****ALL CREDITS TO JAMES BOWEN**** I decided to read the books after seeing the film. It was interesting to see how they changed things in the book and how one sentence in the book could turn into a whole bit of storyline in the film that isn't there in the book. Bowen is to be commended on bringing the issue of homelessness and drugs to a mass audience in such a sympathetic and engaging way. He could have written one long whine about how it went wrong and people didn't give him a chance but it is more like a fantastic tribute to the power of pets and one cat in particular to change a life. It is also wonderful to read about the fabulous people he met and how they helped him when he was in desperate need - it really helps restore your faith in humanity. He doesn't mince his words about some idiots he also came across but the kindness of others was moving.

"None of us, including me, ever do great things. But we can all do small things, with great love, and together we can do something wonderful." Ilham, hanya berhasrat untuk mengecapi impian kecil yang sudah lama disimpan. Amri, hanya melaksanakan impian kawan baiknya, demi kawan baiknya. Titik perkenalan terungkai di situ. Di mana Nukman, Muiz, Budi, Shamim, Alex dan Seri terselirat di babak dan jalan cerita mereka, yang intipatinya bersalut pahit dan manis diuli. Ini genre bioskop mereka.
