I Not Stupid Too

In bustling Singapore, a satirical comedy follows three friends whose lives intersect at a typical secondary school and the homes that shape them. Fifteen‑year‑old Tom is a tech‑savvy blogger who feels the weight of academic expectations while trying to carve out his own identity. His younger brother, bright‑eyed eight‑year‑old Jerry, dreams of the stage and yearns for the applause that seems just out of reach. Their longtime companion, also fifteen, Chengcai brings his own quirks and hidden talents to the mix, completing a trio that captures the restless energy of adolescence.

The film paints a vivid portrait of family life where parents, represented by diligent mother Karen and hard‑working father Steven, juggle demanding careers and social pressures, often leaving their children perched on the edge of misunderstanding. The home becomes a subtle arena of silent expectations, while the school corridors echo with the chatter of teachers, peers, and the occasional bureaucratic absurdity that the story gently mocks. Through clever dialogue and situational humor, the narrative explores how these young characters navigate the chasm between adult responsibilities and the desire for genuine connection.

Balancing wit with heartfelt moments, the movie’s tone swings from laugh‑out‑loud satire to tender reflection, inviting viewers to see the everyday struggles of communication in a modern Singaporean setting. As the three friends grapple with their ambitions, friendships, and the yearning to be heard, the story sets the stage for an honest look at growing up—where humor becomes a bridge across generations and the simple act of listening can begin to heal the gaps that separate parent from child.
