if my english is bad.

I have to admit that this movie is looking fresh because it is using Javanese language instead of Indonesian language and this is new for Indonesian commercial movies. Javanese language is an unofficial language in Indonesia which is commonly using in Java Island, especially in Central Java and Eastern Java. As an person who lives in Javanese neighborhood (though I am not a Javanese), I can relate to this movie more than who doesn't. The gestures and behaviors of the characters in this movie really familiar to me because I have seen many people like this around me everyday. People who doesn't live in Java may not understand and relate about this movie and ended give a bad ratings or reviews. So, I can say this movie is a segmented movie.

The story is a about the boys who form a music band in order to become popular in school and attract the girls they like. The story sounds so cheesy and belong to last decade, so does the songs and soundtracks that used in this movie, they are outdated too. But, I still like how this movie utilizing stereotype of local people and make fun of it, I also appreciated how they use some local jokes smartly. Beside that, the plot is so standard, you even already forget how the story ended after watching this in short time.

Jokes impressed not forced natural sangan but unfortunately the female cast is not good
