Too much of everything

The Worst Film Ever

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

There is a princess from a fictional kingdom. She is already bored with the formality of a royal existence. She wants to come down from her ivory tower and explore the world unknown to her. She eventually meets a commoner. Almost half of the movie revolves on their love story. It follows the formula. They met, they fell in love, their love was tested, and the fairy-tale ending.Familiar, isn't it? The movie is loosely based on Roman Holiday. Audrey Hepburn becomes Dayanara Torres while Gregory Peck, the journalist is transformed into Aga Muhlach, the jeepney driver. The movie banked on the popularity of its stars. It is interesting to note that Dayanara Torres was the reigning Miss Universe during that year. The pageant was held in Manila the same year so it was an opportune moment to avail of her services.
