AH BENG THE MOVIE: THREE WISHES (阿炳心想事成)

What a hectic Weekend, went to 2 Gala Premiere screening at Pavilion, a place where it is jam packed with sweaty shirt and 'sticky' arm, but still here I am attending the very first Chinese New Year (CNY) movie.

It begin back in the 1970s where villager is busy preparing to welcome CNY and there were these 'costume' God of Fortune (GoF) going around collecting angpow. Ah Beng's father who came from a poor family donated some small amount to the real GoF accidentally and was then granted 3 wishes.

To spice up, Ah Beng The Movie: Three Wishes is a made in Malaysia movie featuring tons of local celebrity that Malaysian is familiar with.

Let's be frank, the movie was filled with tons of advertisement from start to end. What make it so obvious is the way of shooting the product / scene. The director focus directly on the brand / logo and make it kinda obvious and actually spoiled the movie.

Beside that it is an overall an enjoyable movie. However I'm not sure if the superstitious group will label this movie as unsuitable because it does have scene like accident and dead and etc. No matter what, the movie is at a comfy and stable pace with not too much of twist and not too much of boring joke.

Rate: 2.5/5
