Our Sister Mambo is a heartwarming and hilarious Singaporean comedy film directed by Wee Li Lin and released in 2015. The movie revolves around the lives of the three siblings in a tight-knit Singaporean family, all of whom are struggling to find their place in the world. Michelle Chong plays the titular character, Mambo, who is the middle child of the family. Mambo is a free-spirited and vivacious person, but she is also seen as the black sheep of the family because of her unconventional ways. Moses Lim plays Mambo's elder brother, Roy, who is a successful doctor but struggles with the fact that his wife and children do not understand his need to work long hours at the hospital. Audrey Luo plays Mambo's younger sister, Ivy, who is a struggling actress and constantly in the shadow of Mambo.

The story starts with Mambo returning to Singapore from her travels abroad to take care of her sick father. Mambo's return to Singapore shakes things up in the family, causing Roy's wife to feel insecure and Ivy to feel jealousy towards Mambo's carefree and daring personality.

As the story unfolds, Mambo helps her siblings deal with various issues in their lives. Roy is struggling with his marriage and Mambo encourages him to seek therapy. Meanwhile, Ivy is struggling with her acting career, and Mambo helps her gain the confidence to pursue her passion. The three siblings begin to learn more about each other and gain a deeper understanding of the family dynamics.

The movie also explores the themes of culture clash and societal expectations. Mambo's free-spirited ways are often at odds with the more traditional and conservative values of her family members. She is constantly questioning why people should have to conform to societal expectations and live their lives according to a set of predetermined standards.

One of the standout features of Our Sister Mambo is its use of humor to explore these themes. The movie is filled with witty one-liners and comedic situations that keep the audience engaged and entertained.
