Review:

Ok. Below is my personal review.

Classified as: Comedy, Relationships

Story Score: 10/10

Story Review: This show has a super 'moving'(almost moved me to tears at the end of the movie 。・゜　°・(><)・° ° ・。 storyline powering it into the cinemas. As you all know, in the lunar calendar, its the 7th Month again. This is the month whereby the hell gates open and the ghost from the underworld is allowed to roam thru out the lands. Hence, people set up stages called getai to entertain the brothers' of the underworld.
This is the story of 2 ladies with one dream to follow in their idol footstep which is to become stars in the 'getai industry'. However, things did not turned out so well for them as they do not have the talent for it. SO they went to seek the help of a erm.. 'goddess?'. Rules that they must not break was set on them in exchange for the talent which they needed to become 'STARS' in the 'getai industry'.

Acting Score: 10/10

Acting Review: Really really like the actors who acted in this movie. They really gave in their 100% effort to bring out the feel of the movie. If i recall correctly, many years ago i still saw the 2 female leads acting in programmes shown on the TV but thats realllllllyyyyyyyyyyyy long ago. Glad to say that they still have the talent for acting after so many years!!

Song Score: 10/10

Song Review: Well, songs are mainly heard thruout the movie. Its what brings out the feel of this movie. Thus making the movie seems interesting and a moving one. Thats why the 10/10 in the scoring.

Comments:

Well thats the main gist of the movie without revealing any spoiler in the story review. I guess it can be put in as the Hokkian (Yes the language mainly used in this movie is hokkian) version of the high school musical concert or maybe even better IMO. The songs written inside are meaningful and completely fits into the storyline. Also, another reason why I liked this movie so much is because it reflected so much of Singaporean lifes especially the one in the getai line of entertainment. Also sad to say but Singaporeans KIASU attitude is also reflected in the movie (・_・　)―――――C＜―＿‐)))))).
Another thing to note is the Director for this movie. Royston Tan. He seems to be a very daring director which is rare in S'pore. Still rem. his short film about some entity in S'pore, sacrificing their noble self to cut out obscene scene from movies.

CUT CUT CUT. What to do when they are tired of cutting and still so many parts to cut? BAN!

Recommendation to Watch: ～(m~-~)(^^ ) Fell in love with this movie! 11 STARS out of 10 STARS.

Trivia: It seems that the script only took 2 wks to write and 22 days to finish shooting. However, the cost of the movie is quite high. It seems also, that one of the female lead really cut her hair for the sake of this movie. Kudos!

Here's the teaser from youtube:

Heres some songs sung by the Mingzhu Sisters, the vocals behind the songs in the movie.

Really like this song. Can really feel the sadness in the song.

Update: Time to look for the OST of the movie. Really like the songs inside the movie (((((*^o^*)♪... Will be buying the DVD also... Review on that 2 hopefully!
