Who does not know Dian Sastro? No one can deny her charm as Cinta in Ada Apa Dengan Cinta, one of the pioneer in nasional movie resurrection. But—sorry for being honest—this movie too much relying on her popular name.

Unfortunately, in this movie, her role as Kalin—a busway ticket guard—was not charming at all. Dian played the role full of doubts, as if she never played any role before. The plot itself, terrible. Kalin, met Lando (Rizky Hanggono), a broken hearted photographer in the busway. Then, Lando asked Kalin to be his model.

As you can guess, they both fell in love. With Lando's help, Kalin's face was put in some magazine cover. When Kalin in a condition of depply falls in love with Lando, surprisingly he dumped her. The reason was because he got Leukimia.

After Lando dumped Kalin, his carier went down tragically. On the other hand, Kalin’s star shines brightly. But, she dropped it all when she lost her sight on an accident which ”accidentally” happened after she met Lando.

If Kalin's role was so alike Cinta, Lando's role is worse. We got to admit that Rizky Hanggono is not a perfect actor (actually, before this, he’s not an actor at all) for this role. You barely feel the photographer soul and characteristic. Dramatic scene that the director wanted to show, played poorly by Rizky.

The only scene worth watch is when Kalin lips met Lando's. Actually, even the real scene is censored by LSF because they thought the scene is too hot. Want to watch it? You are wasting your time, pals! But, if you respect so much in Indonesian movie, go for it!
