Guru-Guru Gokil

Guru-Guru Gokil is an Indonesian comedy film offering a fresh and heartwarming viewing experience wrapped in meaningful messages about teachers and the value of education. Directed by Sammaria Simanjuntak, the film stars Gading Marten alongside a lineup of popular local comedy actors.

The movie successfully delivers natural humor, light dialogue, and situations that are very relatable to school life in Indonesia. Each teacher character comes with distinct personalities - from strict to quirky - making the storyline lively and enjoyable to follow.

Gading Marten performs solidly with his unique character, bringing both humor and warmth. The chemistry among the cast flows smoothly, allowing comedic moments to feel genuine and not overly forced.

The film's strength lies in its simple message about teamwork, honesty, and what it means to be an educator. Although certain parts of the story feel predictable, it remains an enjoyable watch, especially with family or friends.

Technically, its cinematography and background score effectively support the comedic and dramatic tones. Guru-Guru Gokil is a feel-good film with light storytelling and meaningful messages, well-deserving of an 8/10 rating.

This movie pretty refreshing among typical indonesian movies in general.

The main cast act really well as teacher named Taat. If he is not like a normal teacher pretty make sense hence he just a temporary teacher

The other cast play very well acting but the movie a bit weak on the storyline, in my view doesn't make sense if someone keeping the money inside school building and has no deposit box (why you guys not store it in bank?)

I don't really watch Indonesian flicks---except for them certain ones that caught my attention. I don't normally check out this kind, and yet somehow, I found this one a tad enticing. And for that, it deserves a credit. I still frown at their cringy choice of using 'gokil' as their movie title but I'm not gonna talk about the lousy title.

The story revolves around a man who's desperate to selfishly make a name for himself. All out of luck and money, he returns to his hometown and moves back in with his Father. He fakes a diploma to fool the faculty at a nearby school in order to fulfil his cruise-ship dream job. Then later he meets an attractive young teacher who kind of 'wakes' him up from reality. Long story short, with his colleagues, he tries to save the school's huge financial debacle.

I should let all know that Crazy Awesome Teachers is just another so-so yet quirky drama comedy which has some violance in its storyline; parental discretion is advised. The movie claims that the lead discovers the joys of teaching but it never shows on screen. The audience never actually see that development occurs and that's violating the first rule of good storytelling: Show, don't tell. Personally, I think it's way below average but I give generous 5 for the lovely shots.

5/10

This movie has twist ending, and I like this movie because it has moral messages that can be taken to our life. And it was really fun to watch with your family cause this movie is kinda funny too.

The performances have been a saviour because apart from that, there's not much that 'Guru-guru Gokil' has to offer. It has its moments but also disappoints quite a lot.
