Mamma Mia! The Movie (2008)

This movie is entertaining enough, due mostly to the songs. However, the plot sure is paper-thin and does nothing to enhance the songs and is just a device to string them all together.

Kallang Roar: The Movie (2008)

Had low expectations but was pleasantly surprised. For one thing, I'm not a fan of football, nor any of the cast. But the debut feature by Cheng Ding An did get one thing right, IMHO, and that is giving the audience a story that they can care about. No doubt the acting and lines can get a little clumsy here and there, but overall this is pretty much a sweet and heartwarming drama about pursuing your dreams and achieving the seemingly hard to achieve goals in life. Lim Kay Siu pretty much anchors the story with a fiery and passionate performance. And the ra-ra moments don't come across as too heavy handed to me either.

The Days (2008)

For a feature debut, the technical departments comes across as more than competent. However, the storytelling is pretty flat and dull.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)

Not everything for mature people have to be serious. This is light hearted entertainment for the mature crowd. It's a heartwarming romance comedy. Love how they integrated the songs into the movie, and also the product placements. All the cast were great, even the extras! A feature length situational comedy is how this film could be described as well.
