A prince and a princess, a sidekick with bad breath, and a failure of a script. This film flops about in uncertainty, and the actors carry the show like it is something they have to do. Yusri of KRU, who seems to sport a perpetually hesitant grin, looks away from the camera as if to assure us that the film is strictly a business venture. The script projects the characters as royalties with no regal elegance: they talk like badly-dressed robots made vulgar by protocol. The music is often overbearing; if the audience forgets to laugh at a supposed comic relief, count on a pounding of the piano or a bleating trumpet to remind them.
