Comedy and the romance. There is a few funny scenes that manage to give audience a good laugh.

Not Likes
Very little magic battle and action, the romance happen too fast. The 2 young ones just fall in love like thats, a typical love story. The love story and magic story did not balance very well.

Final thought

Fans of Harry Porter + Eclipse Saga, young teens will definitely enojy the movie or those who enjoy teen love story will too as the movie does focus more on the love story side.
Movie about witches, warlocks and magic and I am expecting a lot of magic battle and CG but I was disappointed. The presentation of spells and magics are weak. Comparing to other magic movie, you can see some fireball, water spells, giant and etc which this movie does not have. I guess I put more expectation on the magic thing but the producer think differently. All in all, not a bad movie if you go in with expectation of watching magic battle.

Sabuti, A Burmese Traditional Food

I came across this stall at the restaurant opposite Pudu Plaza. A typical Chinese restourant selling typical Malaysian food, watan mee, porridge, pan mee, and etc. Then something caught me, some Burmese selling something call Sabuti. From far it look like porridge. When I get a closer look at it, it is soup, like the Indian ox tail or chicken soup. My curiosity tell me to try it. I sit down and order 1 portion. They serve with salt and MSG. An extra RM 1 you will get the fried beef with chili and onion, I warm you...is super hot..at least for my standard. After my first sip and I know why they serve the salt and MSG. The soup is plain, pretty plain in taste. One might enjoy it but not me. I prefer my soup to be a bit "spice". I added the salt and MSG and the soup taste better. Please note this is not a healthy way of eating soup. Don't try it too often :D The ingredient inside the soup, beef and corn. Simple but filling and I can understand why the soup i...

Alex, Marty,Melman, Gloria is setting up to their next adventure and this time the party landed on Europe. They meet new friends at the circus and enemy, the Paris animal control, and has been travel across France, Rome, London and and return back to the big apple, New York City, Central Park Zoo. Again, the movie bring us a lot of laughter and joy. Marty will always so some silly thing, Alex will always save the day will some silly move, and Gloria and Melman will always silly and in love. I love this movie because beside the fun and joy the movie bring, the movie will always carry a positive message of true friendship and family value. I think I like this sequel the most and really touch by the scene when the they return to Central Park Zoo, a place where they called home and realizing they don't fell they are at "home". They suddenly felt that they don't belong to the zoo, they really belong to the their new family at the circus. The circus is the place where...
