3 Hari Untuk Selamanya

3 Days to ForeverDirected by Riri Riza, starring Nicholas Saputra and Adinia Wirasti.

Yusuf and Ambar were two cousins, heading to Jogja on a road trip together, to attend Ambar's sister's wedding. Along the journey, they made some unplanned stops, met some different characters and in the end finding that the 3-day journey filled with sex, funny incidents and remote places, made them discover and learn more about life and ultimately, themselves.

Always good to see an Indonesian film with more sex, made it look 'brave'. (Although lately everybody's doing that, right?) Reviews said that this is a real, frank and blatant look of the young urban life of Jakarta's youth nowadays. Well, my life is so far away from the characters' so I can't say "Man, this is so real." or anything like that. But yeah, this film is very well-made, the acting was actually quite good enough, with jokes slipped in on the right scenes, but to tell you the truth, it felt too Y Tu Mamá También for me. Nevertheless, do see it. It surely was entertaining enouh for me. (Plus, Adinia Wirasti turned into this oh so sexy girl.. forget AADC.)

SPOILERS
The sex in the end was very Y Tu Mamá También, except this one had an incestuous twist. And then the meeting they had after that, all the awkwardness.. So Y Tu Mamá También. And then it ended. Y Tu Mamá También.

7 / 10. Because it reminded me too much of Y Tu Mamá También. (God, how many times did I type that thing?)
