This film directed by Upi Avianto is the story of an absurd boss & his employees. With the retro visually appealing, this film is expected to gain a lot of viewers when it shown on cinemas in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore & Brunei simultaneously!
All I can say that this was definitely a funny movie to watch! I'd give 4/5 just because it's simple storyline is punctuated with a sequence of comedic punchlines. From it's beginning till it's very end, the movie never fails to try & evoke laughter. It was packed with humor but with a message of humanity & tolerance delivered in the end. There was also a moment that did touch my heart when Bossman & Diana visited a Welfare Homes for Disability-Kids as it reminds me of my little sister who is also a special needs kid. Eventhough this is my first time watching an indonesian movie on cinema, I found it's quite amusing & I enjoyed watching it! You guys should go & watch it too!
