The fantasy-action-comedy film "Si Agimat, Si Enteng at Si Ako" starring Sen. Bong Revilla, Jr.; Vic Sotto and Ms. Judy Ann Santos showed strong indications of being this year's top grosser in terms of ticket sales in the annual Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) as the movie opened nationwide yesterday, December 25.  The film is a sequel to the 2010 MMFF top grossing film "Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote," which reaped a gross ticket sales of P31 million on its opening day.  "Si Agimat, Si Enteng at Si Ako" is a joint production of GMA Films, Imus Productions, M-Zet Productions, APT Entertainment and Octoarts Films.

Meanwhile, GMA Films' solely produced MMFF entry "Sosy Problems" starring Rhian Ramos, Bianca King, Solenn Heussaff and Heart Evangelista proved to be a hit not only among moviegoers but also among citizens online or netizens who discussed the film on the social networking site Facebook and microblogging platform Twitter. 

REEL DEAL: Sosy Problems INTERVIEW

Here is the pocket interview with Solenn Heusaff, Rhian Ramos, and Bianca King held last December 18, 2012 talking about their MMFF movies "Sosy Problems."

Note: Heart Evangelista, who is also one of the lead stars of the movie, was not available for the pocket interview because she was dubbing her dialogues in the film.

Q: What are your characters in the movie?

 

SOLENN: “Ako dito si Margaux, I am half-Filipina and half-French.  Wala na akong dad and my mom is married to a French ambassador.  Super super yaman kami.  Actually, wala naman akong masyadong problema except that lagi lang akong in competition with my bestfriend, Claudia (Heart Evangelista).  Bukod sa amin, yung mga mommies din namin are competiting with each other.” 

RHIAN: “My character’s name is Lizzie, and she’s the richest in the group.  She’s very flashy; she’s never subtle.  She likes to flash her money around.  She’s also bossy.  Her problem is actually more of an internal problem.  Her friends and family just give up on her because she’s really a brat and she’s very annoying.  She finds herself by finally living a life of simplicity.  The funny part in it is that when you take someone who doesn’t know how to do what common people do and you put them in a situation where they have no choice, like Solenn in Survivor (laughs).”
