Been to the movies lately, one after another over the weekends. Weird thing is I watched 2 Chinese movies at the cine already, something I probably have done in years, not to mention 2 in a row. Always felt its a waste of money to watch Chinese films in the Cine, but well what to do? Family d comes first and its nice to bring joy to people around you.
Well today is Money no enough 2. I wonder why they cant even name the movie properly, it should be not enough and not no enough. BUT it is entertaining in its own way, glorifying a language Singaporeans do not grace on their lips. I am one Singaporean proud to always say a Hokkien phrase, proud to be a Citi Beng. The film is full of the native language, and that probably made a lot of people more clueless bout the show. But for me? I understand it, and I chuckled at a few lines. But somehow today I felt distanced from the show, like I was an outsider. I wasn't really bought into the show. And again Jack Neo tried to bring a little bit of human morality issues into the movie, a bit of "complain bout the government" spirit. It aint surprising, what you expect from him. But its still worth watching, some form of entertainment for that one plus hour. I sort of enjoyed it, sort of.
Moral of the movie? Yes money is no enough, but happiness is your true wealth.
