As Good As It Gets
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Through this animated feature, we can observe the fictionalised, daily lives of the Malaysian villagers and the characters' antics are comical. In addition to all the silly and funny scenes, Budak Lapok (2007) has a lot of references and parodies to folk tales and popular movies.However, there are some stereotypes present in this animated feature and the animation is not that great. The voice of the characters seems to be not in sync with the uncommon mouth movements sometimes but still acceptable as they are simple. In brief, it can be hilarious and entertaining if you love to watch Malay comedy drama! Probably the best animated feature originated from Malaysia. (Out of the four I have seen)
