Rumput Tetangga

Rumput Tetangga is a lighthearted dramedy about Kirana, a tired stay-at-home mom who wishes she had chosen a different path. Thanks to a bit of magical twist at her high school reunion, she suddenly finds herself living her dream life: successful, glamorous, and single. But as she enjoys the freedom and luxury, she starts to realize what really matters to her.

The movie is sweet, sometimes funny, and relatable, especially for anyone who's ever wondered "what if." While the story can feel predictable and the fantasy element isn't super deep, the film still delivers a warm message: life always looks greener from the outside, but happiness often comes from what you already have.

Not Skipped A Bit

If I am not interested in some scene, I usually move a few minutes forward. But this film made me not doing that. Well done. I am a woman and I have suggestion for people who want to watch this movie: If you are a woman wether you are an employee or a housewife, and sometimes you feel tired about your job, this film is very recommended to remind you about your blessings and always be thankful about all you have right now. It is okay to be not okay sometimes, but the most important thing is be thankful because there might be other people who want to be "you" or "your job".
