The Super Parental Guardians Film Trailer Review


What can be said about The Super Parental Guardians official movie trailer? Well, it is definitely a Vice Ganda movie. After the tragedy that befell the Kapamilya Network's star comedian (the passing of Vice' friend and usual director on his film projects, the late-Wenn Deramas earlier within 2016), there has been a hiatus on films that features Vice Ganda. Guess, the world has to eventually move on and Vice is once again back with his usual brand of "family-friendly" gay humor. Whether it works for you or not, it is here to stay and will be another blockbuster.


A little fact about the movie, The Super Parental Guardians was supposedly and maybe expected to be an official entry to the 2016 Metro Manila Film Festival as it was submitted before the official deadline of submission for entries but "unfortunately" it was not selected as part of the official entries to the 42nd Metro Manila Film Festival this December 2016. The Super Parental Guardians will join the ranks of Our Mighty Yaya (Ai-Ai delas Alas), Mano Po 7: Tsinoy (Richard Yap), and Enteng Kabisote 10 and the Abangers (Vic Sotto) that didn't made the cut due to the now "improved" (?) criteria imposed for entries. The Metro Manila Film Festival have been heavily criticized in the past for having overall low quality in terms of story and various technical aspects, now along with the new President this 2016, change also came to the MMFF.


It is usually an automatic blockbuster success if there is an entry featuring either Vice Ganda or Vic Sotto, but this time removing the entries from these two will finally make things interesting. Unfortunately there was a romantic comedy which is usually in the same league in terms of blockbuster success as the two, hopefully movie goers will find a new appreciation for other MMFF entries on the list besides the generic romantic comedies. What else is there to talk about with The Super Parental Guardians that has not been showed in the trailer. It is a chalk full of pop culture reference and features a larger than life and over the top characters—mainly Vice Ganda and even the child actors are also made this way—to act like the bratty effeminate caricature of the loud gay stereotype popularize in film nowadays. If Vice Ganda is your cup of tea, then there will be no stopping you from appreciating it whether The Super Parental Guardians is an official MMFF entry or not.


How about you guys? What do you think about this Vice Ganda comedy featuring the Vice Ganda and Coco Martin comedic duo that is being sold to us by Star Cinema? Will you be seeing this 2016 Star Cinema film that puts a comedic spin on the standard new guardian conflict and will eventually concluding in a happy family ending?

The Unmarried Wife Film Trailer Review


What can be said about The Unmarried Wife official movie trailer? Well, The Unmarried Wifethis is your stereotypical conveyor belt movie that taps the cheating, adultery, infidelity, and third party theme that seems to have sold so well,; to simply slap in "new" faces and you got a completely "new" and "different" film. So how does the film differs from the rest of the fruit of the recognizable tree? Well, it has a GMA talent Dingdong Dantes and ABS-CBN's Angelica Panganiban as its lead, and that's basically it as the trailer suggests so far.


The film just like similar countless films that came before it tackles a monogamous relationship turned sour by the husband's womanizing tendency which is the complete betrayal of the vows. I say if Star Cinema wants to revolutionize something, they could deal a much more taboo subject like a polygamous relationship or an "open relationship" to which partners give consent and permission for their partners to "play around" with other people outside their relationships. Too scandalous? Well, they have been going in a much more unconventional route so why not deal the much more liberal and taboo topic? Star Cinema can thank me later for the suggestion. But who knows, the Unmarried Wife could go that direction but from what we've seen its the usual drama set-up wherein the wife is undergoing the five stages of grief after the betrayal which is either hasten or slowed down by the introduction of Paulo Avelino's character.


How about you guys? What do you think about another drama film that focuses on infidelity and its repercussions only this time featuring Paulo Avelino, Angelica Panganiban, and Dingdong Dantes? What other films have you seen in the past that has a similar theme? How do you think the film will conclude? Will you be seeing this 2016 Star Cinema films about infidelity, denial, acceptance, and retribution? Is the film's theme enough to pique your curiosity and actually see this in theaters?

The PreNup Trailer Impressions: The Sam Milby and Jennylyn Mercado RomCom Flick For 2015

The PreNup is a 2015 romantic comedy film from Regal Entertainment, Inc. under the direction by Jun Lana which stars Sam Milby Jennylyn Mercado, Melai Cantiveros, Ella Cruz, Dominic Ochoa, Nathalie Hart, Neil Coleta, Gardo Versoza, Jacklyn Jose, and Freddie Webb with an October 14 theatrical release. Let's check out what this latest 2015 romantic comedy Filipino film from Regal has in store for the movie going audience here at Pinoy Movie Blogger.


The PreNup
Plot / Synopsis

Wendy (played by Jennylyn Mercado) met Sean (Sam Milby) in a vacation trip abroad and one thing lead to another; ending with a marriage proposal. Little did they know that the different (financial) worlds on which they both came from will rear its ugly head with a prenuptial agreement.

The PreNup Film Trailer Review

What is there to say about The PreNup official trailer? Well, Filipino fans of romantic comedy rejoice as you have another dose of it with this Sam Milby and Jennylyn Mercado rom-com movie, The PreNup. The 2015 Filipino romcom The PreNup plays with the idea of a prenuptial agreement and the clash between the bigger-than-life stupendously rich parents from the leading man's side against the middle class bubbly gay parents from the female protagonists'side. There has to be something that will get in between the love story and in this film it seems like the warring in-laws with their condition and prenuptial agreement. Jennylyn plays the stereotypical bubbly and lovable female protagonist which works like a charm with Sam Milby being as his usual very cool masculine stereotype. Besides the romantic banter focus on the leads, it is the in-laws is another thing to watch out for in this romcom. The PreNup official trailer is "alright" in Filipino romcom standards.


RomComs is a big thing here in the Philippines and it shows with blockbuster ticket sales. It is now up to the film studios to help promote their title. I initially caught wind of it when someone shared the teaser for PreNup on Facebook, but lost track of it. The official trailer was officially released online last September 25, 2015, but I only caught wind of it again when I saw the short television trailer of PreNup which plays side-by-side with another (horror) film from Regal, Resureksyon. 19 days after the official trailer was released online then followed by a television trailer being played in a currently trending noontime show is a good marketing in the part of Regal. Regal doesn't own its own network; it is not like Star Cinema (an ABS-CBN) or GMA Films (do they still make films?) that has their own dedicated television networks where they can market their movies like crazy and for no cost whatsoever; that even if you don't like the film, you may very well enjoy every commercial every two seconds of the usually overly cliched film that they have for the month. Well, RomComs in general is an easily marketable Filipino movie genre and with the charming pair-up of Sam Milby and Jennylyn Mercado, The PreNup will probably be another blockbuster success. I wish the marketing team of these movies (or any Filipino movies) will release a short summary of what the film is about either on their official websites, social networking sites, or Youtube trailer releases to at least help create buzz for them or those who do not necessary in partnership with them. I just helped create a short synopsis for them which should be the job of the marketing team. Just saying. Well this is nothing new as either film studios or their marketing team does not provide a short description about the film or spoil the hell out of it through the spoiler-rich trailer (suddenly remembers Viva Film's Hitman


How about you guys? What do you think about this latest rom-com from Regal that stars Sam Milby and Jennylyn Mercado? Will you go see The PreNup when it hits the theaters in October 14, 2015?

The Love Affair Uncut Trailer Impressions: Illicit Love Affair featuring Dawn Zulueta, Richard Gomez, and Bea Alonzo Love Triangle

The Love Affair Film Trailer Review

So what is there to say about The Love Affair uncut trailer? Well besides some additional swear words that didn't made the local "family-friendly" television trailer, The Love Affair trailer is your basic drama film that once again deals with infidelity. This time it deals with the wife (Dawn Zulueta) cheating on her husband (Richard Gomez) who laters find it out and ends up encountering Bea Alonzo's character who was supposedly the bride-to-be to another cheater, Tom Rodriguez' character. Both Richard and Bea found solace and romance with each other's company and another movie dedicated to illicit affair ensues.


Now that we had another illicit affair premise tackled, there is nothing really that this film has to offer than a change of actors playing the title roles. The chemistry is always good with Richard-Dawn pair-up and Bea is always pretty to look at. Well, it is also probably exciting for fans to see Richard and Dawn back in the big screen again and one could say that it is probably enough for them to plow through the cliche'd and milked-to-exhaustion premise of adultery in Filipino films. Heck, we might even see a Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla with this kind of film ten to twenty years from now and people would still buy that thing. Well, to its credit, the film does make you question if it is justified to correct one wrongdoing with another... well, NO!; There, we finally answered it. So can we now not see the film? :D But seriously speaking, this film would probably bring up talks about divorce, grounds for annulment, morality or justification of committing acts of adultery. Well, I want to think that the film would be smart that way. Well hopefully I can hear that from you guys or someone who'll go see it. Give us a heads up here if ever it became a smart romantic kind of drama flick. Oh and one last thing, I'd call that Richard and Dawn will patch things up in the end. Call it a hunch or I could be wrong. :D


How about you guys? What do you think about this Richard Gomez, Bea Alonzo, and Dawn Zulueta illicit affair Filipino movie? What local film titles that focus on cheating and adultery that you have seen or enjoyed recently? Do you think it is okay to use such cliche premise over and over again in Filipino films but only with minor tweaks and change of characters?

