GJLS: Ibuku Ibu-Ibu

GJLS: Ibuku Ibu Ibu is not just a random, silly comedy as some might assume. Every scene carries a clever layer of social commentary-subtle, yet striking. To me, the three GJLS characters reflect the way our society often works: we speak before we think, and sometimes that absurdity is what makes it so relatable and hilarious.

I really love the story. Not because I look down on complex storytelling-many of you are great at analyzing films deeply-but I believe life can be simple: just laugh and be happy. The problem is, some so-called "film enthusiasts" take everything too seriously.

For me, this is the best GJLS film so far. It's funny, original, and delivers their signature style in a way that truly reminds me of Stephen Chow's legendary comedies-silly on the surface, but deeply clever underneath.

This is far from a random comedy. It's GJLS at their most iconic-and it deserves more appreciation.

This film is very suitable if you need fresh entertainment, you will also be presented with absurd comedy. The film carries GJLS's signature absurd, spontaneous, and improvisational comedy style. Viewers who are familiar with podcasts or their content will find it very relatable. Rigen, Hifdzi, and Rispo appear very relaxed and natural. Their interactions feel like hanging out with old friends - not contrived, and that's precisely their strength. Luna Maya, Bucek Depp, and Nadya Arina are also present to provide depth and balance in this film. Monty Tiwa also played an important role in ensuring that the film did not stray too far from the rules of filmmaking.

**Absurdity is the core comedic theme of this movie-hence the title.** While it aims to be funny, much of the humor feels forced and falls flat.

**One unusual choice is including bloopers within the main film itself.** This might amuse the cast's close friends, crew, or fans of their stand-up group, but for first-time viewers, it simply doesn't work. Some scenes even try to *force* laughter by showing the actors cracking up during bloopers-it's almost like hiring someone to tickle the audience.

**The film attempts to channel the spirit of WARKOP DKI** with raunchy humor and adult jokes, but these moments often come off as awkward and cringeworthy rather than genuinely funny.

**In short, fans of the cast's stand-up work might enjoy this movie.** Everyone else? Probably not.

This film is an absurd comedy film directed by Monty Tiwa and starring the trio Rispo, Rigen, and Hifdzi. This film "dares" to break the rules of conventional cinema by showing bloopers, shooting errors, and chaotic editing styles which fortunately become a source of laughter in this film. The story will follow three siblings who try to thwart their father's plan to marry a young SPG, because they are worried about losing their inheritance. Although ridiculous, this film still inserts light family drama.

The humor is presented spontaneously and recklessly, although some scenes touch on sensitive issues such as disability and sexism which are felt to make some people offended or uncomfortable when hearing them. However, for viewers who want to enjoy unexpected comedy and full of creative chaos, this film can be an exciting watch that is certainly very different from the usual comedy films.

Some people watch GJLS: Ibuku Ibu Ibu and come out confused, disappointed, or eager to overanalyze it like it's an arthouse drama. Which is fascinating, considering the tagline literally says: #SiapGoblok. It's almost poetic - walking into a funhouse and getting mad because the mirrors are distorted.

This film knows exactly what it is: absurd, chaotic, hilarious, and unashamed. It doesn't try to impress with complexity-it invites you to laugh at the very absurdity we often see in everyday life (and in ourselves). The GJLS trio aren't just characters; they're reflections of how we, as a society, often act before we think-loud, messy, but oddly familiar.

And yet, some people still insist on treating every film like an academic paper. If there's no long-winded explanation or symbolic subtext, they dismiss it as "low effort." Ironically, they miss the brilliance hidden in the chaos-because true satire doesn't come with a label saying "please take this seriously."

And to those who'll surely dislike this review? Just scroll down and look for the thumbs down - that's where the "overthinkers anonymous" usually gather.

If you didn't enjoy the film, maybe it's not the movie that didn't get the point-maybe it's you.
