Featured reviews
I'm going to start with this : I don't watch Indonesian movies a lot but this one caught my attention. I didn't expect a lot in the first place but this movie deserves quite a rating for entertaining your quarantined days, or for keeping you a company in the afternoon while working at home and sipping your evening coffee with your family, Kind of relaxing your nerves after hearing too much bad news on television. Dian Sastro has proven that she could actually be coming out from her shell - watching this movie will make you forget her as Cinta from AADC, although the makeover could have been more natural. This movie is in fresh and entertaining plot supported with its light jokes, easy to be understood by all levels of age, suitable for family time. Some new talents are trained and shot perfectly by the young actors.
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.

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.
GOKIL TO THE MAX !!
The script of this film really helps the comedy become more fresh, plus a talented cast and has good chemistry.
I was also amazed by how good the cinematography is, has a distinctive color tone, and shoots really well. The plot doesn't make sense, but isn't that a common thing in comedy films?

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.
