CGiii Comment

When it comes from the Philippines...nothing much is expected, apart from the usual...cheap, exploitative, inept drudgery.

This is no exception...Baron Geisler, the self-producing star of this film, should have been told that his place is not in front of the camera. A cringing performance.

It's billed as a comedy...either, a very strange sense of humour is at work...or, absolutely everything is lost in translation.

Is it a spoof!?! We don't know but it is proof that when it comes from the Philippines...expectations run low.
