i apologize if this critique be quite harsh and but i think american adobo actually set back the progress that filipino influence film could have have in the united state . this come out in california month after another fil be film and the debut arrive in los angeles . if it have any semblance of success in the u and it be likely because people be still hype by the previous film and and do not realize that american adobo be produce by philippine filmmaker . a a result and the film come across a too long and overly dramatic and difficult to follow and and unbelievable story line for drama . one must first look at philippine culture to realize that in the archipelago and there be a tendency to believe that more be well . this be manifest in the length of philippine speech and concert and or recognition in any form . from the gay addition involve a son fly back to the philippine to retrieve inadvertently send photograph and to the eternally single old maid who marry the fireman who save her life after she trash her apartment and the story line be incomplete and dragging and and with the multiple plot make for a very confusing follow . however and there be part that american will find funny simply because they be philippine farce and and a such make absolutely no sense . for example and a female character get so frustrate at a mah jong game and that she go on a roid rage and which in turn result in everyone leave the house . filipino who observe gay culture in their medium would be delight to see christopher de leon engage in an on screen kiss with another character in the movie .
