    I like this film. It mainly covers the creative thinking behind a movie, which i like and not like honestly.

    Aku harus katakan bahwa acting Reza Rahardian dan Marsha Timoty sangat bagus. selain realistis, mereka juga dengan baik mengatur cerita lewat mimik mereka yang mengatur mood cerita sangat keseluruhan. Openingnya juga sangat baik menurutku karena kita diperkenalkan langsung dengan karakter, setting, waktu dan pacing cerita khas Comedy Romance.

    Namun, semua itu langsung hilang lewat dialog yang bertele-tele perpaduan scene yang kurang terasa cocok. Kayak
