A crazily optimistic girl~

I Not Stupid Too (warning, SPOILERS!)

I not Stupid Too was great. It was incredibly funny at the start. I loved it when it seemed like the grownups were talking and it sounded and looked like nonsense, going in one ear and out of the other. Now, Shawn(Tom) and Joshua(Chengcai) are in Sec. 3 Normal Tech.(and they are shuai lor! *ahem*,*clears throat*)

Tom has a brother Jerry whose "friends" push him to kiss a girl and when they both fall asleep, the "friends" put them on a pile of bags, making it seem like they slept together. Naive Tom believes his friends that it means the girl will be pregnant.(they are in primary school, mind)He tries to ask his parents where babies come from, but they reply that he will know soon enough. Overhearing teachers say that eating pineapples will cause a miscarriage(it's an old wive's tale) he buys lots of pineapples for the girl to eat. So, she eats until her stomach hurts and he brings her to a doctor. The doctor is confused when Jerry say the child is mine. Their parents are called and the situation is resolved.(he got a pretty bad scolding though)It was hilarious.

I cried first at something very touching Jerry did. To his father's client, an hour of his dad's time is worth $500. At first, it seems like he is saving up for Pokemon cards. He even steals from a canteen vendor. But, he gave the money to Tom because he didn't want to see his brother in jail.(he got caught shoplifting with Chengcai [maligned by their gang. some friends they are]by "policemen" who agreed to let him off only if he paid $2000, but that's another story) The crying part came when Jerry confessed that he stole only because he wanted to buy an hour of his dad's time to tell him about his performance. It was just so sweet.

Chengcai's father loved his son, but didn't know how to express it. His son only knew when his dad was in hospital and dying and resolved to go back to school. He made use of his talent,fighting to win a gold medal for Singapore.

Another touching part was when the two sec.3's stole a necklace from a old lady, but felt guilty and returned it. Tom's dad came and begged the old lady to tell the police that he robbed her, not his son. When the police arrived, both father and son insisted they stole it, but the old lady lied, saying she made a prank call.

I feel that teachers and parents watching this movie would understand their students or children more. Two thumbs up and five stars.

P.S. The trailer for Nanny McPhee was shown and boy, was it awesome.
