Plot

The movie is about two best friends Bella (Maya Karin) and Intan (Nur Fazura) who go on vacation on a cruise ship. During the vacation, Bella searches for a rich husband which eventually leads her to Datuk Hisham (Eizlan Yusof), while Intan becomes involved with Ari (Aaron Aziz) in a murder case of the well known Datuk Zakaria Hitam (Rahim Razali).

Development

A collaboration by Red Films and Primeworks Studios, the movie is written by Rafidah Abdullah (host of TV3's teen-oriented current affairs programme 3R and writer for Gol & Gincu). She has contributed towards a movie that is bound to create controversy in certain quarters. However, as the director has told the press, "People should watch and value the movie themselves because a quality movie will go beyond the superficial elements and entertain nevertheless." [5]

Cast

Several notable artists made cameos in this movie, such as Afdlin Shauki as the captain of the cruise ship. Comedian Nabil Ahmad plays the owner of Restaurant Marina; the cruise ship's yoga teacher; and host for the ship's in-house entertainment programme "Siapa Nak Kahwin Jutawan" (Malay: "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire"), with Norman Abdul Halim of KRU playing the millionaire in question, Imran. The film's script writer Rafidah Abdullah cameos as the receptionist at Camar Spa while her colleague in "3R", Kartini Arrifin plays a newsreader. Bernice Chauly appears briefly as a teacher.
