disgusting, overrated, pointless

Brilliant and touching

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

When I came to know about the release of this movie, I flew back to Malaysia, making sure all my important work was completed. When I was a teenager, I used to watch Namewee's vids on You Tube. I looked at them in a different perspective and found them positive in a way. Nasi Lemak 2.0 is way more positive compared to his You Tube vids. This movie encourages Malaysians to be united in a harsh, but funny way. Our hero Namewee travels to 3 places, meeting 3 people of different races and cultures. Although this movie is simple, it carries a very deep meaning about unity. I find this movie awesome because Namewee has proved himself worthy in Malaysia through this never-before-made film. In conclusion, this movie is a must-watch for all audiences. Don't miss it!!

Most of the scene relates to my childhood and adult as Malaysian Chinese. Great materials for current government to rethink and understand why some Malaysians still think there are much more room for IMPROVEMENT / to be a normal government, in my opinion.Karen Kong was lovely in this movie and I knew why she cried.Namewee was hero for me as he is brave and considered enough to voice and shoot out how my heart feels.Overall, 9/10. The 1 point was because he somehow think Nasi Lemak is much tastier then Chinese food, any how, that was the point of this movie, I guess.

Long before the movie has its opening in theater I watched the trailer of this movie from youtube, which was uploaded by the director Namewee, or more familiar by the local Chinese community with his real name Wong Meng Chee.Right after the video time slider reached its end, I started to doubt: "Wow, is this really going to be a good movie?!" Though the trailer itself could tell the major plot of this movie, the scenes selected just lack of attractiveness. This bring up so much of worries.Well, my worry was not from the perspective of a fans, but a loyal viewer of the videos created by him. Having seen through so much of his videos, I definitely love the ways he conveys the messages, though most of it were filled with some f-word, but come on, this is what we called "the way of youth"With this doubtful feeling, I walked into the theater and waits for the movie playing. After the opening credits was shown, I started to get some relieve. As the movie playing along, there were quite some moments that let me have a good laugh. Some scenes were just too cute that you can't help loving it, seriously! Just like the comment from 4 Malay wives on HuangDaXia: "So cute~~~"What I admired the most from this movie? Well, it definitely goes to the insert song of this movie - "Curry Neh" I totally have no idea how Namewee wrote the lyric that sounds so similar to the Tamil language. The effect of this song is indefinable. All these just show a fact that a trailer is not really reliable, like the trailer of a horror film that bring your hope high but eventually turned out to be a awfully scripted film.From a youtuber to a big screen director, I think even Namewee himself would think how intriguing it is by looking back all the way he'd gone through.All the best in your film career, Namewee! and... By the way, I watched this film in theater twice and planned to add this title to my DVD collection, WALAO EH!

From all the movies made by Malaysian Chinese I watched, Nasi Lemak 2.0 is perhaps, having the shortest mean-time-between-laughing. The only movie come second to this one, is The Superhero Movie. It's simply indisputable. Even the title itself refers to the recent riot, Bersih 2.0 that fights for fair and square general election.Although the synopsis suggested he is on a journey to search for the best recipe of Nasi Lemak, the fact is this movie brings you on a quick tour on Malaysia's pathetic coward politicians' stories, specialties of each races and sometimes small story clips that make you laugh. Name Wee wrote a very, very good script for this.The downside is this movie is unsuitable for family viewings, there are many crude sex jokes involved and some characters are named after Chinese profanities, like Lan Qiao and Gong See Fart. And the bloody offscreen penis chopping scene is definitely a not-so-humorous joke.Thankfully, for those who read newspaper often and pay attention to recent happenings know what the movie is talking about. They presented the bad sides of the infamous politicians in a humorous and sarcastic way. And sometimes characterization is not important at all. There is no definite biography for all the characters. For instance, the Gong See Fart can suddenly be CSL, the next moment he became Li***m, or the Chef Huang would transform into a guy in MCA. It's a total fun ride of politic jokes.Lastly, as Malaysian you will feel warm-hearted when watching this movie. Maybe you even feel that you don't know Malaysia as it is. The races mentioned are Chinese, Baba Nyonya, Indian and lastly Malays. I don't want to spoil the features of each races here.There is not much to complain about this film, I like it. But you have the liberty to hate it, conservative guys.
