    Laugh, Cry, Repeat

    Cek Toko Sebelah kicks off as a lighthearted comedy about a high-flying son pressed into running his dad's corner shop for a month-and it quickly becomes so much more. Ernest Prakasa nails every quip, from office banter to neighborhood gossip, while Chew Kin Wah's gruff-but-tender patriarch steals every scene he's in. Without giving away the twists, the film's heart shines in those small, tender moments when family obligations collide with personal dreams.

    What really sets this movie apart is how effortlessly it weaves big laughs into genuine emotion. One minute you're chuckling at a clueless customer demanding "extra spicy," the next you're warmed by a brother-sister toast that feels like an old memory. The supporting cast brings just enough color-though a few characters could've used more screen time, their brief appearances still pack a punch.

    Cek Toko Sebelah is a feel-good gem that proves local stories can have universal appeal. It's the kind of film you'll want to watch with your family, then quote for weeks afterward. Don't miss it.

    So wonderful!

    Well, I never thought this movie would be so damn funny. Thank God I finally decided to watch this one. It's such a great stress relief from work. This movie provides a great stock of laughter from beginning to end, even in small details when you did pay attention to it, such as the logo of products. That was quite entertaining. Not only laughter, this movie also delivers a great story about family which, in certain scene, moved me to tears. How could I not when I watched that part with such a perfect song?

    I have to be honest I never knew any work from Ernest Prakarsa unless that he is a stand up comedian. I also heard that he's written a book, a comedy book or something like Raditya Dika. As one of main actors here, I think he acted pretty good. What Giselle did also quite surprising. That was pretty natural, except when she yelled in English language near the end of the movie. That was not so good. Over all, it's a great movie about family with great casts and great original songs. What disturbed me a bit is the details about the calendar shown pretty often. That's all.

    An honest Indonesian movie about family

    This is one of the best Indonesian movie I've ever watched. The cast, the plot, the comedy, the drama, they are packaged in a very good way. This movie fells like a roller coaster, you'll laugh out loud at some moment, and fell like gonna cry in few minutes after. I'm looking forward for Ernest Prakasa next movie from now on. (I'm sorry for my bad English :D)

    Quite a good movie. Recommended.

    Cek Toko Sebelah is a film written and directed by a talented young comedian, Ernest Prakasa. It tells us a story of a Chinese family and their problems in life, ranging from work-related problems, romance, inheritance, and jealousy. Centered on Ernest as the main actor himself, the story bring about a nice familial atmosphere and well-presented the interaction between various cultures and kinds of people in Indonesia. As the comedian's second movie, it was being widely accepted by the audience and received many good responses from them, although there are some minor problems that we need to look up into.

    My own first impression when I watch this movie is, honestly, quite bad. The jokes are quite lame, and the movie seems like a boring one with too much jokes in it. However, as the story progresses, it's getting better and better. The delivery of the plots is well-executed and the emotion in it is being build up perfectly for the audience. Oh, and the jokes are getting better too!

    Now, when we see the actors and actresses line up, we would be surprised to see quite a few well-known names such as Dion Wiyoko (Yohan), Adinia Wirasti (Ayu), Gisella Anastasia (Natalie), and various other famed names. Sadly, however, most of them lacked the expected screen time befitting of their popularity. The background of each main characters is also quite lacking in our opinion, making the audience failed to relate the story to an even deeper level. Well, allocating a proper screen time for each plot is hard, with the need of jokes and all in a comedy films especially, so the present condition is quite well done.

    Overall, it is a good movie, and I recommend you to watch it. Why? Well, it is quite rare for an Indonesian comedy film to get this deep of a plot, especially in the recent times. Not sure? You will know when you watch the movie yourself. Prove it. Prove my words, watch the movie.
