Ah Beng The Movie: 3 Wishes

Or in Chinese, 阿炳:心想事成. 




Having watched the previous two movies, I knew that I am sure in for a great time with some laughter and maybe a certain moral value instilled in the movie. And I was right. There is laughter, a lot of it actually. Sometimes, even just by looking at someone, you'll burst out laughing. And like the previous movies, there are some moral values instilled in the movie. The ones that I managed to discover are: do not smoke, sign up to be an organ donor, be helpful to others, trust one another, and do not think about receiving when you're giving. 


I am really impressed with Malaysian production so far. We do have the potential. There are some cliches and cheesy moments, but that's OK. However, the product placement in this movie is quite obvious. Out of nowhere, OSIM (or maybe Ogawa, no idea, I didn't read the credits) massage chair made an appearance. Not to mention there are loads of Proton and Perodua cars used, but I supposed that's a given, since it is shot in Malaysia. 


Anyhow, it's a great and fun movie to enjoy with your family during this festive season. Happy CNY! :)


Here's the trailer for those who have not seen it:
