The movie is a satirical movie that humorously explores the intricacies of office politics, seen through the eyes of blue-collar worker Lim Deng Zui and Vice President Tanya Chew who, through a freak accident, swap souls and bodies. They each experience life in the shoes of the other and come to a better understanding of the plights and challenges facing the workforce in Singapore.

"Rules are meant to be bent; those who follow rules accordingly are stupid." This is the motto of Lim Deng Zui (Gurmit Singh) in "Just Follow Law".

This is another great attempt of director Jack Neo, after movies like "Money Not Enough", "I Not Stupid" and many more. It boasts of the best cast in Singapore, with the one and only Fann Wong, who has had 'Hollywood experience' ("Shanghai Knights") - plus its very own Gurmit Singh.

The movie is about Zui, a blue-collar worker in the WAS (Work Allocation Singapore) department and Vice President Tanya Chew (Fann Wong), who are always disagreeing with each other. After a freak accident, they swapped souls. When they failed to switch back, they experience life in each other's shoes. This is when they come to a better understanding of the plights and challenges the other faces. After a series of incidents, they come to see eye-to-eye on many matters, and try to switch back to their respective bodies by repeating the accident.

Although this works in a not-too-fresh idea of soul-swapping, it is certainly enough to get you laughing from the beginning to end. One may think that this is a copycat version of Hollywood's "Freaky Friday" but this movie gives you more than you would expect.

Singh and Wong are hilarious playing persons with the soul of the other. It even makes you wonder why Wong would take up such a role. Check out the scenes where Tanya (in Zui's body) has to bathe Zui (in her body) because she does not want him to 'touch' her. On the other hand, Zui helps Tanya in the toilet because "why should I let you touch my 'little brother', when you don't allow me to touch your body"? Also, not forgetting the scenes where Zui (in Tanya's body) 'molests' her by grabbing the breasts and all. The ways they try to irritate each other are entertaining.

However, besides the comedic elements, there are serious messages in this movie. Neo explores office politics, the inflexibility caused by the rules that civil servants must adhere to at work. All these rules and procedures cause even the most patient and obedient civil servants to get frustrated. One episode shows how Tanya is asked to send in a requisition form for the air-conditioner to be on after office hours (which takes three days to process), but she can opt to get a fan, which also needs a requisition form, but needs only two days to process.

The soul-swapping device is a good way to show how the different managerial levels think. The family element is also brought into the movie. It shows how in our lives, we tend to take things for granted, and only by not being yourself, you would be able to see what others have done for you.

Both Singh and Wong manage to convince the audience. At times it even seems as if Singh is possessed by Wong, and vice versa. The other cast members, with Neo as the surgeon, and Brandon Wong and Suhaimi Yusof as Zui's friends and housemates, provide strong support. With terms such as 'cover backside' (cover up your mistakes), 'arrow me' (put the blame on me), they certainly get you laughing uncontrollably.

Neo makes use of computer effects, with arrows flying from one office to another, implicating the troubles and blames which are targeted from one department to another.

One thing worth mentioning is that this is not a 'Chinese' movie. It has a lot of English dialogue. If you have understood the Phua Chu Kang 'Singlish', this would not be a problem for you too.

"Just Follow Law" is a comedy that is really worth the two hours in the cinema.
