Expected more

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Another brilliant production by the India, New Delhi borned Director; Kabir Bhatia ;) This movie has to be compared to LOVE; also a product from Kabir himself. The plot is almost the same with a few changes only. By comparison; Nugroho (Sophan Sophiaan)character plays very strong, I hear that he is a senior actor in Indonesia, surely can't be compared to Cikgu Elyas (Rahim Razali) in CINTA, he still must learn more.Restu (Irwansyah) plays very convincing, his sadness, hope, pain, he and Dinda ( Claudia Chintya Bella) makes viewers feels a heartbreak for sure. it's to strong compared to Taufiq (Mohd Pierre Andre) in CINTA, he plays a bit over acting.For this movie; i give triple thumps up to Dinda (It's not Bella Shapira, but Claudia Chintya Bella, :) ) She is the central character n this movie, and she's doing that perfectly. It seems that Indonesia have more talented movie players with her appearance.In conclusion, i still prefer the Indonesian version of this movie. But, CINTA are not bad as well, off course. I suggest you compare it yourself if you don't convinced with me.

I am a movie bug and love watching good movies, and i must tell you most of the time its Hollywood flicks.But,i am also an avid supporter of my country.One of the best of things this country has produced over the least decade is the movie CINTA. A truly amazing spectacle backed by a rich display of our culture, divine music by Zainal Abidin and an array of world class actors to act out the theme, LOVE.Its a movie which will put love in your hearts and pride in mind of your country. I congratulate the cast and director for this contributing this to me and fellow country man.If i were to summarize this movie in one word, then it would have to MAGIC !!!

Just watched this movie with my Malaysian girlfriend, she agrees it's pretty much a total failure. Every couple was in a ridiculous situation making ridiculous choices except maybe for the old woman who decides to take care of the man with Alzheimers. Why ridiculous? Where to begin...First of all, the title translates as "love," yet I saw nothing to convince me that there was any love to be found in this film, ANYWHERE. We have five couples--a husband-wife with a daughter in a seemingly (but obviously not) happy marriage, a businesswoman and her brother, the former sleeping with a married man and the latter who's totally fine until his sister somehow gives him renal kidney failure?? Then there's old lady with Alzheimers guy, famous magazine publisher/editor (although I've never heard of people in such positions being treated as celebrities, but okay, I'll bite) with his bookshop-working girlfriend, who is apparently too low for him to be seen in public with only when the media suddenly pop up, because it would totally surprise him that that would happen when he's walking around holding hands with her in public, right? And finally the guy who works for some magazine and a pregnant girl who comes along looking for the guy who got her that way, but of course magazine guy falls for her.So what's unbelievable? Everything. The businesswoman, through the anger at herself that she projects on her brother, somehow makes his kidneys fail, so in remorse she donates one BUT she dies in the process! Okay, maybe something went wrong on the operating table, right? NOPE, she knew she was going to die, proved by the letter she wrote before going in for surgery. This is idiotically stupid on so many levels, but mostly because no one would ever do that without exhausting other options, AND it's still blatantly selfish as she forces him to live with the guilt of being alive at the cost of her life, just because she wasn't having any luck with relationships. And why is it her that this happens to? Is it because she's the only woman of the bunch in a secret adulterous relationship?? Hm...Then we have pregnant girl who sadly has a miscarriage, but this miscarriage serves as a lame plot device and nothing more--because magazine guy who falls for her probably wouldn't have been so keen on her if she ended up having someone else's baby, no that would be complicated and complexity is something this film obviously avoids like syphilis.Famous publisher/editor guy proposes to bookshop girl he'd been on ONE date with before pushing her away and disowning their relationship in a public statement saying that he would never let a girl interfere with his work ethic?? WTF kind of excuse is that? In any case I expected her to slap him and tell him to get the hell of the train, but no, what a beautiful ring it was, wow, yeah OK let's get married. Shoot me in the head.Equally retarded was seemingly happy guy whose wife suddenly falls for another man whom we never even see, making me wonder if he wasn't just in her head, but seemingly happy guy is far too persevering for his own good (one might say, STALKER), starts leaving notes for her IN THIS OTHER GUY's HOUSE, which say, more or less, I've learned to let go of you thanks to our daughter, CAN'T YOU SEE HOW WELL I'M COPING IN THESE NOTES I'M LEAVING YOU?? So his wife (ex? did they ever divorce? Were they even married?) get freaked out and calls the cops--oh, wait, sorry that's what happened in my head. No, she smiles and realizes she really does love him and they get back together and live happily ever after in their yard.Finally we have old lady and Alzheimers Guy, which I saved for last so I could end on a slightly positive note, positive relative to the other stories, as this one still gets about a -1000000 but that's better than -2035324340654 that I give the other story lines. She is, we find out, all alone and has no one to love, and so she finds purpose in taking care of Alzheimers Guy, whose son can't afford to take care of him. But there are still plenty of hosey scenes with tears and the doctor who treats him saying he'd pay for the nursing home if his son couldn't because 'without him he'd never have become a doctor' blah blah blah.And the message of the movie, which very much isn't love, is, family is more important than anything, even life, apparently(if you're a woman, as the husband cheating on his wife seemed to be doing just fine). Good grief, this movie sucks.

This movie really touch the inner core of loves by it own sensed. Carefully directed and brilliantly displayed by Kabir Bhatia. I will be looking for your future works. I also would like to congrats Fatimah Abu Bakar for her excellent acting. Her northern slang really add value to the movie. All the other actors and actress are incredibly outrageously EXCELLENT in everywhere you see it. My hat goes to you guys. This is by far the most excellent movie from Malaysia. I am hoping to see more quality movie as CINTA in Malaysia's movie market in the future. This movie will ground a lot of awards this years and if that doesn't materials.. well.. you might as well boycotts the awards ceremony all in all. But I stand my ground of giving my best recommendation to this movie. I dedicates this movie to my very special love from KEDAH, Malaysia.
