Featured reviews
The film is not bad, typical of Indonesian comedy films. Focusing on the problem of the main character of this film tells how he continues his job, but he is forced to return to his hometown and work as a substitute teacher. This film contains comedy, drama, a little romance and mystery. Unfortunately, the drama and comedy that is displayed in my opinion is not optimal, the storyline and ending are not quite right, there is cringe comedy at the ending. Apart from all that this film is worth to watch, especially with family. There is a moral message, there is even a little social critic presented in this film.
This movie pretty refreshing among typical indonesian movies in general.
The main cast act really well as teacher named Taat. If he is not like a normal teacher pretty make sense hence he just a temporary teacher
The other cast play very well acting but the movie a bit weak on the storyline, in my view doesn't make sense if someone keeping the money inside school building and has no deposit box (why you guys not store it in bank?)

Guru-Guru Gokil is an Indonesian comedy film offering a fresh and heartwarming viewing experience wrapped in meaningful messages about teachers and the value of education. Directed by Sammaria Simanjuntak, the film stars Gading Marten alongside a lineup of popular local comedy actors.
The movie successfully delivers natural humor, light dialogue, and situations that are very relatable to school life in Indonesia. Each teacher character comes with distinct personalities - from strict to quirky - making the storyline lively and enjoyable to follow.
Gading Marten performs solidly with his unique character, bringing both humor and warmth. The chemistry among the cast flows smoothly, allowing comedic moments to feel genuine and not overly forced.
The film's strength lies in its simple message about teamwork, honesty, and what it means to be an educator. Although certain parts of the story feel predictable, it remains an enjoyable watch, especially with family or friends.
Technically, its cinematography and background score effectively support the comedic and dramatic tones. Guru-Guru Gokil is a feel-good film with light storytelling and meaningful messages, well-deserving of an 8/10 rating.

I hadn't even heard about the 2020 movie titled "Crazy Awesome Teachers" (aka "Guru-Guru Gokil") before now in 2021 as I had the opportunity to sit down and watch it. I briefly checked up on the movie before sitting down to watch it, and it seemed like it was a movie that could prove entertaining.
And I will say that if you enjoy a movie that is equal parts drama, comedy and crime, then "Crazy Awesome Teachers" is a movie that you should give a chance. I must admit that I actually enjoyed the movie.
Sure, the storyline was pretty generic, but at the same time, it actually worked out well enough, because it was nicely written and had a good amount of comedy to it that definitely helped spruce it up.
Now, I am not overly familiar with the Indonesian cinema, so there weren't anyone familiar here in the movie. But I will say that they actually performed quite nicely and brought their individual characters to life on the screen in a good way.
"Crazy Awesome Teachers" is a feel-good movie, and it is one that I definitely will recommend you taking the time to watch, if you want a light comedy with a good story.
My rating of "Crazy Awesome Teachers" lands on a six out of ten stars.

This movie has twist ending, and I like this movie because it has moral messages that can be taken to our life. And it was really fun to watch with your family cause this movie is kinda funny too.
