With the release of Lady Boss (2005), audiences are invited back into the world of Comedy. At its heart, the film explores complex themes wrapped in a compelling storyline. As the plot unfolds, we see characters navigating a world where stakes are high. "Sheila is the spoilt daughter of Dato Ismail. Ever since she was young she always got what she wanted and now, tired by her attitude, her father offers her a challenge; run his company for two months. Accepting the challenge, Sheila becomes the 'lady boss' of the company, but things are not all smooth-sailing for the obnoxious Sheila."

🎬 Performance & Direction

A movie's success often hinges on its execution. In Lady Boss, even the presence of Saiful Apek struggles to save a script that feels disjointed. The direction aims to balance pacing with character development, a hallmark of good Comedy. While there are moments of brilliance, the pacing occasionally dips.

🏆 Final Verdict

Ultimately, Lady Boss misses the mark on several fronts. With a runtime of 110 minutes, it asks for a significant time investment, but for the right audience, it pays off.
