I didn’t think of it much when I saw the Nippon logo on the movie poster. After all, it is common to see brands paying huge bucks to be some sort of exclusive sponsor/ partner and getting their logos plastered all over the place. But this is probably the biggest ad I have ever seen in the movie.
They pretty much had a Nippon ad in the video where Phua Chu Kang (PCK) went to buy paint, and then they worked it into the script to talk about odorless and some other paint. Frankly speaking, I felt a bit annoyed at such blatant advertising.
But how was the movie? Well, it was PCK without Chu Beng and his wife. Somehow, having PCK alone only without the interaction with his brother doesn’t seem to work too well. I didn’t watch a single episode of PCK since they had that season in KL, and this seems like it was a continuation from that side.
It wasn’t too bad, lots of the typical PCK jokes but if PCK the series gave you in half hour dosage, this one was 3 times longer. And it felt longer than it need to be at some point. I would love to recommend this but only if you are a really, really huge fan of PCK. Else, you can spend your RM10 elsewhere.
