Ang Dalawang Mrs. Reyes is a hilarious film. Yung tatawa ka ng tatawa hanggang huli. But more than that it's a gay film that shows gayness in all it's colorful glory pero may puso.

Like Die Beautiful, this Jun Robles Lana film is just so much! And here's why:

1. This movie is less drag than Die Beautiful but still as colorful. That shot in Taiwan's gay pride parade is just bursting with fun and gayness. Add  Judy Ann and Angelica's crazy antics and for sure, baklang bakla na sya.

2. OMG! While we're at it, can we just please stop and take a moment of silence for Judy Ann Santos' acting prowess? Jusko! That scene where her husband (played by Joross) confessed his gayness while she's under so much pain killers is just hilarious but oh so painful! Grabe yung aarte ka ng bangag na bangag tapos umiiyak dahil hinihiwalayan ka ng asawa mo? Seryoso, si Juday lang makakagawa nun! Iba sya!

3. Angelica is Angelica. She brought her own brand of comedy on the film. Yung wasak. Yung baliw baliw pero jusko nung acting time na with Juday, di din nagpakabog ang lola mo. If it's a lesser actress who starred with Judy Ann feeling ko lalamunin yun ng buhay. Buti nalang Angelica is sooo good as well. Lumaban eh!

4. OMG! Joross, while we all know is just awesome as a comedy actor, is just a revelation here. Iba si Kuya. Ang galing nya sa La Luna Sangre but here, he is just sooo good! And I'm so happy for him that he is now playing Judy Ann's husband! Di na sidekick. Woohoo! Because honestly this guy deserves it. Galing!

5. While I do not buy that storyline about Judy Ann and Joross' daughter being so understanding and all, I think it's a good call for the director and the writers. There are loads of issues on the movie already. We don't need more.

6. The storyline of Tolayts (sorry! I do not know his name pero yung jowa ni Manang Tiffany sa On The Wings of Love) adds the perfect hilarity pero ang weird nya pa din kasi grabe si Tolayts!!! May pa-abs!!

7. Umihi bago pumasok sa sinehan. Takte! Almost 2 hours akong nagpigil ng wiwi na super hirap because tatawa ka talaga ng tatawa eh. Imagine?! hahaha!

8. Humandang sumakit ang tyan (at pantog) sa kakatawa. Jusko! Jusko talaga!! Mga linyahan nila, di mo kakayanin.

I love musicals! So it's a no-brainer that I am a Pitch Perfect fan. The first 2 are just epic! Aca-mazing!

And the #FabSkye is also a fan eversince she watched Pitch Perfect 2 on Netflix so we head to the cinema to catch the latest, and probably the last, installment.

Honestly, I was thinking that the next Pitch Perfects are gonna focus on Hailey but it looks like na ah. Still Becca. And there's no passing of the crown that happens at all. I guess, there's no Pitch Perfect w/o Becca at all.

This movie is still very Pitch Perfect. With Fat Amy's crazy antics and comedy. Becca's awesome voice and perfect performances. Though its a bit lacking on the "contest" part. I just wish I heard more from the other bands and some more crazy music wars.

But the actions scenes are great! Fat Amy nailed it!

Another must watch if you really like movies like this. But I guess out of the three, this is gonna be my least favorite.

The minute I read about this film (yes, not even watched the trailer yet) I knew I had to watch it because:

1. It's an adaptation of Nick Joaquin's A Portrait of the Artist as a Filipino. I'm a huge Nick Joaquin fan after reading his book Manila, My Manila way back in High School.

2. It's a musical.

3. Joanna Ampil.

I'm really so excited to watch kaya kahit walang kasama, gora ang lola mo! Yes, I watched it alone and I'm so glad I did!

So here are my thoughts about Ang Larawan and why I think you shouldn't DARE MISS THIS FILM.

1. It's a musical. And not the Glee type of musical but more of an opera kind of musical wherein it's normal that they'd sing out the dialogues. Some might find it annoying or weird but I honestly love it. It just gives so much more feels on the film.

2. Speaking of singing, everytime Joanna Ampil opens her mouth parang gusto ko mag standing ovation. OMG! I've always been a fan since I first watched her on A Sound of Music all those years ago. But even before that I've always known her as that PLM'yer who snagged the Kim of Saigon role. A West End superstar that really makes every Filipino proud. The last time I watched her was in Ballet Manila's Rebel and as usual she's more than superb. Pero always sa stage ko sya napapanood so it's a little bit different for me to see her on the screen pero the talent is just the same! Grabe that girl. Di na ko nagtaka when she bagged the Best Actress award. Sorry, pero that black out scene alone kinabog na nya talaga lahat eh.

3. Paulo Avelino is just bursting with sex appeal. And boy! That guy could act! At first I was skeptical when I saw him on the movie poster. Syempre in my mind I was like, "anong ginagawa ng lolo mo dyan?". But well, I guess the creators of the film definitely know what they are doing. He is more than perfect for the role. Okay fine, his voice is not as great as the others (tumabi ba naman kay Joanna Ampil eh) PERO binuhay nya si Tony Javier. As in I can't imagine anybody else doing that seducing scene with Rachel Alejandro. Ang galing ni kuya. Hands down.

