What I loved most: Looking at Fazura..
What I really hated: Everything else
Ok where to start... first off the movie was awful. Its a directorial debut? Fine but that doesn't excuse this load of rubbish. The start had me cringing in my seat and the end (disinilah bermula cintaku?!?) is something not even a pre-teen fantasizing about love would think of. .Everything about this movie is plain wrong..Syarifah Armani, a bloody brilliant actress(both sepet movies) was given a character who if i say overreacts would be an understatement,Pierre Andre's character suddenly has a disease(wot a surprise) which is an obvious effort to get in the sobs, dont get me started on the chessy vioilin playing and i think Fazura's makeup and saloon hair-do at the hospital was mentioned before.. Look i like romantic comedies but this is inexcusable.Everything was wrong People are forking out money to watch this? And how much did the actors get paid to do this movie?!? Bottom line is moviegoers deserve better...Hell the actors in this movie deserve better...What is wrong with malaysian rom-coms nowadays? I got more emotional watching Bolt (latest disney animated movie) Come on lah...Overall weak storyline,even worse script and laughable plot..

Good morning, love!
Despite the intriguing opening, this love drama baby from new director Norliana Samsudin (fondly known as Yana) doesn't really live up to expectations. Although it stands out because of the enticing title, the story is rather tacky. Some would even say it's shallow with clear weaknesses here and there, turning it into a somewhat frustrating film.
Admittedly, from the very beginning one should not put high hopes on this movie. Our giant producer-distributor MIG has been responsible for many weak titles that may have been commercially sound but artistically lacklustre - sometimes, even embarrassing. For instance, it's rather ridiculous for the whole team to overlook several continuity aspects, such as a scene in an ICU ward being shot in a normal hospital ward, and vanity decisions such as Julia (played by Fazura) spotting complete make-up while sleeping and even when waking up in the morning!
It used to be that cheesy titles were Prof. Razak Mohaideen's forte during his stint with Metrowealth. So why in the year 2008 are they repeating the same mistakes? Perhaps the pressure of production and distribution is making as many films as possible in a year, compromising on the quality of a film.
With such a very predictable plot, nothing notably memorable can be expected from this film. However, despite its weak storyline, the audience will be entertained by Fazura, Que Haidar and Sharifah Amani what with their natural and fascinating portrayals. The star appeal could be its saving grace. On another note, it's surprising to see that Pierre Andre, who also penned the script, went astray with his soft-spoken mama's boy performance that doesn't help the story.
All in all, "Selamat Pagi Cinta" is just one of Metrowealth's safe love stories. One star to Yana for her debut directorial effort and another one to be shared between Fazura, Que Haidar and Sharifah Amani for their good job! Since there's nothing really impressive about it, I would really only recommend it to die-hard fanatics of romance flicks, especially the young ones.
