Reception

[edit]

Susan Tsang of The Business Times wrote: "Despite quite a few hiccups, notably a script where everyone, bar the odd banker or tai-tai, is decent, Where Got Problem, like its characters, blithely carries on and pulls us along with it."[4]

Edwin Yeo of The New Paper rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote that the "competent" storyline is "hampered by technical problems", and that the "choppy" editing "distracts" from the "credible" performances of Lim and Neo.[5]

Lynn Seah of The Straits Times wrote: "Uneven acting and intrusive product placements add to the troubles of the latest Singapore big-screen offering", and praised the performances of Wang, Chen Xiuhuan and Yap while criticising the performances of Lim, Neo and Edmund Chen.[6]
