Keywords: pragmatics, complaint act, complaint strategy Language as a communication tool relates to conversation. Conversation happens when two or more people express theirselves by exploring words, phrases, or sentences in a certain intention and in certain condition. Conversation consists of speech or utterence. People utter sentences not only to share information, ideas, or needs but also to perform actions. In every conversation, people do not always get what they want. Sometimes they do not get what exactly they expect to. They sometimes get disappointed or dissatisfied with something which happens or done by someone they talk to. That is why people sometimes express their negative feelings in a conversation. This expression of negative feeling is called a speech act of complaining. The act of complaining happens when the speaker expresses the negative feeling towards the other (hearer). In expressing complaint, someone shows his/ her disapproval or disappointment to the hearer. The utterances of complaint also vary from the most indirect to the most direct according to speaker’s intention. As the result, the hearer may also give a response or answer to apologize, deny, or promise to fix what he has done. The main objective of this study is to discover kinds of complaint strategies used by the characters in the movie in a hope that the results of the study would indirectly explore the various forms of English used by native speakers to express one linguistic function, i.e. complaint.
