Review by Pairamaporn Buranakol
Star Ratings:
| Overall | | 2.5 stars | | Cast | | 2 stars | | Plot | | 2.5 stars | | Effects | | 2 stars | | Cinematography | | 3 stars |
The film's marketing campaign made it seem like this was going to be an extraordinary film. After all, instead of following the footsteps of the usual Malaysian films that are often copies of Spanish soap operas or those local C-grade horror flicks we are so often inundated with, they've decided that we need to see some skin! Lots of it. Big bottoms, breasts and legs jiggle all over this film - but they are just the wrong kind. It's a group of sweaty, half-naked sumo wrestlers getting ready to rumble.
The movie starts off with Ramlee (Afdlin Shauki) getting his bike repossessed. It results in him losing his job and disappointing his already unhappy mother. With no money, no job and no future, it seems almost too good to be true when he is offered a challenge by sushi restaurant owner Honda (Patrick Teoh) to finish off 20 plates of sushi within a minute. He tries, and fails due to two unscrupulous workers at the restaurant, and is forced to work at the restaurant to pay off his debt instead.
At the Boleh Sushi shop, Ramlee becomes smitten with Honda's beautiful daughter, Siti (Inthira Charoenpura), and finds friends in Harith (Awie) and Andy (Radhi Khalid). Forced to work hard for the first time in his life following the owner's 'Japanese way of hard work', his life begins to take a turn for the better. He also begins to impress Siti, which is what he was aiming to do in the first place.
However, a rival for Siti's affections soon turns up in the form of her ex-boyfriend, Akira (Gurmit Singh), who ends up humiliating Ramlee during a friendly bout of sumo. Ramlee soon finds out that he was tricked into working for Boleh Sushi because Honda's team was one man short for the Malaysian Sushi Association Amateur Sumo Wrestling Championships, held by the local Japanese owners of sushi restaurants.
Ramlee is forced to make a choice: to stay with the restaurant and fight with the possibility of going up against Akira; or quit to avoid more humiliation.
I've been looking forward to the film for quite some time now, and with the delay on the film's release, the anticipation was even greater. When I finally got to see it, however, I must say I felt a little disappointed. With all the hype, I really expected more.
Although the movie is funny in most parts (except for the insults exchanged between Akira and Ramlee which seemed juvenile and more befitting of the type of mud slinging you might hear on high school grounds), the whole piece didn't look quite finished. It was almost as if there was supposed to be more to be seen. I heard that the film was originally about 4 hours long. Evidently, most of it has wound up on the cutting room floor. No wonder the whole film felt and looked disjointed. There were some lengthy, unnecessary scenes, and although the funny bits made up for it slightly - they did nothing to enhance the story.
Another irritant was the amount of references to the main sponsors of the film - Celcom and Ogawa. The ads turned the film from a possible winner to a 'movie-slash-advertisement' for the two brands. The fact that I can remember the scenes showing both the sponsors instead of the better moments in the movie bodes well for the two sponsors, but it does the opposite for the producers. Apparently Ogawa chairs are a prerequisite for all sumo wrestlers. They are in need of a good massage after being thrown around so much. As for Celcom, it was everywhere in the ringtones, banners and even in a scene where Ramlee is looking for a job - the camera zooms into a job advertisement for Celcom!
Afdlin delivers a comedic performance as the typical lazy man. Some of his funniest scenes were when he tries to devour 20 plates of sushi in less than a minute, and when he ends up in the sumo ring for the first time. Awie and Radhi Khalid were not too bad in their roles as Ramlee's newfound friends at the sushi restaurant. Patrick Teoh's performance as Honda was believable - yet marred by the Japanese-accented English voice he had to put on. Look out for a scene when Teoh takes on 4 sumo wrestlers - with the sound effects added on, it lends credibility to the fact that this old man is not someone to mess around with!
Gurmit Singh was one of the main selling points of this movie (who doesn't know "Phua Chu Kang" and his famous "don pray-pray" phrase?). Sadly, he isn't given much to say here. The lines he delivers in Japanese were lacking in emotion. Thai actress Inthira Chareonpura plays Siti, the half-Malay, half-Japanese daughter of Patrick Teoh's character, Honda (there's a hidden joke in their names; see if you can catch it). However, sweet as she is, Inthira doesn't play a pivotal part in the movie, and seems to be there as just another pretty face who lacks conviction when speaking in Japanese.
Theatre actor Gavin Yap, who plays the role of Mickey from Akira's Diamond Sushi team is the slimmest sumo wrestler I've ever seen. Although his role looks like it was added in for comic relief, Yap ends up acting (and sounding) like a gremlin on drugs, complete with irritating snickers, sneers and yelps. It seems fitting to the role however, that he has a scene parodying that famous incident involving the infamous Mike Tyson.
The film could have had less narration (Afdlin Shauki as the Narrator here) and allowed the scenes to speak for themselves - having a detailed explanation rather than invoking subtle humour over the possible faux pas spoiled the moments for me. However, near the end of the film, the story starts to pick up again but by this time the movie has been going on for so long, you can't be bothered to pick up the little hidden messages woven into the story - such as the numerous social commentaries aimed at lazy people.
In true Malaysian style, the movie ends up being a bowl of rojak - sweet, sour and spicy - yet lacking in that 'oomph' or 'kick' to make it the best dish around.

BTW, ada satu part yg kelakar gaban dlm citer ni bila Romlee panggil Gurmit Sigh as Winter Sonata, rerupanya dia ejek hairstyle si Akira tuh yg ala Bae Yong Jun wannabe.....

komedi? klu itu yg diharapkn dpd filem terbaru afdlin ni, mintak lupakan aja niat tu. maybe i watch to much mukhsin, forgive me, but seeing the driver sang the french song in mukhsin rated much higher than the whole film
bagai menonton "pembaziran bakat" secara besar-besaran(fenomena biasa dlm cerita2 mamat khalid), cerita ala dokumentari diselang-seli terlalu kerap dgn advertisement yg sgt-sgt menjengkelkan, bakat inthira, gurmit, patrick teoh, radhi, awie malahan afdlin sendiri "bagaikan diletak ditempat yg salah". semuanya mcm serba x kena. "joint", jalan cerita, skrip, japanese intonation dan seribu satu lg benda membuat aku semakin resah melihatkan kualiti hasil kerja afdlin yg semakin lama semakin merosot. risau memikirkan dia akan mengikut jejak aziz m osman ...
aku x mahu discourage sesapa utk tengok filem ni. tengoklah filem ni utk support afdlin, certainly one of the talented director in the country. well, so far. and it will be a long long way for him ....
2.5 for me. klu mahukn komedi, like what i said before, pegilah speedy, beli dvd mukhsin. klu mahu drama about fighting spirit, find your old tape with 'karate kid" on the label, because it will surely provide more "matured" content
chief kodok, zannen desu !

aku dah tengok pagi tadi....fuhhh, citer 2 jam setengah, tak sangka btol aku..banyak 'pembaziran' berlaku dlm filem ni...filem ni tak sepatutnya dragging sampai 2 jam setengah...
to cut it short, filem ni bermula dgn baik..sampaila scene afdlin 'ditipu' utk menyertai pertandingan sumo tu, momentum filem ni jatuh pelan2...kenapa honda perlu 'tipu' ramlee in the 1st place, aku tak tau..just cakap ko ada hutang dgn restoran, ko kena kejer dgn kitorang & ko kena join pertandingan sumo, that's it...tak perlula ramlee nak merajuk pulak, honda & siti (kelakar tul dialog "dia anak encik honda...siti", "ape? honda city?" ) anak beranak datang pujuk lak, what for, it's a waste..
seterusnya filem ni diselitkan dgn falsafah2 yg aku rasa 'penuh' & berlambak2...tak taula, filem buli & buli balik pun banyak falsafah, tapi ianya tak kedengaran bosan & tak seperti nak bersyarah
scene di jepun adalah satu pembaziran jugak rasanya...ntahla, shooting kat jepun je kos 800K, kalo tak filem ni bole je siap dgn bajet 2 juta..maybe afdlin mencarik ahli sumo yg tulen, sebab tu direka plot yg konon2 honda pegi jepun nak kutip hutang dari kawan dia...scene honda & bini dia masa muda2 kat jepun pun tak perlu, malah sengaja dipanjang2kan pulak aku rasa...akira pun ada 1 scene je kat jepun, membazir je bawak gurmit singh pegi jepun..dah tu ada pulak honda berfalsafah bagai dgn ramlee kat taman jepun tu, skali lagi membazir, takleh cakap kat malaysia ke? berurut dgn mesin ogawa pun nak tunjuk kat jepun ke? (although aku rasa part dlm kedai ogawa ni shooting kat malaysia)...paling tak pun ireka jela tempat seolah2 kat jepun, tkyahla btol2 pegi jepun, impak tak cukup kuatla...scene2 kat jepun je dah lagi 1 membazir
lagi 1 membazir - pelakon2...1stly yg pelakon nang nak tu (aku panggil nang nak jela)...dia ni kalo nak kira cantik, muka lebih kurang nadia mustafa je, ape yg cantiknye...in fact masa 1st time aku tengok poster sumolah aku ingat nang nak ni nadia mustafa..sebab ape membazir? sebab yg belakon cuma batang tubuh nang nak tu je, suara dia guna suara orang lain (guna 2 orang utk bahasa melayu & jepun)...sesetengah scene nampak sangat tak selari mulut nang nak dgn suara...ada tu yg aku nampak terang2 nang nak hapal buta jek, sebab contoh mcm perkataan 'buta', suara sebut 'bute', tapi mulut sebut 'buta' (masa sebut 'ta' tu mulut terbukak), tak konsistenla camtu...maybela afdlin nak attract penonton thailand, tu alasan paling kuatla...tp orang siam pun pelik kalo tengok nang nak ni bercakap bahasa yg orang siam sendiri tak faham..pelakon2 lain so-so, afdlin-rasanya ni bukan lakonon terbaik dia (takleh celen buli & buli balik), awie pun so-so jek..gurmit singh pun..yg menarik bagi aku yg rambut landak tu, mickey kan nama dia, suke lak tengok expression dia yg lebih2 tu
scene klimaks, pertandingan sumo tu sangat bagus...ringkas & padat..siap ada hasbullah awang buat lintas langsung lagi kesudahan pertandingan tak klise...part ni memang convincing la, dgn penonton, sponsor semua...
part komedi tu, lawak memang lawak...ni senjata afdlin yg takleh celen, cuma sebab filem ni 2 jam setengah, lawak filem ni tak seimbang dah dgn bahagian tak lawak, bukan mcm buli, buli balik, baik punya cilok
overall 3/5...tengokla citer ni...tak rugi, banyak benda bole belajar, sambil2 gelak release tension tu |

nak tambah sket pembaziran2 scen yg lain:
- scene awek haris (awie) call haris dari kl ke jepun (semata2 nak tunjuk sponsor celcom)
- scene natasha hudson as celcom girl...tak relevan langsung, aku tak tau ape purpose natasha hudson dipanggil belakon, lama pulak scene dia tu |
