Status: It's Complicated!

I get why this project was assigned to Chris Martinez. Regal films made Salawahan megged by Bernal in the 70's, who better else to remake this but Martinez? But then, why remake such a funny classic? I have to admit, while watching this on TV , I didn't know it was a remake, and the scenes were strangely familiar. In the restaurant scene when Domingo and Avelino left , I realized this was too much similarity to Salawahan. Boracay is a good choice as replacement for Baguio but all the others pale in comparison to the 1979 classic. Solenn is sexy and seemed to have done better than Sandy Andolong but the exchange of dialogue between Avelino and Solenn was ...uncomfortable. Maybe because Avelino did such a bad job. One good thing is that (maybe) younger people will be interested to see what the original looked like. So yes, go see the original, not this one.

can't describe my dismay in watching this movie. a total waste of money, time, talent. i don't think it even deserve any spot on IMDb. i would never watch this again even if somebody is going to pay me.

they only use those artist to sell the movie but the story doesn't contain anything, i don't even feel its a story at all.

this movie is basically a trying hard movie, trying to force everything. lost all hope in filipino movies because of this piece of crap. sorry but don't waste your time.

i don't give out reviews but this time there should be to give warning to other who are planning to watch this in the future. maybe you can make this as a filler sound when doing something else.
