Hilarious

Even Mike de Leon has a sense of humor. This film not only pokes fun at commercial imperialism, but also at the little dictators who control the Philippine economy - the Chinese movie producers and the Catholic church. George Javier stands out as the idol of the imperialist colonizers. He still maintains his bumbling persona, in an unusually somber manner. The animation is put to good use (watch the battle of the subtitles between the Japanese and the Chinese!) A winner all the way!

Mostly Successful Comedy

Available at FDCP Streaming Website with hardcoded English subtitles with other Filipino Classics.This was a wacky comedy about two couples who got involved between two race gangs that shockingly piqued its way into some smartly conveyed messaging that never truly felt politically incorrect for the most part. This because , it still has that Chinese can't say their 'R' jokes midway.But primarily, It was in the end about the drug trade - AND *surprise* the fight for better product Quality between the Japanese and Chinese Gang Lord. Who is better? They fight in a broadway-esque musical about spreading the bread about it. Also, I am not the only one here that the Visayan Catholic father has Cocaine ticks AND that is a plot beat RIGHT?It is a bit all over the place.I felt that it worked 2/3 of the way. The first third AND the last third was amazing. The second third is a hit or miss. I felt that the jokes also (especially the Chinese Bath section and that Promote guy) truly hits uncomfortable in a boring way. I am huge FAN of Waters - AND I would have loved if they lay it BARE UNAFRAID and with INFINITE conviction but they never did in that section. It WAS a SLOG.But when it succeeds, its goes truly hard. I really love how the joke in this is how confident the Japanese guy of his country's product AND how good it is AND the joke for the Chinese Ganglord is that she steals designs AND make it easy to buy. It never goes to places you'd think it go AND it even ups the ante to the famous musical sequence about the bread of their works.Recommended. This definitely has its moments BUT I felt like there are true problems in this film. Good Comedy with some Date Problematic Jokes.
