Synopsis
In the whimsical 1991 comedy Forgotten Rules, a group of friends finds themselves in a hilarious predicament as they navigate the chaos brought on by a masked burglar terrorizing their neighborhood. Dono, the resourceful mastermind of the group, along with his quirky housemates—Indro, Anneke, and Debby—decide to take matters into their own hands. Their plan involves a cheeky newspaper ad meant to bait the thief, but things take a wild turn when their attempts to thwart crime lead to a comical case of mistaken identity. A police officer, mismatched with buckteeth and an eye-catching gold bangle, becomes their unwitting captive after they're convinced he’s the burglar.
As the plot unfolds, the group faces a series of slapstick misadventures, including the unexpected arrival of the real burglar disguised as a policeman, who seeks revenge for their earlier antics. Forgotten Rules cleverly explores themes of friendship, miscommunication, and the fine line between heroism and foolishness. With its lighthearted tone and engaging ensemble cast, the film balances comedic moments with a sense of tension as the characters grapple with their own blunders. If you're in the mood for a fun crime caper that highlights the absurdities of human nature while keeping you laughing, this charming 90s flick might just be the perfect pick for your next movie night.
