Ah Long Pte. Ltd.

Last Wednesday (Movie Day!) I went to watch Ah Long Pte. Ltd., another creative creation by Singapore actor cum writer cum director, Jack Neo (a.k.a. Liang Po Po) with 3 other friends:

It was released last week. Well, what to do…new movies was released quite slow in Miri. It was released two weeks earlier in West M’sia. Gosh! How I wish they build a Golden Screen Cinema (GSC) here. Well, kinda missed the GSC in Penang, hehe! So this is another production from Jack Neo. I got to say he is very creative! Love his movies (Money No Enough, Liang Po Po, I Not Stupid, Home Run, The Best Bet, I Do, I Do, I Not Stupid Too, Just Follow Law).

I find every of his movies very meaningful! Thr’s a morale behind every of his movies. His movies has always been very heartfelt. His movies never fail to make me laugh and cry and laugh. Tat’s superb! I loveee movies wif the combination of humour + gan[3]-dong[4]-ness tat make me cry and laugh and cry.

Sypnosis:

Ah Long Pte Ltd 《老师嫁老大》 is a light-hearted black comedy about the triad world and the money-lending business. Instead of treating the subject of Ah Longs (money-lenders) seriously, the movie takes on a humorous and sarcastic treatment. It depicts how a young lady tries to restructure her money-lending triad into a professional and ‘loving’ triad that stands against the use of violence after she takes over from her triad leader who has retired. Her various restructuring plans (which are no doubt very creative) bring about hilarious results.

Chen Jun (played by Richard Low) is the leader of Shao He Triad. The story opens with him deciding to “retire” from the triad business. Prior to his retirement, he elects Wang Li Hua (played by Fann Wong), a young but tough girl, as his successor.

Li Hua believes that changes need to be made to the current money lending system . Although Li Hua prioritizes the triad’s success, she is very much against the idea of using violent means to collect debts. Therefore, with the help of some professional consultants, Li Hua and several of her subordinates (played by KK and Daniel Tan) start adopting a series of creative tactics to attract money lenders and practice hilarious methods to pressure the money-lenders to repay in a non-violent way. However, Li Hua’s plan of “restructuring” her triad meets with obstacles and opposition from the majority of the conservative elders in both her own triad and rival triad.

At the brighter end of the world, Mr. Fang (played by Mark Lee) is a kind-hearted dance instructor who is slightly sissy in character. Fate has it that Mr. Fang runs into Li Hua on numerous occasions by chance. Since Li Hua’s mother has been pressuring her to get married, Li Hua decides to force Mr. Fang to marry her. Surprisingly, Mr. Fang agrees to it, wanting to prove his masculinity. Though finding it hard to accept the fact that Li Hua is a triad head, Mr. Fang approves of her effort to minimize the use of violence. Subsequently, he offers to help Li Hua out by introducing creative ways to reduce violent methods of debt collection.

Go and watch on ur own to knw more and to knw ’bout the ending!

Many of the scenes are directed in Malaysia (KL). Then some parts of this movie is very exaggerate, which is very hilarious as well! This movie is worth to watch!

Fann is one of my fave SG actress, been watching her acting in SG drama series n other misc. movies like a decade plus ago. Jack Neo & Mark, oh these duos…I have been watching them acting more than a decade ago, since I’m in primary sch. They are always super duper funny! Both are comedian, so u-know-why!

All these while, I’ve been watching Fann’s acting as a beautiful babe, la-la girl, corporate woman…all lady like role…never see her acting like a tomboy until she acted in Just Follow Law. Tat was a big surprise though! This is the 2nd time I c her acting like a tomboy, again! Over years, her acting had improved a lot!

Right now, I’m looking forward to Jack Neo’s new film, Money Not Enough 2. It shall be another great film by him!
