I think its ok. Not amazingly good but watchable. Not Great only ok.

Cek Toko Sebelah is a comedy story that deliver many layers of social life in indonesia, specifically chinese indonesian. The Father, a victim of 98 tragedy find it a struggle accepting daughter in law. But the movie also observe the perspective of younger generation that dont dwell on past pain, and brings new energy of optimism. The story delve deeper with younger son need to decline his father offer to take over the business while also wanting to be a good responsible member of the family. This is a real family issues that the movie brings with grace, fun and easy to enjoy and understand. A triumph for indonesian movie making and a wonderful new perspective of indonesian diversity.

Well, I never thought this movie would be so damn funny. Thank God I finally decided to watch this one. It's such a great stress relief from work. This movie provides a great stock of laughter from beginning to end, even in small details when you did pay attention to it, such as the logo of products. That was quite entertaining. Not only laughter, this movie also delivers a great story about family which, in certain scene, moved me to tears. How could I not when I watched that part with such a perfect song? I have to be honest I never knew any work from Ernest Prakarsa unless that he is a stand up comedian. I also heard that he's written a book, a comedy book or something like Raditya Dika. As one of main actors here, I think he acted pretty good. What Giselle did also quite surprising. That was pretty natural, except when she yelled in English language near the end of the movie. That was not so good. Over all, it's a great movie about family with great casts and great original songs. What disturbed me a bit is the details about the calendar shown pretty often. That's all.

I am a movie-lover person that mostly watch Hollywood movies and it is very rare for me to find Indonesian movies that suit to my criteria. But, this film give me some insight that Indonesian movies are very good, too. Because of the intriguing title and many positive reviews from my relatives, I decided to watch this film and can't wait no longer to know whether this movie is like what the positive reviews said. Yeah, and it was EXCELLENT! It has comedy, romance, drama and many cameos from well-known Indonesian celebrities (I was quite amaze when I seen the cameos). Additionally, this movie also gives some life lessons that we can learn. I hope excellent Indonesian films like this is not come out rarely and I pray for the future of National film production to make many and many excellent movies!
