I caught this movie during its short run in Singapore and found it quite fun - at least it tried a different genre (road movie) than the normal Malaysian stuff. The leads were easy to like but the pacing is a bit slow and the youth slang rather outdated (is it supposed to be set in the present or the sixties?). The ending could have been stronger but I suppose they didn't have the budget for proper special effects. Still, your interest is held as these young people make a journey to discover the values of friendship, persistence, etc. Unfortunately this film has never been released in Malaysia even though many want to see it. The director is quite controversial for his political views but the movie is sweet and harmless, so I don't see why it has never hit our screens.
