awfully made movie

Warning: Spoilers
This movie is awful. Here's the reason why: 1. Chelsea Islan. If you say that she's beautiful. I freaking agree with that. But, for me, her acting is so-so. And in this movie, her acting is not even good at all. I was cringing the whole time when I watched this movie. She was exaggerating her expressions. Not natural at all. Her character wasn't even believable. Make me question how come the character of the real Merry Riana. 2. Inaccuracy of time. They said that this movie background time was 1998, but how come suddenly appeared smart phone, marina bay and Singapore flier in 1998? That was too much for me. 3. Product placement. It so annoying, almost feels like this movie exists to promote that product alone, really, if Merry was really broke that time and went to Singapore in emergency, why she's still has time to packed cosmetics? 4. Plot holes. 5. Nothing inspirational about this movie.

Okay, that's enough. I kinda sick of people that blind enough to give this movie a 10 without any reason that makes sense. And I apologize for the grammar mistakes above, I just want to state my opinion here. And also, English is not my first language.

Yikes.

This is an awful movie, played with cringey actors and actresses, with a weird storyline that doesn't make sense at times.

The acting of the main female character is horrible, even though I can't deny that she's one of Indonesia's prettiest actresses. But she just exaggerates her actions A LOT. She actually just does basic little things like running and such, but I couldn't help but to cringe. Her actions are too much it burns my eyes. Although the main male character's acting is not bad, but I don't see the chemistry between the two. It feels so forced, although supposedly, they are in love or something.

And while the acting is horrendous, the story is something else. The story starts out nicely, like in Indonesia there was some sort of chaos where Chinese-Indonesians were racially-profiled, in which it led to theft and abuse to the specific race. So, the girl, being a Chinese-Indonesian, decides to go to Singapore to seek for shelter. But from the middle of the movie it goes quite confusing. The girl is like so obsessed in money, she does everything to get money. Although in this movie she is short on money and it's quite understandable for her to be that way, but perhaps because of once again, the acting of the actress, it becomes unbearable to watch. And as for the love story told, it just feels...unreal. Movies aren't real indeed, but it is supposed to capture the audiences' heart, and it has utterly failed to do so.

Just, don't waste your time watching this. I was forced to watch this because my teacher wanted us to make a resume from the movie, in which I couldn't help but to cringe while the entire movie was playing.

Just, don't.
