Released in 2009, Sell Out! is a comedy and music film directed by Joon-han Yeo, running about 110 minutes. “Don't but me!” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Self-absorbed Malaysian TV host, Rafflesia Pong (Jerrica Lai), whose art-discussion programme is dying from lousy ratings, stumbles upon a golden opportunity when her latest interviewee, an ex-boyfriend, dies in front of the camera. It is perfect timing as she has to find a way to come up with the ultimate reality show to outdo her American-accented pan-Asian rival. Eric Tan (Peter Davis) is a mild-mannered, half-English corporate slave who, like Pong, works for the Fony Corporation. He labours to create the perfect Soyamaker Machine but is constantly assailed by unreasonable insults from his megalomaniacal CEO bosses and is in love with Pong.

Who’s in it. Sell Out! stars Jerrica Xufei Lai as Rafflesia Pong and Peter Davis as Eric Tan.
