However, if you are NOT a fan, that's a horse of a different color. I guess you could enjoy it for the humor, but keep an open mind. This is a movie about a mystery man flinging poop at high school students. So you can't really go into this movie hoping for a lot of depth and meaning. If anything, there might be a slight hint of meaning about the Korean education system.. but not really. Or at least I don't think they tried to do that, but if someone REALLY wants something more to the movie then good-looking boys and poop... then sure why not.
I really liked this movie and even showed it to some friends, but again we are Super Junior fans. So that's a big reason as to why we enjoyed it so much.

film lucu ala super junior
pemilihan cast utamanya menurutku udah pas. kibum, siwon, kangin dan heechul yang saat itu lagi dipush agensi buat ke entertainment emang paling cocok jadi peran utama.alur ceritanya jujur ga jelas, gimana bisa ada orang yang dalam semalem bisa terkenal luar biasa karena kelemparan tai. lalu kita sebagai penonton diajak nyari tau siapa pelaku pelempar tainya dan siapa korban tai selanjutnya.
heechul si narsistik, siwon si ga ada celah, dan kangin si paling kuat. penggambarannya cocok dan akting mereka juga ga jelek jelek amat buat ukuran idol rookie.
member lain juga punya andil besar bikin filmnya tambah lucu, apalagi si panda gemes.
kibum digambarin jadi anak biasa yang ga menonjol, tapi dia diem-diem punya website buat gosipin tentang wabah pelemparan tai yang bikin korbannya super terkenal.
pas di sekolahnya kejadian ternyata siwon yang jadi korban tapi sempet heran, kok kibum niat banget nyari pelakunya siapa? kok kayak ga percaya siwon jadi korbannya? padahal dia bukan tipe murid yang suka ikut campur.
semua ditutup sama donghae yang jadi korban tai terakhir dan alesan kibum ngelakuin ini semua cuma karena kegabutan dia sebagai siswa sekolah, emang sih kadang kegiatan sekolah yang monoton bikin kita capek dan perlu hal yang seru biar ada obrolan lain sama temen selain pelajaran dan menurut kibum itu hiburan yang seru buat dia karena orangtuanya keliatan cukup strict.
plot twist karena tainya ternyata pake tai panda wkwk, sayang banget leeteuk sama kyuhyun ga bisa ikut syuting karena pemulihan pasca kecelakaan. leeteuk pun cuma bisa nongol bentar pas perform wonder boy sebagai panda.
menurutku super junior punya member-member yang berbakat buat akting, aku sangat nunggu heechul sama yesung buat lebih banyak terjun di dunia akting dan aku juga nunggu kibum buat balik lagi main film/drama.
buat aku film ini menghibur tapi ya cuma buat hiburan aja, ga usah dipikirin alurnya kayak gimana.

The plot line is catchy, even for its more juvenile audience, but it isn't necessarily something I'd find as much interest in, even now at almost the age of 20, in my coming years. It does its job.
The acting I could say was mediocre. The lot of them are primarily K-Pop singers, after all, but they did surprise me in how well, overall, as a composite, the movie turned out to be. Hyun Bin level acting? Of course not, but if you're watching this movie, you're probably not expecting that to begin with.
The music, although a bit biased as I do love the group musically, was good and fit well with the movie and its plot as the scenes progressed.
Overall, the movie is great for light comedy and high school level jokes. A good watch for any K-Pop fans or those who indulge in genres relative to school and dance. :)

Today is not unusual to find idols acting on virtually every single k-drama production, but I guess they were the pioneers. And they were the pioneers in a time when k-pop was still innocent and popular in Asian countries but not yet around the rest of the planet. I have the feeling that these days this type of movie would be unthinkable. K-pop has come to a stage where it takes itself too seriously and idols are more pressured to being capable of doing anything in terms of entertainment.
This movie is just Super Junior being Super Junior. Every member being himself. Or at least what fans expect everyone of them to be according to their public personae.
If you're a k-pop fan this contextualization wasn't necessary and you're going to enjoy this either the reviews are good or not.
The best? The nonsensical, scatological plot, Kim Heechul being... Kim Heechul, Kang In and that panda mascot from the judo team.
The worst? The fact that in the end the story has a moral. Not that I'm against it per se, but you can't lecture high school teenagers about having more self-confidence and spend the rest of the movie calling Shindong "fatso". Whatever.
Also, I expected more screentime for Yesung as a charismatic rocker.
Sadly, youngest member Kyuhyun couldn't take part in the film because he was recovering from the injuries he got in a serious car accident. It would have been interesting to see what his role would have been.
Anyways, it won't hurt to watch this. It's overall an endearing divertimento.

Saruman is a fan of Super Junior, especially Kyuhyun, therefore.. approved-ish!

And LOL at the filmmakers blurring out all of the poop. Was that just a stylistic choice, or were they legitimately using poop and the powers that be in Korea didn’t want audiences to see it?
I’m not sure I want to know.
