Lumayo Ka Nga Sa Akin Film Trailer Review
What can be said about the Lumayo Ka Nga Sa Akin official movie trailer? Lumayo Ka Nga Sa Akin looks interesting and fun. Those who have read or followed the original Bob Ong novel may expect more but for those of us who hasn't read it, the film through this trailer looks like it is a lot of fun. Fun in a sense that it seems to be smart as it satirizes television and movie (or entertainment industry) cliche as a whole. Because come on, how many times have we looked at someone whom we are watching something and simply as "Why?" as the actions of the on-screen performers are doing exactly what we call rational and in the realm of common sense. This reminds me of a similar segment in GMA Network's Bubble Gang called Antonietta where the antagonist Antonietta (played by Betong Sumaya) satirizes telenovela cliche. Here is a sample:
Lumayo Ka Nga Sa Akin has tons of breaking the fourth wall which seems to be the case in most comedy films that we've seen as of late; mainly from films starring Vice Ganda and or those directed by Wenn DeRamas. In Lumayo Ka Man Sa Akin's case it seems like this is going to be the main running theme in its three episodes. The question is whether Viva Films Lumayo Ka Nga Sa Akin is the "smart" comedy that some of us are looking forward to finally see or it is simply another brainless slapstick one that the industry has spoiled the majority of Filipino movie going fans. Will the film be a straight or loyal to its resource material? These questions and my curiosity will make me want to check this film out over this weekend.
How about you guys? What do you think about the 2016 movie adaptation of Bob Ong's 2011 novel Lumayo Ka Nga Sa Akin? Have you read the satirical parody novel? If yes, then did Viva Films with its director properly cast the film or do you have someone else in mind that could have played the roles in the book?
