The first half of the film feels more of a fan service which caters to fans of Vice Ganda's comedy which I do enjoy pero it pulls away the moment to let the movie shine on its own.
Pero they have their own shining moment with the family drama especially that family confrontation scene. It was a Pinoy family reality. Masakit ang sumbatan, and at some point we all had that moment with our own families.
I can hear sobbing from all corners of the cinema, and I have to admit that it reflected my own reality as well and hit hard. Indeed, a family comedy drama with a great ensemble as well.
They still have the same style of comedy, which I wish they had leveled up with experimenting on a new visual style or camerawork. Also, I felt the plot was all over the place in the first part but found footing towards the end. And having MaPa by SB19 at the end was so moving which triggered the audience to burst in tears.
The film really resonates to us who in their own way is a breadwinner for their family and friends. The film was both to entertain with Vice's signature comedy but also drives the pent-up emotions, frustrations, and family issues that really struck a nerve to many of us.
May this be an eye opener to appreciate our breadwinners and work to end toxic family culture, one bread at a time.
