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 ...
