m-86730 Sorry, the title I wrote is just a joke, now let's cut to the chase.This Singapore film, again by Jack Neo, very touched, about a boy and a girl called Chew Seow Fang and Chew Kiat Kun, both poor and optimistic, when Chew Kiat Kun accidentally lost his sister's shoes, he knew he had to do something, but, to be honest, Chew Seow Fang's feet looked quite good, I know it's not right, but I had to say that.I guess I saw a very touched scene that I came to my tears, Chew Kiat Kun tried to convince his parents and headmaster to let him join the race to win the shoe prize, and he did his best and won it, I can help myself no more, and I was deeply touched.Remarkable film, competed to the I Not Stupid Too (2006). I ranted 10/10.

neenahhh I have watched this movie a few times before in Chinese class. I never really got to truly appreciate and understand this movie until now."Homerun" is about two poor siblings who have to share shoes after the brother accidentally loses his sisters' pair of shoes. The plot is simple, but amazingly, the movie managed to get deep and emotional. It's truly a wonder.This is really an inspiring film. At first, I thought the plot was too over the top and too unrealistic, but after watching the whole film, I realized: How would I know? Myself, like Beng Soon, was born into a fortunate family and (as he put it:) I don't understand what it's like to live without shoes. I have never been in a situation like that, so I don't have any right to decide whether something like this is unrealistic or whatnot.I love family films and this one, although foreign, is no exception. I really liked the bond that the siblings shared. Even if things would not go the way they wanted it to, they never gave up and always found ways to work through them together. That was inspiring.The one thing I did not like in this film was the humor that seemed to be trying too hard. There were so many scenes in the movie that could have just been cut and made the film better. The so-called funny scenes with Kun's classmates were unnecessary. The bad humor played a big part in my low score for this movie. Aside from that, I think that the cast could have been improved. The movie would do well without some of the students. The lead actor seemed to be lacking in something. However, the actress who played the sister and the actor who played the rival, did terrific jobs.Viewed on: June 17, 2011

koi_koi_cute i have incidentally watched this film from a television channel..and to my surprise i was really so so touched by this film. i was crying the whole time while watching the film. i love the simplicity of the story. it really depicts real life situations as well as emotions. i was so touched how the big brother cared so much for his sister..how the two kids struggled just because they can't replace the lost pair of shoes..whew!the most touching scene was when the two kids would exchange footwear every after class just to get to school with shoes on... a true tearjerker! the film relays many lessons and insights! it teaches about humility, passion, love, care and mostly, HOPE! Every scene is full of emotions. i was able to feel the message that was being sent to viewers like me. i also love the theme song as the film is coming to its climax! everything about the film just amazed me! i can't stop loving it! GREAT! GREAT! GREAT!

jbaietto Wonderful performances by children, good family messages and some truly funny laugh-out-loud moments ("one, two, three, kick!").The Singapore vs. Malaysia water politics were completely missed by me, and it was only after my Singaporean friends explained it to me that I understood the controversy. Anyone not from the region will simply not even notice it.At the same time, the water politics give the movie an interesting aspect, and probably bring light to an issue that most people outside the region would never have heard of previously. So, regardless on your stance on the issue, it can't hurt to bring more attention to the issue.Definitely see this film with your kids!
