Reaction
At first I was expecting the movie to be in black
and white but thank god it’s not. I’ m really a
fan to old Filipino movies but this movie still
caught my attention and made me laugh my
heart out, especially when Dolphy or Kevin
loves his children. I liked the movie’s comical
and simple nature. It also has some musical
parts in it such as the couples in the movie do
duets. All in all the movie was great.
