Homerun (2003) watch online

Homerun (Chinese: 跑吧孩子; pinyin: Pǎo bà Hái Zǐ) is a 2003 Singaporean period film and comedy film. A remake of the award-winning Iranian film Children of Heaven, it is a film about two poor siblings and their adventures over a lost pair of shoes. Set in 1965, the year Singapore separated from Malaysia, and satirises the political relations between the two countries, leading to its banning in Malaysia.

The film was written and directed by Singaporean filmmaker Jack Neo, and produced by Mediacorp Raintree Pictures. It stars Shawn Lee, Megan Zheng, Xiang Yun and Huang Wenyong. Filming took place in the rural outskirts of Greater Kuala Lumpur (in Sungai Muntoh village, Jelebu, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia) during November and December 2002, but post-production delays pushed back the film's release date.

Released in cinemas on 7 August 2003, the film grossed over S$2.3 million during its nine-week box office run. It was nominated for two awards at the 2003 Golden Horse Awards; Zheng, then 10 years old, became the first Singaporean to win a Golden Horse. Generally, however, critical reception of the film was mixed.
