You're Really Stupid 2

Where are those people who recommended this movie to me? It's even worse than the first one.

Jack Neo is a novelty that has worn on for far too long. To think he wants to make one every two years. Subtlety does not exist in this man's dictionary. While more talented directors coax you into their point-of-view, Neo takes it and forces it down your throat with a sledgehammer. Faulty analogy, I know, but suitable when describing his work.

Full of cliches, cringe moments, sledgehammer analogies, the list goes on. Rotten apples, the principal who follows the rules, teacher hits student whose classmates whip out their camera phones, it really is painful to watch.

While this movie may just make money from heartlander homies, I'm afraid we were just humoured in Cannes.

Jack Neo's filmmaking is an embarrassment to Singapore. Next better scriptwriter, please, before he makes it a trilogy.
