The character's utterance in the movie occasionally contains additional meaning which is very important to recognize in order to avoid misinterpretation. To assist in conducting the research, theory from Grice (1975), and Leech (1983) was used. This study used both formal and informal methods in providing a better understanding about the types of flouting maxim and the motivation for flouting the maxim. The data were collected from the characters’ utterances in the movie, and descriptive qualitative method was used to analyze the data.
