I don't know how to start this but I just watched it. I didn't watch it in Cinemas because I never know this will be the kind of musical movie that I will expect but I regret it and also because we didn't have Musical Type Movie before but then This is a Success. If this movie will have PART 2. I will be the number one in the line..
Also, the first movie came out of my mind when I watched this movie is Mamma Mia. Next, Rock of Ages because of the part of Neil Coleta(Brent) If you will watch the movie. The part that the song "I Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore" but not the exactly just reminded me. He is just funny to be that. Lastly, "High School Musical" the basketball part "Put your head in the Game". Then I read a review from 3xHCCH. Yeah, I'm surprised that the director is really inspired from "Mamma Mia".
If you are a fan of many musical films you will know why. My Standard of the Filipino movies really gone high because of this movie. I never know it will end up like this.
The cast are very good. Each Cast has a highlight. Nobody is left behind. You will say that "If one is not around, the movie will not be good" I can't express myself very well but the thing I want to say. The whole cast is a PACKAGE. Character is just compatible to every cast. The "Awit ng Barkada" scene with Eugene, Frenchie and Sweet reminded me of the song "Chiquitita" number from "Mamma Mia". Eugene Domingo and Ogie Alcasid. I like them great comedian especially the part of "Di na natuto." Gary Valenciano and Zsa Zsa Padilla are really good artist/singer. I cannot explain much about the couples but I really love them very much. The "Salawikain" part is amusing also. It is like Hollywood musical film. It is cute cause everybody has given a part of the piece. As the lovers, Sam Concepcion and Tippy dos Santos have a good chemistry in their scenes. The duets always reminds me of "Rock of Ages" cause they're cute. "Panalangin" and "Ewan" of them (TWO THUMBS UP). Tippy dos Santos voice sounds like "Julianne Hough" of Rock of Ages but the Local Version. I never know her not because of this movie but I think I like her. Sam Concepcion is my idol cause my mother always say I look like him. Back to him, He is a good actor and singer and dancer. APO Hiking Society songs are great and the songs match with each scene. Some scene are predictable but surprise because it is new to me.
The movie is brilliant, amazing and superb. If you ask me If I will gonna watch that movie again. I will answer is "YES! YES! YES!" The movie caught my attention the whole time. If you want the fun and a little heart touching moments. I will recommend this.
The only not so good part here is the early pregnancy. The children might think it is good to have a child in early age and also the eloping part that others may not understand but nevermind this is a great musical movie. hahaha..
--Highly recommended film.
