The movie is a satirical movie that humorously explores the intricacies of office

politics, seen through the eyes of blue-collar worker Lim Deng Zui and Vice President
Tanya Chew who, through a freak accident, swap souls and bodies. They each
experience life in the shoes of the other and come to a better understanding of the
plights and challenges facing the workforce in Singapore.
The movie is about Zui, a blue-collar worker in the WAS (Work Allocation Singapore)
department and Vice President Tanya Chew (Fann Wong), who are always disagreeing with
each other. After a freak accident, they swapped souls. When they failed to switch back, they
experience life in each other's shoes. This is when they come to a better understanding of the
plights and challenges the other faces. After a series of incidents, they come to see eye-to-eye
on many matters, and try to switch back to their respective bodies by repeating the accident.
Although this works in a not-too-fresh idea of soul-swapping, it is certainly enough to get you
laughing from the beginning to end. One may think that this is a copycat version of
Hollywood's "Freaky Friday" but this movie gives you more than you would expect.
Singh and Wong are hilarious playing persons with the soul of the other. It even makes you
wonder why Wong would take up such a role. Check out the scenes where Tanya (in Zui's
body) has to bathe Zui (in her body) because she does not want him to 'touch' her. On the
other hand, Zui helps Tanya in the toilet because "why should I let you touch my 'little
brother', when you don't allow me to touch your body"? Also, not forgetting the scenes where
Zui (in Tanya's body) 'molests' her by grabbing the breasts and all. The ways they try to
irritate each other are entertaining.
However, besides the comedic elements, there are serious messages in this movie. Neo
explores office politics, the inflexibility caused by the rules that civil servants must adhere to
at work. All these rules and procedures cause even the most patient and obedient civil
servants to get frustrated. One episode shows how Tanya is asked to send in a requisition form
for the air-conditioner to be on after office hours (which takes three days to process), but she
can opt to get a fan, which also needs a requisition form, but needs only two days to process.
The soul-swapping device is a good way to show how the different managerial levels think.
The family element is also brought into the movie. It shows how in our lives, we tend to take
things for granted, and only by not being yourself, you would be able to see what others have
done for you.
Both Singh and Wong manage to convince the audience. At times it even seems as if Singh is
possessed by Wong, and vice versa. The other cast members, with Neo as the surgeon, and
Brandon Wong and Suhaimi Yusof as Zui's friends and housemates, provide strong support.
With terms such as 'cover backside' (cover up your mistakes), 'arrow me' (put the blame on
me), they certainly get you laughing uncontrollably.
Neo makes use of computer effects, with arrows flying from one office to another, implicating
the troubles and blames which are targeted from one department to another.
One thing worth mentioning is that this is not a 'Chinese' movie. It has a lot of English
dialogue. If you have understood the Phua Chu Kang 'Singlish', this would not be a problem for
you too.
"Just Follow Law" is a comedy that is really worth the two hours in the cinema.

Just Follow Law (simplified Chinese: ) is a Singapore-produced

comedy film starring Fann Wong and Gurmit Singh. This film began shooting in highdefinition video format in February and March 2006 and was released in Singapore on 15
February 2007. [1]

Directed by Jack Neo, the film takes a satirical look at the inflexibility of outdated
governmental rules and regulations and the rigid mindsets of local civil servants who
follow rules to a fault, charming and delighting audiences with its humorous and
perceptive insights. The title is a pun on the Singlish phrase 'just follow lor', which means
to comply with orders without questioning why.
The plot revolves around two people : the blue-collar worker Lim Teng Zui and the
director of the Events and Promotion of Work Allocation Singapore (WAS) Tanya Chew.
Early on, it is revealed that Lim is a single father of a daughter and is quite poor, while
Tanya has a mother but does not care for her. During a VIP visit, the combination of
Lim's poor work ethics and his incompetence causes the VIP to fall when the wall gives
way due to it being held together with masking tape instead of nails. An investigation is
carried out, and 'finger-pointing' is done to find the scapegoat, in which Lim is blamed.
As a result, his bonus is cut.
Infuriated, Lim confronts Tanya, and he chases her in his vehicle until they hurtle off the
bridge. The duo are then sent to the hospital. When Tanya and Lim awaken, they find out
that they have switched souls. After this exchange, they try to reverse the process, but fail
to do so. They are forced to accept the fact that they can't get their bodies back, and adapt
to living in each other's bodies. Tanya upgrades her skills, while Lim idles around.
Due to Lim's negligence, the department grossly overspends and the CEO, together with
Chee and Eric, who had been offended by Tanya earlier, plans to shut down the
department. In an attempt to save the department from closure, Tanya and Lim plan to put
on a Job Fair Exhibition so that the CEO would think again about shutting it down.
Tanya and Lim try some ways of getting publicity, but in the first attempt, red tape gets in
their way and they would have to wait at least three months to be able to do anything. In
the second attempt, the company receives complains from the members of the public. The
duo decides to forget about the rules and makes the Exhibition a success, incurring Eric's
and Chee's wrath, who proceed to sabotage the Exhibition. Tanya and Lim deal with the
obstacles right to the end of the programme, where the sing-along ends in disaster as
sparks from the planned pyrotechnics cause the stage to burst into flames. The majority of
the audience flees, but Lim's daughter is trapped. Lim saves her, but as he is still in
Tanya's body, the daughter runs to Tanya instead. Lao Zha Bo(pronounced Lao Za Bor),
Tanya's mother, frets about Lim while the other looks on. They realise several things and
they come to appreciate the difficulties the supervisor and the subordinate have to deal
with.
At the end of the movie, it is revealed that the company has folded. The CEO was
blacklisted for making too many mistakes. Eric and Chee were sacked when the plot was
discovered.
Lim and Tanya decide to re-enact the accident in an attempt to get back their original
bodies. The credits roll as they start their vehicles.

[edit] Ending
After the credits, Lim's daughter calls Tanya mother, which suggests that the two married.
The pair makes fun of each other by behaving in their idiosyncratic manners, and it is
suggested that their attempt to reverse their bodies is successful.
Or it can also be seen that the attempt was not successful, as "Tanya" scratches herself in
a manner which she did while the souls were switched, and "Lim" told her off, just like
before. This would assume that things are still the way they were, and that the "switch"
was not successful. The marriage was the method by which they could both still be with
their respective daughter and mother.
