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:

Boy Pick-Up: The Movie
Plot / Synopsis

Boy Pick-Up: The Movie is the film adaptation of Bubble Gang's latest famous skit "Pick-Up Lines Battle" featuring the fliptop-inspired battle of words using cheesy pick-up lines rather than well-rhyming trash talks. The film will try to tell the story of the iconic Boy Pick-Up (played by Ogie Alcasid) and Boy Back-Up (Eri Neeman) outside the Pick-Up Lines Battle Arena.

Boy Pick-Up The Movie Film Teaser Trailer Review

Ah Boy Pick-Up: The Movie... What is there to say about the Boy Pick-Up: The Movie's teaser trailer that made its debut on GMA Network? Coming from someone who's an avid fan of Bubble Gang and usually get his weekly laughs from the Philippine's longest running gag show, Boy Pick-Up: The Movie feels unnecessary.

Ogie Alcasid as Boy Pick-Up and Eri Neeman as Boy Back-Up

Some Filipinos are notorious in delivering these very cheesy pick-up lines to get the attention of their targets... I mean the ladies that can bring out various reactions (preferably a woman getting twitterpatted). Being a fan of Bubble Gang I have seen almost every Pick-Up Lines Battle episode to date. It saddens me to see how Boy Pick-Up's brand of humor starts to lost its touch after the long run. It probably might be just on the script, but ever since it got so popular, I believe its humor started to became normal... ultimately losing its brand of anti-humor. Sure it is nice to still hear cheesy pick-up lines every episode, but all those build up sometimes get squashed with the same kind of nonsensical pick-up lines used by boy Pick-Up last week. There is a limit on how many times the audience can tolerate "...kasi ang ulam na niluto ni Aling Maring ay masarap" boy pick-up punchline variant. I think that there are some jokes that need to end. Quit while they were ahead as what most people say. Like Yaya and Angelina, which was also a Bubble Gang Skit adapted to the Big Screen by GMA Films, there is a probability that Boy Pick-Up The Movie will be the last pit stop of this once was phenomenal comedic Bubble Gang skit. Like any other Bubble Gang skit it has to eventually come to an end: E.g MEV (Music English Version), MTB (Music Tagalog Bersyon), Kapitan Masa, Gagambala, Yaya and Angelina, etc. I just don't think that this film will get people excited or inspire them to spend money and watch it on theaters, and that is coming from a Bubble Gang fan and someone who adores Ogie Alcasid and Michael V. as comedians.

Women of Boy Pick-Up the Movie - Sam Pinto, Solenn Heusaff, and Sarah Lahbati

There is nothing much to make up for this teaser. It is just there to tease. Scenes featured in this trailer may not even be in the film itself. One thing is sure though Dennis will have Sarah as a love interest, while Ogie will have Solenn and that's probably where most of this will revolve around. I just don't think that fans of the skit would want to know more about Boy Pick-Up besides what they have been getting every Friday nights, or maybe it is just me. I can't vouch for every Bubble Gang fan. There will always be an audience that will support this. Even without the official film trailer released, I can say that Boy Pick-Up is one of those Filipino films which has willingly placed itself to shame just because some film producers think it would sell based from its popularity in television. The same film outfits which have been using prehistoric (traditional) marketing and movie making (writing, casting, producing) methodologies... milking something popular and current spelling doom to its original content source. Well, I might be over-thinking about this comedy film. I maybe wrong or eat up in the end all I have said here, but the teaser and the whole concept isn't giving me the right impressions. This is my impressions of the teaser to begin with. One thing is certain though, Boy Pick-Up: The Movie is not the smart kind of comedy I am looking for in a Filipino produced film. I will give this one a pass and will probably check this out once it makes it Philippine television debut which might not even take more than a year to happen.
