Reviews
Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

radenvito-08616 Cek Toko Sebelah is a comedy story that deliver many layers of social life in indonesia, specifically chinese indonesian. The Father, a victim of 98 tragedy find it a struggle accepting daughter in law. But the movie also observe the perspective of younger generation that dont dwell on past pain, and brings new energy of optimism. The story delve deeper with younger son need to decline his father offer to take over the business while also wanting to be a good responsible member of the family. This is a real family issues that the movie brings with grace, fun and easy to enjoy and understand. A triumph for indonesian movie making and a wonderful new perspective of indonesian diversity.
rgamawann Cek Toko Sebelah is a film written and directed by a talented young comedian, Ernest Prakasa. It tells us a story of a Chinese family and their problems in life, ranging from work-related problems, romance, inheritance, and jealousy. Centered on Ernest as the main actor himself, the story bring about a nice familial atmosphere and well-presented the interaction between various cultures and kinds of people in Indonesia. As the comedian's second movie, it was being widely accepted by the audience and received many good responses from them, although there are some minor problems that we need to look up into.My own first impression when I watch this movie is, honestly, quite bad. The jokes are quite lame, and the movie seems like a boring one with too much jokes in it. However, as the story progresses, it's getting better and better. The delivery of the plots is well-executed and the emotion in it is being build up perfectly for the audience. Oh, and the jokes are getting better too! Now, when we see the actors and actresses line up, we would be surprised to see quite a few well-known names such as Dion Wiyoko (Yohan), Adinia Wirasti (Ayu), Gisella Anastasia (Natalie), and various other famed names. Sadly, however, most of them lacked the expected screen time befitting of their popularity. The background of each main characters is also quite lacking in our opinion, making the audience failed to relate the story to an even deeper level. Well, allocating a proper screen time for each plot is hard, with the need of jokes and all in a comedy films especially, so the present condition is quite well done.Overall, it is a good movie, and I recommend you to watch it. Why? Well, it is quite rare for an Indonesian comedy film to get this deep of a plot, especially in the recent times. Not sure? You will know when you watch the movie yourself. Prove it. Prove my words, watch the movie.
Eric Ganiwijaya I am a movie-lover person that mostly watch Hollywood movies and it is very rare for me to find Indonesian movies that suit to my criteria. But, this film give me some insight that Indonesian movies are very good, too. Because of the intriguing title and many positive reviews from my relatives, I decided to watch this film and can't wait no longer to know whether this movie is like what the positive reviews said. Yeah, and it was EXCELLENT! It has comedy, romance, drama and many cameos from well-known Indonesian celebrities (I was quite amaze when I seen the cameos). Additionally, this movie also gives some life lessons that we can learn. I hope excellent Indonesian films like this is not come out rarely and I pray for the future of National film production to make many and many excellent movies!
