Sharon Cuneta, Hilda Koronel and Angel Aquino blends their acting craft to deliver the funniest and touching movie of the year. When Wilson Chua is tasked by his mother to prepare the grandest traditional Chinese funeral for his father, he doesn’t know where or how to start, let alone look for professional mourners-- people who cry at funerals as an observance of an old Chinese tradition.
Enter Stella Mate, a small-time hustler; Aling Doray, a washed-up B-movie actress; and Choleng, a pious woman with a weakness for married men. These women are the last of the professional mourners, and when it comes to turning teary-eyed, these tough-luck ladies certainly know a thing or two!
This is a MMFF entry if I recall it correctly; my friends and I watched it and we weren’t disappointed. Tons of laughter and also some sad scenes to even everything. Great movie to sum it all up.
Movie Highlights:
1. The great acting by all
2. The drama scenes of Ate Shawee
3. The comedy scenes between the 3 ladies
4. The showcasing of Chinese culture
5. The amazing chemistry between the cast
Very inspirational movie. The movie showed how Sharon Cuneta was rejected a couple of times and how she almost gave in to temptations but in the end, she overcame the adversities. The plot showcases how the three protagonists face everyday problems and how to overcome it.
If I were a movie critic, I’d give this movie 5 stars. But, I’m not a Movie critic. I’m just a fan. Let’s leave it at that. :)
