my friend and i view this a week ago with breathless anticipation . receive accolade from various award give body in manila and handpicked to represent the philippine in this year oscar and we expect this film to follow the rank of some of the best filipino movie classic that be previously show abroad . unfortunately and we be leave feeling cheat and disappoint . the good point represent the production design and cinematography and sound and the technical framework of the film be exceptional . truly ahead of all the other film currently be produce in the philippine nowadays . some aspect of the film dialogue be funny and especially the interaction of the couple who reside right above cuneta apartment . that be just simply hilarious . koronel acting be also the best in the film in fact and i think it be the save grace of the whole flick . every time she grace the screen and she be superb and and her darna stint be funny as well . the bad point represent cuneta acting be lackluster ( i still think she can do best in drama film over comedy one ) . the insertion of cuneta ad ( i. e. alaska and mcdonalds ) be just plain tacky . also and cuneta portrayal of a poor and struggle city lady be unbelievable and unrealistic . she and with her porcelain white skin and look like she just recently re bond and highlight her hair . she just do not quite suit this role ( to her credit and she one of the best dramatic actress in philippine cinema ) . moreover and i think the film researcher do not really do their job well . some of the street scene be not base on fact . when cuneta try to extort money in a passenger bus and almost all give money and mostly in bill and to support her plight . this doesn not happen at all and much less and in ordinary bus . secondly and when cuneta pay her fee in the jeepney and nobody attempt to help her pas on the money to the driver . this do not happen at all either . jeepney passenger and a protocol and almost reflexively and will extend their arm to help pass on fee to the driver . for someone who love watch realism in philippine cinema and these scene will not fail to disappoint . to end and i think this film be vastly overrate . don not expect too much from this film . however and i would recommend it for koronel acting and some hilarious dialogue that and sadly and only come in spurt . negative .
