This was better than the first!!!! Well I mean...the first might have appealed more to adults and younger kids, but this one is so much like the sorts of things I know is going on that it just blows me away. I cried on this...it's like, the first one was a comedy, and this one wasn't. It was funny too, but more...depressing. The actors are totally hot now, and I'm fifteen, so I guess we're roughly the same age. Maybe that's why both movies appealed to me. And I think this is a much more real representation of what happens in secondary classes. There's no more 'sweet, misunderstood boy' it's more of the angsty teenager. The handphone thing, the teachers...it made me realise a whole lot of things. This movie made me realise how lucky I am to have been brought up the way I am. The actors were really, really good. I felt so sad...especially when they read Tom's (Shawn Lee) blog. This movie mirrors society today. It's not happening to me, but it's happening to people around me, and I can see that...well, I do have friends who face some of the issues here, but not all packed together like it was. That's the only tiniest problem about it. There were so many issues packed into a couple of characters and you find yourself thinking 'That CAN'T happen all at once, right?' but I know, it's just a movie, and it did a brilliant job sending out its message. I can really relate to how they're feeling and it just makes me feel grateful for everything I have. It has a happy ending thing too, but I think that's cute. Being older and more...perceptive(?) now, I guess I can actually understand what Mr Jack Neo is trying to say, so yeah...loved the song, loved the actors, loved the movie in general. Don't miss it if you're a teen! I'm already itching to watch it again...damn nice... :P
score 9/10
