Here Comes The Bride is a One Hilarious Pinoy Movie

I am supposed to watch One More Chance  (because of the cute and mushy animation that I previously posted) but I happened to watch "Here Comes the Bride" instead.

The story is about soul-swapping of 5 characters who are supposed to attend a wedding (wedding of Stefanie/Angelica Panganiban) but altogether met an accident at Magnetic Hills during a solar eclipse.

Starring in the movie are:

• Angelica Panganiban (Stefanie)- the gorgeous, innocent-looking , soft-spoken bride to be of Tom (Harold Rodriguez).

• Eugene Domingo (Precy) - the "Ninang" (ninang sa kasal) of Stefanie.  A middle-aged impeccable lawyer who longs for romance.  She reminds me of her Kimmy Dong-Hae character in Kimmy Dora movie.

•  Tuesday Vargas (Medelyn) - the Ilongga yaya of a spoiled brat kid.  Her life is a typical poor probinsiyana who came to Manila to work, in order to send money back in the province.

•  Jaime Fabregas (Bien) - the DOM Spanish-speaking rich "lolo" of  Tom.

• John Lapus (Toffee) - the gay make-up artist image stylist of the bride-to-be who is nursing a broken heart when his boyfriend left him for a girl.

Now, this what happened:

• Stefanie's soul went into Ninang Precy's body.

• Ninang Precy's soul went into Yaya Medelyn's body.

• Yaya Medelyn's soul went into Lolo Bien's body.

• Lolo Bien's soul went into Toffee's body.

• Toffee's soul went into Stefanie's body.

Just imagine how each one would react, take advantage, and suffer from each one's situation. It's hilarious!

I find the following scenes funny:  when John Lapus is acting like a real man ("Ngayon, babae, sinong bakla?"), the yaya Tuesday who tongue-lashed the parent's mother while reciting the rights of a kasambahay (yaya and househelpers), lolo Jaime Fabregas who ate like he had never eaten before and the look on his face when he was handed by a P1.5M check,  the soft-spoken Eugene Domingo being kissed by Tom, their bed scene, and who keeps on calling Cherry Pie Picache "ma", and, who would ever forgot the babaeng baklang Angelica who struts her way in front of the boys and how she flirts with Tom.

I love the beetles (Volkswagen) cars being used in the movie.  It's cute and say, durable to be used as a bumpcar!

There are still some flaws and questionable parts in the story like they stayed for 2 years in the old mansion of Lolo Bien, while waiting for the next eclipse, but what happened to their "outside life" (Ninang Precy's career, etc. save for the marriage of Tom and Stefanie who lived together in the old mansion)?  Anyway, I watched the movie to be entertained not to criticize it.

Overall, it is a good de-stressing and worth-watching comedy (4/5).  It is hilarious and funny. No slapsticks and gasgas jokes. "Bonggang bongga na bougainvillae talaga!"
