The objective of this study was to analyze the types, factors, and functions of code-mixing in the movie Imperfect: Karier, Cinta Timbangan directed by Ernest Prakasa. The study uses the descriptive qualitative method. The subject data is taken from the utterances of dialogue on each person in the movie and the object data is taken from the main characters. As a novelty, the study shows theoretical contribution by exploring types, factors, and the function of code-mixing in the movie. This type is determined by the mixing between inter sentential and Intra lexical mixing. This has not been studied in previous research. While the other research studies common types of code-mixing, they ware insertion, alternation, and congruent lexicalization. So, why the authors need to obtain this research because they contribute to adding a new understanding in code-mixing.