4. The cinematography, the music, the story, the directing - this movie is done with utmost perfection. Di sya tinipid. At ang ganda ng bawat anggulo ng pelikula. My 300++ petot is more than worth it. Super more than worth it. Di ka manghihinayang panoorin ulit. Eto ang mga pelikulang dapat mong makita talaga.

5. The rest of the cast are just excellent. As in lahat, kahit yung cameo ni Mikee Conjuanco at ni Ricky Davao. Walang maliit na artista sa pelikula na to. They have Nonie Buencamino, Menchu Lauchengco, Dulce, Nanette Inventor, Ogie Alcasid! Jusko! This is what you call an all-star cast talaga! Lahat magaling both sa pag arte at pagkanta. There's no small role in this film. Celeste Legaspi and Cara Manglapus shines!

6. Naiyak ako pero di ako makaiyak kasi mag isa ako nanonood. I swear. Gusto kong umiyak na gusto kong matawa habang umiiyak pero hindi ko magawa kasi baka i-judge ako ng katabi ko. So warning besh. Hahaha!

7. That scene with the Senator and the blackout scene would give you chills. Iba sya. Tagos.

8. I hope the teachers thought of requiring their students to watch this tapos mag-submit ng reaction paper kasi heller??!! Ganun ginagawa namin noon! And that's the reason why I learned to appreciate great films talaga. Dear teachers, heller?!! Eto na yun oh! Pang reaction paper talaga to eh.

This is the first MMFF movie I watched because the #FabSkye requested for it. The moment she saw that trailer on TV, she has been saying "Pak! Pak! Ganern! Ganern!" all the time. Hahahaha! Benta because she would really imitate Pia's action. Teehee!

Disclaimer lang mga mumsh ah, I know that this movie is not ka-review-review. First, because the story as usual is common with all the superhero stuff. The graphics, though good, is not plausible. But this film is really not made for film critics. Alam ko po yun. Pero sa totoo lang, benta sya talaga sa kids! This film know their audience.

So anyway, sa totoo lang I liked it! I love that this year, MMFF gave us a balance of great movies and good enough movies for the kids. Because honestly, it's a Christmas tradition to watch an MMFF movie with the kids. And for us, it's this film and Meant To Beh.

Honestly benta sya because of the effects and colorful superheroes. The kids love it. It's also hilarious if you like the Vice Ganda kind of comedy. I specially love those spoof scenes of DJ and Vice.

Though I appreciate that the "green" jokes this time is subtle. Aminin nyo that usually Vice Ganda films have green jokes na talaga mapapa-iling ka nalang. Now, meron padin talaga but of course the kids didn't notice. Mga adults lang na may malisya sa buhay. So kudos to the writers and directors for making an effort to make sure the film is appropriate for kids.

The children went out of the cinema really happy. My daughter specially loved all the superheroes. She loves the effects and the colors. She loves the fact that we are all laughing inside the cinema.

When I attended the Meant To Beh blogcon last month, I really promised myself that I won't dare miss it. Aside from the fact that it really looks promising, I'm excited to see bossing's serious comedy film.

I lugged the entire FamBam with me and I swear my daughter was laughing endlessly. Nakakatuwa marining yung tawa ng 3 year old ko. I swear!

So here are the reasons why I love Meant To Beh:

1. Baste!!! Jusko! The moment Baste was shown, tawang tawa na agad anak ko. When he danced that Basteliciouos dance, bumaba ang bagets and danced also. Plus aside from being super cute and funny, that boy could act ah!!! Ang galing! There are scenes kasi where in he's crying kasi Bossing (his Tatay) left the house, ay kaloka! Nakakaiyak yung bata.

2. Dawn and Bossing tandem. There is a certain chemistry between Dawn and Bossing. Nakakakilig sila. Seryoso yun. I love seeing them on the screen together. Plus I love seeing the lighter side of Dawn and the more serious side of Bossing. Totoo nga! It's not their usual roles. Iba eh.

3. The story. Honestly if there's something na talagang love na love ko sa film na to is the moral story. It talks about family at its core. How the kids are affected pag may issue ang family. How even the nicest set of kids could do nasty things even to nice people pag involved na ang family lalo na if they are trying to fix their parent's issue. How important it is to talk to your husband/wife. It would really make you re-assess your relationship with your partner. Sometimes kasi you thought wala ng love when in fact, the love has always been there pero di mo napapansin kasi you choose to focus on the differences o yung nega instead of the positive. It is also very important to stay on a relation ship because you love each other. Not just because of the kids. Sometimes kasi tayo, we would stay on a relationship and would keep on thinking na "it's for the kids" tapos we would feel really really bad kasi lahat it's for the kids hanggang the negativity and self-pity would eat us up. Grabe ang feels ng movie na to! It just proves that you can create a light film na tatawa ka pero may lesson talaga.

Honestly, I didn't expect much on this film. Kasama kasi sya dun sa list ng films na alam kong no brains involved at tatawa lang ako kasi nga it's a Bossing Vic film. Mali ako besh! Lumabas kasi ako ng movie house appreciating my family more. Perfect for new year kasi parang after that, ililista mo sa NYR mo ang pagkausap sa asawa mo gabi gabi kahit gaano ka kapagod!
