I wasn’t initially excited about catching this film in theaters, but I thought it would be a decent way to spend some time, especially with Eugene Domingo in the lead role. I anticipated laughing non-stop, and that’s exactly what happened. While there’s nothing new about its humor, Eugene’s performance is simply outstanding. She’s incredibly funny and astute. It’s not a cerebral film by any means, but it’s undeniably entertaining. However, there’s this one scene—an ice-skating rink dance sequence—that’s downright bizarre and feels like a total detour. It’s so out of left field, almost like the audience was given a 10-minute break to do whatever they pleased. It was jarring, cheesy, and awkward, to say the least.
John Lapus also provided excellent support in the film, along with Diether Ocampo and Carla Abellana. AJ Perez, Andi Eigenmann, and Arron Villaflor served as eye candy, fulfilling their roles adequately. If you’re seeking a hearty laugh, this film is worth watching. However, if you’re in search of top-notch direction, consider checking out “Salt” or “Inception,” which I believe are still screening.
