the audience applauded

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

There is nothing really wrong with typical Filipino drama. Some people said it was funny and indeed it has its moments where character say and do things that absolutely makes no sense. But sometimes I wondered if all of the the funny moments weren't by accident.The story never truly explains itself. How the father died, why the mom died so suddenly, how Jeff got a girlfriend in Taiwan, etc etc. It was only revealed later that he was in Taiwan for four years - and it only took up 10 minutes of the film. In other words, the time-line was truly inadequate on many levels.Despite the many storyline flaws, it was watchable at a few points. The over-drama with Kat and her decisions was sometimes painful to watch. But at other times, the drama was well done. Sort of a mixed bag.Overall, the acting is alright and on par with average U.S. films. But the storyline is flawed and lacked depth. But it is somewhat enjoyable. "C+"
