After leaving his previous company, My Way opened his own beauty and diet products company, MyWay Corp. but things don't seem to go his ways as he keep thinking that his ex-employers are always on his way and keep challenging each other to see who is the best in beauty and diet products.

One day, he plotted a dirty scheme to make his ex-employers pay for everything. At this very moment, his inner self (played by Nono) keeps holding him back to prevent any further suffering caused upon himself but failed instead keeps on blaming others for everything.

To fight with his ex-employers to the death, he planned a new method of diet for the obese societies without thinking of their safety and health until all of them diagnosed with liver cancer after consuming My Way's products......

MY VIEW AFTER WATCHING:

Eventhough Jack Neo's name and popularity had been tarnished and shamed after his sex scandal been exposed having relationships with several Singapore female artiste and rising stars, I've said before to restrained myself from watching his movie for a while until his issue had cool off but somehow I can't resist a good movie especially since Jack Neo is one of my favourite director/actor besides Zhang Yimou, Wilson Ip Wai-shun, Benny Chan etc.

Honestly after watching this movie, I think Jack had already make his apologies and wrong doings to the public (watch and you will know what I meant, don't want to be a spoiler...). Eventhough Jack's usual theme and concept throughout all his movies are the same - comedy begins first and drama ends second, I somehow never grew old of his same old genre style!

'Being Human' eventhough like his previous famous movies under his belt to name a few like 'Where Got Ghost?', 'Money Not Enough 1 & 2', 'I Not Stupid 1 & 2' to name a few is another movie capturing the lifestyle and happenings in our society, I somehow can't stop myself laughing silly throughout the movie and demand for more!

In summary, 'Being Human' really does worth a watch for everyone - be it young and old. Just make sure you bring enough tissue to cry on when the movie reaching it's climax. This movie might also change your negative view towards Jack as well only I hope that his movie genre could be better and plot twisting besides his new genre - Hor-medy (horror + comedy) rather than the same old repeating genre, minus the comedy......

PROS:

• Great story and moral value to chew on
• More and greater laughters
• More mixed Singaporean accents, 'rojak' English and Hokkien language laughter

CONS:

• Just another same old story line where comedy takes over first then sad tragic later
• Another 'laugh and cry' movie production by Jack Neo
• Enjoyable only afraid will bored of watching the same old thing from Jack Neo

RATINGS:

Laughters and sadness balanced, another highlighted of what's happening to our societies nowaday, more and more laughter which we enjoy most from Jack Neo - I think I will rate it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.....

4/5 stars rating for 'Human Being' - enjoyable comedy for everyone, miss the movie - IT'S YOUR LOSS!!!
