Nerd Kevin is in love with classmate Jessica, and she at least likes him back, but there's her boyfriend Mike, a bully, who just finds it hilarious to bully Kevin - to Jessica's dismay, even. However, when Mike goes too far once more, Kevin's friends tell him Kevin will show up to Jessica's party with a woman even prettier than Jessica - a claim almost impossible to live up to ... until Kevin and his friends learn that their favourite internet girl, the lovely Miyabi aka Japanese porn icon Maria Ozawa, will come to Jakarta, so they decide to kidnap her. What they don't know of course is that Miyabi has missed her flight, so they accidently kidnap Mie Yao Bie, a (still very pretty) Chinese tourist, instead. At first, Mie Yao Bie, is more than enraged, but she soon comes to terms with her situation and starts to like her kidnappers - expecially since they live in a luxury house with a swimming pool ...

The Jessica situation is gradually improving when Jessica ditches Mike and asks Kevin out instead ... but then their date is (unintentionally) ruined by Mie Yao Bie, and Jessica is left to believe Kevin is a mean womanizer. She is heartbroken and almost falls for Mike again, but at her party that culminates in a brawl, Mike finally shows his true evil face while Kevin proves to be the hero of the day - and the two of them become a couple after all.

The last scene has the real Maria Ozawa deliver a letter to Kevin and company, but they are way too slow to recognize her ...

 

A movie that caused a huge scandal in Indonesia ... before it was even filmed. The reason was the involvement of Japanese porn icon Maria Ozawa, which didn't sit well with fundamentalist groups just because of what the lovely Miss Ozawa does in her native Japan (there was never supposed to be any sex in Kidnapping Miyabi to begin with), and in fear of protests and maybe worse accompanying Ms Ozawa's arrival in Indonesia, she was more or less written out of the picture, and just a few (perfectly harmless) scenes with her were filmed in Japan.

The film itself though is hardly anything that would justify a scandal, a harmless teen comedy full of clichées one has seen better elsewhere, rather annoying comedy, and a totally predicable romance. In other words a run-of-the-mill movie nobody would even waste too many thoughts about and that wouldn't have made a single headline if it wasn't for the almost-not-involvement of Maria Ozawa.

And it's also a pretty bad, almost annoying movie ...
