Award Winning movie entry for the 2006 MMFF; kasal, kasali, kasalo is a sure-fire hit.
The story shows the adage that in Filipino society, one does not marry a beloved partner. One marries a family. It is a movie in three instalments of some sort. First, is “Kasal;” the story of how the lovebirds met and finally decided to get marry just when he is about to fly to the states. Their families happened to be from totally differant worlds who would want their wedding to a “miting de avance” and the other another socialite gig… It was very funny not just because of the dialog but also on how things turn out. It does reflect the typical “meet the parents” and “meet the fockers” pinoy style; at the end they ended up having a church wedding. “Kasali,” is when they moved in to the guy’s house and the plot revolved around that fact. You know things like “really getting to know your partner,” “getting a piece with the yaya of your partner,” the “in-laws,” etc., etc., etc. Then they eventually got a house, “Kasalo,” where everything seems to fall properly into place just when she got preggy. Hmmm… when I thought it was just too good to be true, he got a hot chick for a spare. She eventually found out and left the home to unravel things and finally put a closure on stuffs she left on her own biological family. The guy’s mom eventually found herself in situation where she cannot really be proud of her son.
True to the fact that Pinoy marriage is not just the bond of two souls but of two families.
