I watched the original Macho Dancer a year or so ago, and I was so impressed I gave it 7 stars. The original was a film done in the 1980s with, what I would imagine, limited resources. Therefore, I was completely disappointed to see the follow-up so poorly done 30 years later in an era where we have access to improved video-making technology. I have seen films made by iPhone with Hollywood picture quality. But the major faults go beyond cinematography and fall squarely in the laps of the scriptwriter and director.

What I watched was a film without a clear direction and a pace that felt very rushed. The fact that the writer sets this film during the Covid-19 Pandemic, but failed to reflect the reality of the Covid-19 measures, tells us that this film was not fully thought-out.

I will not blame the actors because I did not get the impression that they were incapable of delivering, but poor directing brings out poor acting. I give this film 3 stars simply because the macho dancers were well-picked. Unfortunately, the producers did not know how to make good use of them because, after 30 years, you'd expect some improvements with their choreography.

This felt like a pretty bad TV movie, tbh. Not much good to say about it. Bad acting, except for the older lady. She was good in her role.

Terrible direction, Obviously next to no budget. The use of the pandemic as a background was inconsistent. Masks came and went randomly.

What is it with that slow snake-body dance Filipino boys are always shown doing in these flicks? Do they really do that? So boring. A whole stage full of handsome young men all doing exactly the same thing.

Pretty funny that in his first night at the nightclub the MC already knew his choreography for his debut number. lol Which was pretty bad too.
