This was a wacky comedy about two couples who got involved between two race gangs that shockingly piqued its way into some smartly conveyed messaging that never truly felt politically incorrect for the most part. This because , it still has that Chinese can't say their 'R' jokes midway.
But primarily, It was in the end about the drug trade - AND *surprise* the fight for better product Quality between the Japanese and Chinese Gang Lord. Who is better? They fight in a broadway-esque musical about spreading the bread about it. Also, I am not the only one here that the Visayan Catholic father has Cocaine ticks AND that is a plot beat RIGHT?
It is a bit all over the place.
I felt that it worked 2/3 of the way. The first third AND the last third was amazing. The second third is a hit or miss. I felt that the jokes also (especially the Chinese Bath section and that Promote guy) truly hits uncomfortable in a boring way. I am huge FAN of Waters - AND I would have loved if they lay it BARE UNAFRAID and with INFINITE conviction but they never did in that section. It WAS a SLOG.
But when it succeeds, its goes truly hard. I really love how the joke in this is how confident the Japanese guy of his country's product AND how good it is AND the joke for the Chinese Ganglord is that she steals designs AND make it easy to buy. It never goes to places you'd think it go AND it even ups the ante to the famous musical sequence about the bread of their works.
Recommended. This definitely has its moments BUT I felt like there are true problems in this film. Good Comedy with some Date Problematic Jokes.

This is capital S I L L Y.
FAMED for its an 'Eye-for-an-Eye' acting moments, Ikaw ay Akin ( can be translated as 'What's yours is Mine' or 'You are Mine' (for a much literal translation)) is ABOUT Polyamory, which is no surprise given that the writer is famed for his work for Salwahan - another film about Polyamory.
Practically a horticulturist(played by Aunor) is in a 8 year relationship with a Jeepney Factory Manager. When a bubbly young artist(played by Santos) falls head over heal over him, it elicits an affair but got it under control before things heads past it wheels. The two women has no knowledge of each other BUT discovers that De Leon's character is changed, regardless of them crossing each other's path.
They could not take it AND causes them to really have a weird personal reckoning about how they need him. Then it ends up in what I think is the most ridiculous and practically the greatest inversion in cheating drama's ever, he makes a speech for both about how he could not careless of the things he had done AND you had to take it or leave it AND ends with literally just having the ladies looking eye to eye in acceptance.
THIS WOULD not really not translate abroad. Its beyond stereotypical - it literally made the Cheating Melodrama Genre of our country. Also, I think Nora and Vilma represents two GAY MEN here. They are probably the two of the most dicmatized female protagonist in FILM. THEY CANNOT function without De Leon punching their HOLES. It so ridiculous it actually feels so funny at times. Their reasoning and action is beyond martyr-ism and just borderline campy dumbassery (there is an jealous rage attempted Manslaughter in this film lol) BUT its Bernal's choices that really make it work.
This film only works because it never moralize. It show characters that are ungodly stuck in this toxic cycle AND makes them a willing participant. THAT SPEECH by Rex raises it off as a schlocky stupid trash into a Nasty Melodramatic Erotica. I was very stunned when I initially watched it. That subvert was so off field but given how the girls reacted all throughout the film, it was not unexpected and it worked specifically like a comedy of manners.
Though, I would also add that moment is the weakness of the film. It just need that scene to really lift this material up. I think otherwise - this will be just a bad melodramatic slop.
Highly recommended. This is a high work of melodramatic camp. I respect that Bernal let the story tell its story AND that is amazing.
