Well, in Indonesia, especially in Java island we has a lot of ethnic groups live together, like Javanese, Sundanese, Chinese, Bataknese, Betawinese, Arabians, Indians, and so on. The cultural richness is described by the characters of the movie. Ernest's life represents Chinese family with kid's specific problem in real life: choose a job. He must choose to become a successful businessman or inherit his father's small shop. At this moment, Ernest took a break for some weeks because of his promotion into his new office and then he try to work at his father's shop. Beside that, he still has an older brother who was an unemployment. This is a simple movie which managed very well. The story is funny, it has a lot of comedy sessions, but at the same time it is very touching. So, I am sure that this is one of the best Indonesian movie I had ever seen.
