Ah Long Pte Ltd Gala Premiere

Was invited to the Gala Premiere of Director Jack Neo's Ah Long Pte Ltd "老师嫁老大" yesterday 30 Jan 2008 @ GV Vivo City. Needless to say, it was a star-studded event，with a very unique opening.

The invite came as a "wedding invitation" card.

Even had the bride and the groom's name on it.

My "ticket" to the movie

The main cast Mark & Fann "marched-in" triad-style with "parang-of-honour", and in their bridal suit & gown. Very creative theme.

Met a couple of friends there, including Boris & Michelle.

The show itself was very different from the draft cut which I had watched earlier last year. I know many scenes were edited, but still the movie was packed with a lot of humour. No doubt there were some seriously 无理头 jokes (what do you expect? It's a comedy) but there were also a lot of worthy humour that will tickle you to bits. And also there was no letting go of some political jokes. But on the serious note, other than just humour, there were also some scenes that would put a thought to your mind. I personally enjoy Mark's performance in the movie. He's always portraying some Ah Beng, but this time round, his portrayal of a sissy dance instructor was just simply hilarious.

The movie is presented un-dubbed in mainly Mandarin, Hokkien & Cantonese. And the humour is what they say "black comedy". Although there are some "expected" scenes, most are still very funny, and of course there's the much talked about Fann's rear view in the buff.

In cinemas from 07 Feb 2008 (but midnight screenings from 01 Feb 2008). Go catch it with your family.
