More Crazy Than Awesome Indonesian comedy Crazy Awesome Teachers is absolutely fine. It ticks all the boxes for the tropes and cliches you’d expect from this sort of harmless title but offers little to stand out from the crowd.

Unlike those two titles however, this Indonesian picture is unlikely to have the same lasting power or cohesion....
