I enjoyed this movie thoroughly and I thought you should watch it too. Maybe if you aren't a hokkien speaking person, this might be a no-go. Much of the conversation and singing are in hokkien, and though there are subtitles, it isn't quite as enjoyable if you read the subs. Generally a comedy for the masses during this national day period and I had a good laugh through out. It was really draggy towards the end and I thought it took points off it. And I still didn't understand what the laser-emitting part between the Durian Sisters and Papaya Sisters was about.

The last time I caught a similar movie was Phantom of the Opera, which was like more than 2 years back, and the cinema was almost empty (it was gooooood, the movie). It certainly was plesant watching something different from the usual after more than 2 years but this time round, be prepared for an elderly crowd if you watch it at a cinema near the heartlands. I did, at causeway point.

I give 3.8 out of 5! This musical-movie is enjoyable and the hokkien songs are really kick-ass. This is something different and the costumes in this film are really simply out of this world. Draggy at the end, beware!
