Hilarious? Good home-made movie?

Honestly, I think this movie only appeals to people who wanted a good laugh and less brain activities...
Well, this movie is not impressive as it deployed the same style of mockering and perhaps, what some may find it interesting are the new Singapore terminologies like CC BCC and 4Ps. I think Jack Neo could borrow some concepts from the Office which scrutinise some of the real politic issues in workplace. Fann's acting is moderately pleasing but I find the imbalance of performance in Gurmit's part. A few supposedly moving scenes are not focus but divert away to some cranky jokes. I think the review here on this movie should be subjective as we expect more inspired and talented artiste to make good 'homely' movies.

I Not Stupid by following the law

Sentiments mixed. I think this staire firm does not reflect the truth of the office politics. Even it has become the highest earning locally but I really feel Jack Neo should learn and explore more storylines and improve on its cinematograhy and music aspects to venture internationally. Just Follow Law may cater for local crowd especially aunties and uncles but it might exaggerate or deviate (especially younger impressionable minds) some of the correct values for following the law. Honestly, till date, I found Jack Neo's I NoT Stupid--which drew the heartland of people on the S'pore education system was remarkable. However, I was rather disappointed in this film as kind of 'rojak' or mess especially the ending.
I really hope more local talents who dare to explore more story alternatives and add in more spices to my local entertainment industry.

What I loved most: The storyline, themes and the humour!
What I really hated: if u wanna be a critic, then 4 u there'll be no end to it....
Absolutely brilliant movie, Jack Neo you've done Singapore proud, i think this is maybe the most ingenious movie locally so far made, because of the sheer impact, hit-home power and wackiness of the storyline, yet inside are timely messages and even significant underlying indications to all of us too. I think this is a local film but hitting international themes and standards. Quality through and through... keep it going!! Ordinariness but not so ordinary! Humour, politics, satire, organisational realities, in-the-box and act-thru-the-box, sex appeal, strong friendships n brotherliness, communal spirit, family bonding.... all the important life-themes are there! The story comes full circle in the end... the masking tape and the repeat car accident... reflects life's innate urge to complete incomplete things.... very significant, very very significant... Thanks to all the people for making it all possible!

What I loved most: Great funny jokes
What I really hated: laughed too much... headache..
Great movie of the year!
Jack Neo lived up to his reputation of creating made-in-singapore movies relating to our everyday lives... languages we speak... actions we use...
It relates not only to the style of government, as well as the private sector in the corporate world. Hilarious jokes roared the whole cinema with laughter.
Guys, if you are a Singaporean, you MUST watch it.
