Plain unfunny

The movie is more like a rash edit of various sketches, that for some reason the scriptwriters believe are funny. Acting is OK, but the script of this teenage comedy is a travesty.

Four students are unable to make ends meet. This includes the protest organiser (anticapitalist I believe) Dede Rifai, the ladies boy Kuncoro Prasetyo, the party-boy Gito Prawoto and the ex-rich boy Rojak Panggabean. Trying to find a way out of their financial difficulties they decide to become firemen. The logic? Fires don't happen every day, so they will have time to study between fires. Enter laughter. Or not.

This is one script in need of serious script-doctoring. Or have someone write something that is actually funny...
