D' Kilabots Pogi Brothers…Weh!? Film Trailer Review
Fans of the terrific Eat Bulaga trio Jose Manalo, Wally Bayola, and Paolo Ballesteros will be in for a big treat this November 28, 2012 with the release of D' Kilabots Pogi Brothers…Weh!?. Jose and Waly's latest film has all the generic content of past comedy films, so is it good or bad?
I personally stumbled over the trailer of D' Kilabots Pogi Brothers…Weh!? on a commercial gap while watching Eat Bulaga's Feeling Pogi Segment. It is quite a shame that there isn't any official trailer released for Youtube, but luckily the film's officially Facebook page has one. It makes me think if the producers want to tackle the more hip and wider audience or don't they have any faith on their latest film project. Anyways, I believe that the film's target is the greater Eat Bulaga or GMA network audience. We have a very unlikely but gorgeous female lead who eventually falls for the not so good looking lead protagonist. Well, we already know what that is like from the trailer. It is probably one of the main humor found on this film reminiscent of Eat Bulaga's Feeling Pogi competition where "not so good looking" contestants appear to have a very bloated ego and a confidence ala Jericho Rosales, and it is funny because of the obvious. We also have a very generic plot with an evil businessman out to get their land, but as to how will the relatively middle class protagonists stand up against powerful businessmen? Well if you have watched any Filipino comedy titles of the 90's and early 2000 you'll have a pretty good idea of what to expect. Hey, that is the kind of comedy that Filipino film studios are known for. The only factor that would play in the success of such comedy films is the market value of the comedian featured in the film. Will the television audience actually take their sweet time and money to watch their favorite comedians?
How about you guys, do you still go to theaters to see a straight-on comedy film? What do you think of the genericn storyline of most Filipino comedy titles? Share your thoughts about the D' Kilabots Pogi Brothers…Weh!? official trailer in the comments section below:
