Every Sunday, the Nguyen household erupts into chaos as two sisters frantically prepare for their piano lessons. One day, the main character does not want to go to her piano lesson, so she makes a funny song about it called "I Don't Want To Go to Mrs. Hum."
This middle student film is a kick and perfect for KIDS FIRST! It's my favorite film of the week! I recommend this film because it is funny and fun. I like that the story tells of the hardships of learning something new through a song. I don't like that the piano teacher compares the girl to her sibling. The camerawork is well done. The lighting falls a bit short at times, but not distressingly so. Creatively, two actors play all the different characters -- Khang Nguyen and Minhtu Nguyen portray two sisters, as well as the piano teacher, and even the dad. They are also the film's writers, directors, and producers. It's fun that this film is somewhat biographical in telling their own story about piano as an integral part of their daily lives from the whining to the procrastination, jokes and enjoyment. The two of them are adorable and make great appearances on camera. The music plays a big part in this film because the whole story is told through a song. My favorite scene is when they go crazy practicing their instruments.
The film's message is that sometimes kids need a break from their activities.
I give I Don't Want To Go to Mrs. Hum 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 12, plus adults. By Avani M. and Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
