I had the chance to watch at JAFF yesterday, and honestly, this was one of the most anticipated films. The ticket war was crazy-sold out within minutes!

Okay, it's a bit hard to give a review without spoilers. Here's the thing: the storyline is great, I really liked it. As a drama film, the drama hits just right-not overly cheesy like some other Indonesian dramas. The acting was incredibly impressive, and seeing Chicco here, his performance was amazing. OH, and this movie is super funny, guys! I didn't expect to laugh as much as I did.

This movie is not a movie that forces the audience to cry, or this movie does not sell sadness, but warmth. So if you cry, maybe it's happy tears.

My first impression after leaving the cinema? The film felt so heartwarming and enjoyable to watch. You don't need to overthink it-just go to the theater, sit back, and enjoy a genuinely warm and delightful film.

1 Kakak 7 Ponakan is a family comedy that successfully blends laughter, warmth, and chaos into one delightful package. The story is simple yet relatable: a brother suddenly finds himself in charge of his seven nieces and nephews, each with their own quirks, mischief, and innocence. From start to finish, the film delivers plenty of humorous situations that resonate with real-life family dynamics.

The strongest aspect of this movie lies in the chemistry between the cast. The older brother's acting feels authentic, showing a mix of exhaustion, affection, and frustration that audiences can easily empathize with. Meanwhile, each of the seven children has a distinct personality that often clashes, resulting in funny and unpredictable moments. The comedic timing feels fresh and natural, making it easy for viewers to laugh along.

Beyond the humor, the film also carries a touching message about responsibility, patience, and the importance of family bonds. Without being overly preachy, it subtly reminds audiences that while taking care of loved ones can be overwhelming, it can also bring irreplaceable joy.

On the downside, some jokes feel repetitive and forced, which slightly reduces the comedic impact in the middle part of the movie. The pacing can also feel a bit unfocused, with too many small subplots that sometimes distract from the main storyline. Nevertheless, the charm of the characters and their interactions keeps the film engaging.

Visually, the movie uses bright and colorful cinematography, reflecting the lively and cheerful atmosphere of a household full of children. The soundtrack, though simple, complements the lighthearted tone of the story. The editing is mostly smooth, though a few transitions appear rushed.

Overall, 1 Kakak 7 Ponakan is a fun watch for families or anyone seeking lighthearted entertainment. It may not be groundbreaking, but it delivers what it promises: laughter and warmth wrapped in family chaos. A rating of 7/10 feels just right - entertaining, enjoyable, and heartfelt, even if not entirely flawless.

Truly a drama that warms the whole heart and soul. The choice of words is good, not cheesy and not forced. The portion of sadness is also just right so that we who watch it are not made full of sadness but are made warm. The music is also very unified from each sceneworthy. The writing of the characteristics of the characters is really fitting and they share their feelings for each other and still make sense. For much or even almost all of this film the depiction is very, very good, the coloring techniques are very suitable for the content of the story. There is no reason to miss this film, which is just the right length, even though it is 2 hours long, but it is very satisfying. Worth watching!!!

Another movie that showing sandwich generation, especially in Indonesia, is real. Just like another movie "Home Sweet Loan", describe how young generation must sacrifice their time and opportunity, to make a better life for others, without any choice. This is also a kind reminder, that having a big family, will come with big responsibility, and many are not well prepared for what comes next in life.
