And the Breadwinner Is...

May not be a perfect cohesive storyline but it has heart whilst balancing (filipino mainstream - and not the snobbish highly-intelllectual kind - humor).

As with all, it's an acquired taste. And it works for me. Especially when one's looking for no-brainer and filipino family comedy-drama. For those who are not necessarily a fan of VG, might as well skip it. But for those who don't mind a hearty laugh - laughing at family dramas the filipino way.. it's worth watching.

The story jumps from a struggling breadwinner to random Vice Ganda costume changes, with no connection whatsoever. Is it a drama? A comedy? A fever dream? Nobody knows. The wigs in this movie have more character development than the actual characters. The acting is OA, there are times in this movie I cringe so hard I was greatful I didn't see this in theaters. The jokes are either recycled from past Vice Ganda films or so outdated they make "It's Showtime" laugh tracks sound fresh.

In general, If you love chaotic, nonsensical, and over-the-top Filipino cinema, this might be "so bad it's good." But if you value coherent storytelling, run far, far away.

This movie is a masterpiece and special to me what a great movie Vice and the people who's behind in this production.

My father is battling stage 4 prostate cancer and a spine tumor. It's hard in a way na isa ka sa inaasahan sa pamilya not just physically but financially sometimes you think of giving up pero Hindi pwede kase your here because of them, I cried, laugh and smile a lot watching this masterpiece. Nakaka relate ako sa bawat eksena. This movie gives me hope in every difficult sitatuation.

Despite the pain, this film give me strength especially na ako ang panganay. Thank you meme vice.

It does give the movie the hype that it will be dramatic and relatable to the Filipino audience. And, it did.

It strike me on how the actors and actresses deliver raw emotions and scenes of how they act as a Family. Don't forget the lines, I wanna commend to that.

But what I like about is that even though they fought, argue, reprimand or rub it in, they act as one loving and supporting family. Even though it's too late, ugh... I hate that word too late. But it did execute the story in the good way possible.

I would recommend to watch it but takes some breather in watching heavy scene.

I've watched this movie in Netflix randomly and it was such a heartfelt movie. The story is a typical Filipino family reality experience as I felt every scene at the middle part of the movie when the characters unraveled all their struggles individually that affected the outcome for their family's being. Vice Ganda managed to fulfill a moving and interesting character, how everything aligned to how the movie ended was really a chef's kiss. Kudos also on how this movie made me realized that it is really not wrong to help and love your family truly, especially in providing everyone's need and your unconditional love to them. But also, to not forget yourself in the process, to also focus on making sure that you are healing your inner child for your own peace and mental being. It is not wrong to choose yourself when it comes to forgiveness and being grateful in life. This movie provided an impact on how you can build your own life and career while you are also helping other people around you, by choosing yourself and happiness before anyone else.
