It was Gala Pyjama Night!!
Music and Lyrics was on, it's in the cinema right now, so we were practically getting a free screening. Where? In Singapore Botanic Gardens. With the trees and mosquitoes. Actually it wasn't too bad, weather was kind to us, we had occasional breeze. IKEA, The Straits Times (Urban) and Golden Village has joined hands to get this Pyjama thing going... It reminds me of the Starlight Cinema at Fort canning, only that we need not purchase tickets for this, what more, they gave me/us freebies for coming! IKEA discount/vouchers and travel/sports bag.
After spreading the word around (I got it in my Inbox) and some hard work of asking around... I went with my sister. Hey, we brought our night-tee okay... pyjamas. We were the bear-sisters! There was a pair of duck-sisters whom were on the stage vying for the "Best Dressed Pyjama Team". We were a bit too late for that, goddamn bus...! Actually it's not the bus, it was just work, and then the journey to get there. By the way, the "Bananas in Pyjama" won the contest.
The film was actually so-so... I find the plot a litte simple and too predictable. Hugh Grant was lovely and especially saucy (with the dance moves) in the show, Drew Berrymore too, a little more passionate than I remember her in other shows! An OK romantic flick for someone who doesn't expect too much... what more to expect if you love song-writing! The sound system was pretty bad, I heard echoes the whole time and couldn't quite make it out when there wasn't even subtitles. Overall, it's quite a new experience and it has been ages I been to Botanic Gardens... Movie in the park, I guess I'll do it again!
My rating: 3/5
