Puppy love* - Donny Osmond

If you missed it like we did when it was released in the cinemas earlier this year, this is your chance to catch it, albeit on a small screen.

Ice Kacang Puppy Love has been released on dvd - and trust me, it is worth the buy!

We finally watched it last nite and we loved it. It was just as good as people say it is. I think this is the only locally made movie that i am proud of!

It has a simple storyline - but one that most if not all of us can easily identify with. Yes, it is about puppy love. First love. It will transport us back to when we were kids and life was simple. We would hang out with our mates, fight with them one day and be the best of frens the next. It will transport us back to when we had our first crush - how we would be so confused and scared, wondering what to do, worrying about how (s)he will respond.

This movie deals with it - and even more. There were sub-plots of relationships with parents which while not dealt with deeply complemented the storyline really well.

The movie captures the age of innocence really well. The actors all did their roles really well - including the supporting cast (the skinny and fat guys will surely make u laugh out loud). Lee Sinje was good as expected. The rest gave credible performances.

Furthermore, the music was pretty good - acoustic music. Very well written and thought of, fits the scenes like a glove.

And i loved the camera angles and the background for a lot of the scenes. the colours were so beautiful - even if it was the colour of a dirty old mossy wall.

I liked how it ended too - i won't spoil it here. Watch it!

And one more thing - you wanna know why it's called Ice Kacang Puppy Love? It's not some random title - and i found it to be quite meaningful.

*I remember listening to this song when i was really really young - but i din know it was actually a remake of Paul Anka's song.
