June et Kopi

I know the movie is not really realistic and there are lots of something odd here and there. But thats okay for me.

As a animal lover I support this movie. This movie is great. It had moments that made me laugh and cry. Anybody that hates this movie should stfu. This movie's revenue goes to charity, which is a great cause. I'm not saying that the people who rated this so low are prejudiced,,, but they are prejudiced 😃

It's just a average family movie nothing special. But still watchable.

There's a lot going on here. Knowing the country's stigma towards dogs, this movie tries its best to change the status quo. It felt like the movie was made solely for this reason.

Though it's got honorable intentions, the plot really did felt forced (another word for it might be predictable). Going into this in detail must contain spoilers, but there's this one scene in particular that would make people straight up laugh cause of how improbable the whole thing was.

Acting was awesome, the dogs did well too. Stray dogs can be innately smart too, why not? But something really did bug me about the dogs. They used 2 completely different dogs to portray June, the main dog of the movie. They were not the same breed (original June is like a white belgian, substitute is a white husky). Felt like insulting the audience, thinking that people won't notice. Insults dog owners even more, which is what hit me personally. Hence my review title.

Indonesian pride kept me from rating this movie any lower. I am biased in this way. But they truly could have made a way better movie. Cast and directorial style is already there, just ruined by the decision in cutting corners with some aspects of the movie.

The plot is very predictable; also, the performances are not very good, the dogs were the best actors.
