Yowis Band (2018)
7/10
The movie is quite good, but the rating is over-exaggerated
19 January 2020
I have to admit that this movie is looking fresh because it is using Javanese language instead of Indonesian language and this is new for Indonesian commercial movies. Javanese language is an unofficial language in Indonesia which is commonly using in Java Island, especially in Central Java and Eastern Java. As an person who lives in Javanese neighborhood (though I am not a Javanese), I can relate to this movie more than who doesn't. The gestures and behaviors of the characters in this movie really familiar to me because I have seen many people like this around me everyday. People who doesn't live in Java may not understand and relate about this movie and ended give a bad ratings or reviews. So, I can say this movie is a segmented movie.

The story is a about the boys who form a music band in order to become popular in school and attract the girls they like. The story sounds so cheesy and belong to last decade, so does the songs and soundtracks that used in this movie, they are outdated too. But, I still like how this movie utilizing stereotype of local people and make fun of it, I also appreciated how they use some local jokes smartly. Beside that, the plot is so standard, you even already forget how the story ended after watching this in short time.
