Here Comes the Bride

               Now, Here is a move that is has an all-star cast but still managed to give equal screen time for each cast. Good job direk! (hehe) The movie is about swapping bodies to a person you are distantly alike to. The movie’s intelligent humor banks on the smooth transition of characters, which are both on the edge of the spectrum.
 

               All it took was a solar eclipse and five-car collision atop the Magnetic Hill for the souls of five individuals --- the virginal bride-to-be (Angelica Panganiban), her histrionically litigious godmother (Eugene Domingo), her ringbearer's destitute nanny (Tuesday Vargas), her husband-to-be's amorous grandfather (Jaime Fabregas), and her gay beautician (John Lapuz) --- to switch bodies. With the bride-to-be's soul transferring to the godmother's body; the godmother's soul transferring to the nanny's body; the nanny's soul transferring to the grandfather's body; the grandfather's soul transferring to the beautician's body; and the beautician's soul transferring to the bride-to-be's body, the dream beach wedding turns into a hilarious riot, where long-dormant passions are awakened, sexual fantasies are fulfilled, economic alleviation is achieved, and a chance at love is obtained.

               An unusual storyline that deviates from the typical Filipino comedy, the movie is sure to crack you up. And with Angelica Panganiban’s very entertaining portrayal of her character… this is a good movie to see, not to mention John lapuz’s comical portrayal of his as well. I am very happy to say that Here Comes the Bride is as current and relevant as it is entertaining and hysterical.

Here are some of my Favorite lines from the movie.
• There’s a gay man inside my body.
• Babae, sino ngayon ang bakla?
• Achieve na achieve!
• Lord, thank you for this face, this body… this pechay.
• Apir, apir, apir! Hindi na uso yan! Wisik wisik na lang. Masdan mo ang beauty ko, tataas ang kilay mo.

So, If you’re to watch a comedy movie… Watch this!
