About This Movie

So, Dubsmash is this drama-romance flick that dives into the life of Teejay, a new kid in Indonesia hailing from the Philippines. The film balances a light-hearted atmosphere with deeper themes around family and emotional struggles. Teejay's charm comes through his Dubsmash videos, which he uses to connect with people, especially the girls at school—there's this infectious, fun energy that makes his character really stand out. Meanwhile, Elsa, played by Jessica Mila, provides a stark contrast with her broken home story, creating an interesting dynamic. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but it adds to the authenticity of these high school experiences. The performances have a certain raw quality that feels genuine, and it’s interesting how the film navigates the impact of social media on relationships.