The Breakup Playlist Trailer Impressions: Piolo Pascual and Sarah Geronimo Romantic Film About Music, Love, and Priorities

The Breakup Playlist is a Star Cinema and Viva Films romantic film under the direction of Dan Villegas which stars Piolo Pascual and Sarah Geronimo slated for a July 1, 2015 theatrical release. Let's check out what the Piolo Pascual-Sarah Geronimo romantic team-up has to offer with The Breakup Playlist.

Plot / Synopsis

There are times when life is planned for you, but sometimes love leads you in a different direction. And when you follow your heart, it can be the greatest feeling; but it can also be the worst.


Star Cinema and Viva Films presents Piolo Pascual and Sarah Geronimo in The Breakup Playlist, directed by Dan Villegas in cinemas on July 1, 2015.

The Breakup Playlist Film Trailer Review

So what is there to say about The Breakup Playlist? Well this is the first Sarah Geronimo - Piolo Pascual romantic movie from Star Cinema. Two big names when it comes to bringing "kilig" to the romantic movie going audience finally pairs up in The Breakup Playlist. With such highly adored team-up, The Breakup Playlist could very well be another blockbuster success for Star Cinema and Viva Films.


A pretty by-the-book type of a woman with a penchant for music and singing (but never following through) whose world eventually was changed once she met a guy who has a passion for music and seemingly living his life to the fullest. The two eventually fall in love but somehow the conflict comes with their passion for music and love towards each other clashing with the dreams of Sarah's parents have for her. We can say that the film's premise is pretty average, but that isn't the reason why romantic films are made. Star cinema has a knack for making blockbuster romantic films with highly likable artists that gives off "kilig-factor" with their team up. Will this be another film, where the passionate male lead eventually moves on to pursue his passion leaving the female wondering what life would be with him and if she pursued her passion, then gets reunited to reignite the flames of the past? Or eventually solve everything with the woman choosing her passion and love for the lead? Those questions plus the Piolo Pascual and Sarah Geronimo pairing could spell success for this film. The question is will you go see it?

Here are some additional information and production notes about Taklub for your information...

After Typhoon Haiyan struck the Philippines in 2013, director Brillante Mendoza was asked by others if he would make a film about the disaster, to which he thought could be insensitive for him to exploit the tragedies that have occurred for the victims' lives. Some months later, he was asked by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources to create a documentary film about climate change. For it to have a better impact towards audiences, Mendoza suggested to make a narrative film instead.

The trailer itself shows well-shot tidbits of a drama-heavy film that attempts to capture the tragedy that was Typhoon Yolanda when hit the country back in 2013.

This Guy's in Love with U, Mare Film Trailer Review

Star Cinema in partnership with Viva Films hit another gold by putting Vice Ganda and Tony Gonzaga in one mega comedy film, then add Luis Manzano as the object of both the lead character's affection then we have a blockbuster-in-the-making Star Cinema comedy film.

It is not hard not to like this film. If you love Vice Ganda as a comedian and adored Tony in her various roles in Star Cinema romantic movies, then it is a no-brainer you'll love this very unlikely team up. This Guy's in Love with U, Mare's falls victim to that scenario where trailer generally sums up the entire movie, but the film might get away with this. They can't show what this film has to offer without making the public have a sneak peak on what is can be seen in this film. What movie goers would be curious to see are the in-between scenes that would build up each of the character, and how would it all fall into place in the conclusion of this very unlikely love triangle. It is one of those Star Cinema comedy movies that picks up logic and throws it out the window but still manages to be enjoyable. A perfect example of an escapist's comedy film.


With the impressive marketing powers of the whole ABS-CBN television station backing the film up, not to mention its charming lead characters, this Vice Ganda October 2012 comedy flick will once again sell just like Praybeyt Benjamin did. The only question is, will this top the highest grossing Filipino film of all time? That is what we'll find out on October 10, 2012.
