Did you people see the same film I saw?

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

As usually plagues Asian films, overacting is the norm, especially the first tale. And hey, both actors should see a doctor - too unstable, prone to accidents! Making them trip over as excuses for a kiss or buying time to stay together for a longer while is stretching things a bit too far.Still, the conclusion is heartwarming, which is all about at least giving the other a chance.To me, even tho i've never been to Manila, the 2nd tale shows the real Phillippines. Tired-of-making good-but-still-does-good-anyway guy finally opens up to the charms of the other half.But the way everything's brought together in the conclusion is very nice indeed.
