Just Follow Law

Me: What movie are we watching?

Na: Just follow lor (law)

Me: Follow wad?


The show that just came onto the big screen. Directed by our much-acclaimed Jack Neo, this movie is about the civil sector and its web of beauracracies. He even cameos!! Woots! As the doctor who diagnoses the condition that Tanya Chew( Fann Wong) and Lim Teng Zui( Gurmit Singh) are in.

* Warning spoiler ahead.

The movie basically pokes fun at the civil sector. The endless forms, rules and regulations, corporate backstabbing and just plain evilness. Ok, the rules are a bit crazy. They really highlight the endless procedures one has to endure(while carrying it out) just to settle something as simple as turning the air conditioner on after work for some overtime. The crux of the story is the fact that Fann and Gurmit switch souls. So basically u got a Corporate bigshot director who has a personality of a 'beng' and a 'beng' who is apparently too smart to be a beng.
* footnote: Not all 'bengs' are stupid, some are actually quite clever. Please. Thanks. I dun want to get walloped on the street.

Anyway, they switch souls and try in vain to salvage the situation, to no avail. In the end, they never switch back. They just get married. LOL.

Ok, there has been much hype about Fann Wong's attempts to portray herself as a 'beng' e.g. scratching her ass and crotch, sitting as if she couldn't care less and walking in a manner of pomposity that is spewing arrogance. And i have to admit, she did it pretty well.

My best part was when she woke up and went to the loo to relieve herself. Now, the switch has just been made so its a 'beng' soul inside her body. She stands at the toilet, lowers her pants and does her thing. She realises there is a puddle of water collecting on her feet and her pants are wet. She stares in the mirror. Horror floods her face; the same look of horror when u realise ur results suck! (ok, stop reminding yourself that ur results r out on friday!). She grabs her chest in shock! She proceeds to check her vital parts that distinguish the Men from the Women! Something is not right! ( For those lost, imagine u r a guy trapped in a girl's body). She stares at the mirror clutches her face and mutters, ' NABE!'


Classic.
