Add to a movie listAh Boys to Men (simplified Chinese: 新兵正传; traditional Chinese: 新兵正傳; pinyin: xīnbīng zhèngzhuàn; Wade–Giles: Hsin1 Ping1 Cheng4 Chuan4; literally: "Recruits' True Biography") is a 2012 Singaporean-Malaysian two-part comedy film produced and directed by Jack Neo, written by Neo and Link Sng and starring Wang Wei Liang, Noah Yap, Joshua Tan and Maxi Lim. The main plot revolves around a group of army recruits in National Service in Singapore. Neo had wanted to shoot an army-themed film since his army days, but could not find a suitable chance to do so. Ah Boys to Men is the first local film to be released in two parts and the first to film in Pulau Tekong, as well as the first South-East Asian film to feature Dolby Atmos surround sound. The film's theme song, "Recruits' Anthem" was written and composed by one of the cast, Tosh Zhang.
The film was released on November 8, 2012. It is the highest-grossing Singaporean film of all time, and has grossed over four times of its S$3 million budget. Buoyed by audience demand, a third installment titled Ah Boys to Men 3: Frogmen was released on February 19, 2015. It features the same cast but is however not a sequel to the second film.
Synopsis
The film opens with the Republic of Singapore apparently being under an immense invasion from a fictional army, with iconic Singaporean landmarks (such as the Merlion and the Esplanade) coming under fire and many civilians killed brutally. It is later revealed that the war was fictitious setting of a war-based role-playing game played by Ken Chow (Joshua Tan), a rich and spoiled child reluctant to enlist into National Service. Ken plans to study abroad with his girlfriend Amy (Qiu Qiu), but his plans are derailed by NS. After being chided by Amy for his childishness, Ken takes it out on a nearby rubbish bin, to be apprehended by two policemen in the vicinity. A disappointed and embarrassed Amy looked very sad and angry.Actors

Après dix ans de vie commune, émaillés de nombreuses tromperies mutuellement convenues, un couple bourgeois semble au bord de la séparation. À vrai dire, c'est plutôt Livio (Ugo Tognazzi) qui se sent sérieusement menacé. Jean-Claude, le nouvel amant de sa femme Liza (Monica Vitti), a effectivement tout pour plaire : jeune, beau, sportif et... milliardaire. Feignant d'être un mari compréhensif et moderne, Livio invite son rival pour un week-end entre amis... où justement on déjeunera autour du ponctuel anatra all'arancia (canard à l'orange). Toutefois, et à seule fin d'attiser la jalousie de Liza, Livio a également convié son éblouissante secrétaire, Patty (Barbara Bouchet). De cette façon, peut-être, la jalousie et le courroux changeront de côté.

He learns that his father has died under mysterious circumstances while exploring the remote interior of the Central American Republic of Hidalgo.
