The Panti Sisters

This movie is well thought of. Great acting and chemistry between the characters. Culturally sensitive and witty as well.

I've watched a dozen of LGBTQIA+ movies but the story and the plot twists of this movie were outstanding. The story was a remarkable representation of generation gap and their beliefs.

HOWEVER, the cast was terrible, the dialogues felt stale, and the humor was horrible. This story had so much potential but it was a waste being executed so terribly. I hope there's a remake of this movie in the future with better direction and I can feel it in my gut that'd it'd be a hit.

Very nicee movieee ilove it. I want to recommend the director of this movie he/she is very nice itcomes in twist of movie. Very nice very funny

The performances was overdone and corny. Nothing special about this film in a technical point of view.

I was excited to see this offering on Netflix thinking that it could potentially be the Philippines' answer to the drag queen movie genre of the past such as "to Wong Foo" and "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert". Both of these movies, while not considered the greatest films ever made, excelled in story-telling, were well-acted, entertaining and funny, yet explored the more complex and deeper sides of the drag queen subculture. Sure, some of the plot twists were bizarre but yet they did not take away from the realism and authenticity in the characters being played.

The Panti Sisters actually started out with a great background plot. Three flamboyantly gay sons with a penchant for wearing make up and gender-bending outfits were called upon by their insanely-rich ailing father in his mansion. The challenge they were given was to produce an heir in exchange for their inheritance. The rest of the movie follows multiple plot twists by the three sons as they attempt and commit failures in meeting the challenge.

Unfortunately, the movie relied too much on gay, lesbian, and "gay ally" stereotypes for cheap laughs at the expense of elevating the background story to a deeper understanding and acceptance of the realities of openly flamboyant gay men in the Philippines beyond that of traveling circus clowns and court jesters. All it did is to solidify the all too common "gay character" in Philippine cinema (typically played by straight actors) as caricatures for comic relief lacking in substance or character development enough to make them uninteresting.

The three main actors could definitely act, there's no question about that. To their detriment, the scenes they were asked to portray did not seem genuinely real-life scenarios and were ingeniously exaggerated to create hilarity for the sake of being outrageous. It made the characters one dimensional including the ones in the supporting roles who mostly seemed capable of doing better acting. It left an unsatisfying void of a movie that can surely make an audience laugh out loud yet fail to leave a lasting impression.
