What a hilarious movie, but there were some scenes that made me cry, and they weren't tears of joy. The acting is great. It is not perfect, but I really had fun watching this movie, and I sorta kinda relate to Dinda.

Thankfully, my parents are not like Dinda's parents. The people around me are the ones who keep on asking when I would get married, and most of the time the way they pressure me pisses me off. I am so grateful that they are now very tired in asking. Oh well.

Dinda is a brilliant, smart and strong woman, highly appreciated and admired in her line of work. To add to that, she's beautiful. She loves her family so much, but it seems like she and her generosity is taken for granted. Argh. Plus, I wanna kick that Jerry's butt so hard(not the actor, the character---LOL---he's bigger than me---mwahaha---plus, I don't think he's that villainous as Jerry). He's NOT perfect at all! Argh!

BTW, the link above(on top of the poster) is, for me, the best English Written review for this film, so I won't do a review or sharing of observations anymore. Enough has been said.
