Add to a movie listI Not Stupid Too (Chinese: 小孩不笨2; pinyin: Xiǎohái Bù Bèn Èr; literally: "Children are not stupid 2") is a 2006 Singaporean satirical comedy film and the sequel to the 2002 film, I Not Stupid. It portrays the lives, struggles and adventures of three Singaporean youths — 15-year-old Tom, his 8-year-old brother Jerry and their 15-year-old friend Chengcai — who have a strained relationship with their parents. The film explores the issue of poor parent-child communication.
The director and screenwriter, Jack Neo, was inspired to make the film by a book about appreciation education. The movie was produced by MediaCorp Raintree Pictures on a budget of S$1.5 million. It stars Jack Neo, Xiang Yun, Huang Yiliang, Shawn Lee, Joshua Ang and Ashley Leong. Filming took place at several Singaporean schools in June 2005.
I Not Stupid Too was released in cinemas on 26 January 2006, and earned over S$4 million in total. The film became the second-highest grossing Singaporean film in history, with only Money No Enough grossing more. At the 2006 Hong Kong Film Awards, it was nominated for Best Asian Film, but lost to Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles. Critical reception was also generally positive, although some criticized the movie as overly preachy. A serialised version of the film was aired later that year.
Synopsis
The plot revolves around the lives of Tom Yeo (杨学谦 Yáng Xuéqiān; Shawn Lee), his younger brother Jerry (杨学强, Yáng Xuéqiáng; Ashley Leong) and their friend Lim Chengcai (林成才 Lín Chéngcái; Joshua Ang). 15-year-old Tom is technologically inclined and a talented blogger, while 8-year-old Jerry enjoys the performing arts and has the lead role in his school concert. Mr. and Mrs. Yeo's (Jack Neo and Xiang Yun) busy schedules give them little time to spend with their children, leading to a strained relationship. With his mother absent, Chengcai was raised by his ex-convict father (Huang Yiliang), whose fighting skills he inherited.Actors

The film's storyline revolves around the lives and families of three students in the EM3 academic stream, Terry Khoo (Huang Po Ju), Liu Kok Pin (刘国彬 Liú Guóbīn; Shawn Lee) and Ang Boon Hock (洪文福 Hóng Wénfú; Joshua Ang). Terry, pampered and from a rich family, is a meek and obedient boy, with a domineering mother (Selena Tan) and a negligent businessman father (Richard Low). Kok Pin is pushed to excel at school by his mother (Xiang Yun), but he shows a talent for art, not academics — much to the consternation of his family. Boon Hock and his mother struggle to make ends meet by running a small wonton noodle stall; to make up for the lack of a father figure, he places high value on loyalty and "manliness" in his friends.

À Saint-Omer, dans le Pas-de-Calais, Michel Racine est un président de cour d'assises implacable, qui suscite peu de sympathie parmi les avocats de la défense et certains collègues en raison de son caractère distant et austère, ce qui lui vaut d'être surnommé le « Président aux deux chiffres », car les accusés des procès qu'il préside en prennent pour plus de dix ans. Il vit à l'hôtel, séparé de sa femme. Bien que grippé, Racine préside le procès de Martial Beclin, accusé d'avoir mortellement frappé son nourrisson de sept mois, Melissa, à coup de bottes rangers. L'accusé refuse de se justifier, préférant répéter qu'il est innocent. Racine opère la sélection des jurés, issus de différents milieux sociaux. Soudain, il tire au sort le nom de Ditte Lorensen-Cottret, qu'il semble connaître. Lorsque les jurés se rendent dans un bistrot pour faire plus ample connaissance, Racine envoie un SMS sur le portable de Ditte. Il est révélé que Ditte travaille comme médecin anesthésiste dans un hôpital, qu'elle est divorcée et mère d'une adolescente de dix-sept ans, et qu'elle a soigné Racine à la suite d'un accident six ans auparavant. Racine, tombé amoureux d'elle lors de son séjour à l'hôpital, lui avait envoyé une lettre d'amour, restée sans réponse. Il l'avait revue lors d'un repas entre amis, mais elle avait coupé court à toute relation. Ils reparlent du passé en buvant un verre, dévoilant une facette plus humaine de la personnalité de Racine.
