Isa ito sa mga palpak na trabaho ni Chris Martinez as a brilliant scriptwriter. Binigyan dito ng back story ang ama nina Kimmy at Dora na si Luisito Go Dong Hae (Ariel Ureta) at ipinakita ang kabataan niya sa Korea when he was brilliantly played by the clown Ryan Bang. Kaso, kahit anong bali-baligtad ang gawin namin, sorry po but never naming ma-imagine na si Ariel ay kamukha ni Ryan when he was younger. Malaking insulto naman ito kay Ariel. Kulay na lang ng balat nila, mga mata at buhok nila, malayong-malayo na sa isa’t isa. Pero dahil comedy naman ito, sige, tanggapin na lang at huwag seryosohin.
Kaso, the movie becomes more and more brilliantly ridiculous as it goes along. May kababata pala si Ryan from the Sang Family na nagkagusto sa kanya sa Korea, si Kangkang (o di ba pati names na naisip para rito, brilliant din), played by Alodia Gosiengfiao. Pero nagkalayo sila dahil pinadala si Ryan para mag-aral sa Manila at UST at na-meet niya roon ang mother to be nina Kimmy at Dora, brilliantly played by the gorgeously ravishing Kiray Celis (brilliant casting).
Sa paglaki ni Kiray as the mom, she’ll be played also by Eugene Domingo. We’re sure tanggap na tanggap ni Eugene nang buo sa loob niyang si Kiray ay kanyang splitting image noong bata pa siya. Sobrang na-in love si Ryan kay Kiray (who wouldn’t be and, in fairness, bagay na bagay sila, they deserve each other) at nalimutan na niya si Alodia. Na-shotgun marriage si Ryan ng family ni Kiray at dahil dito, nagpakamatay si Alodia (na hindi mo naman masisisi considering na sobrang brilliantly handsome si Ryan Bang, what a big loss).
Ngayon nga, biglang nagmumulto na lang ito. Why it took her almost 40 years (40 years old na si Eugene as Kimmy and Dora, di ba?) bago niya balikan si Ryan-Ariel, naku, hindi po ito na-explain ng brilliantly written script ni Chris Martinez. Pero siguro, wala na lang sila kasi talagang maisip na naiibang kuwento for the sequel.
So ayun, para matigil ang pagmumulto, kailangan daw na pakasalan ni Kimmy ang anak na binata ng mga Sang, si Daniel Sang (brilliantly played by movie writer Jun Lalin with his dynamic, magnetic, incandescent screen presence.) Kaso, ayaw pumayag ni Kimmy man o ni Dora na pakasal dito. (Bakit kaya? Lovable naman si Jun Lalin.) Dahil dito, ang mga boyfriend nina Kimmy at Dora na sina Zanjoe Marudo at Dingdong Dantes, plus their own dad na rin, were put suddenly put into coma habang nakanganga ang mga bunganga showing us their molars at dilat ang mga mata. (Ito ang most difficult feat of brilliant acting shown in the movie and for this, dapat manalong best actors sina Dingdong, Zanjoe and Ariel.)
So, to save the men in their lives, kailangang kalabanin nina Kimmy at Dora ang multo ni Alodia and, to do this, they get the services of a local shaman, brilliantly played by Mura (another stroke of genius in the casting). Sad to say, this sequence of their showdown with Alodia is very badly executed. By this time, ready na talaga kami mag-walkout.
One thing going for this movie is that it has so many celebrity guest stars like Sen. Jinggoy Estrada, Kris Aquino, Raymond Gutierrez, John Lapus, Franco Laurel, Erik Santos, Maricar Reyes, some PBB4 housemates and Marvin Agustin as Jose Rizal. Dahil si Erickson Raymundo ang producer nito, kasama rin ang talents niya in guest roles, like PBB4 winner Slater Young as a waiter and, in fairness to Slater, he really looks like one, just like Richard Poon na gumanap namang flight attendant.
Ang iba pang guests dito ay more like private jokes kasi hindi naman sila kilala ng masa viewers, like co-producer Edgar Mangahas, stylist Liz Uy, photographer Raymond Isaac at designer Paul Cabral (na inininsulto na ni Kimmy at lahat, pero blanko pa rin ang mukha kaya dapat manalo ng best breakthrough performance of the year.) Meron pa raw ibang guests sa fashion world na hairdresser, make up artist, etc., pero sorry, kami mismo, hindi namin sila kilala.
Basta, nagagalingan pa rin kami kay Eugene with her TV Patrol, elevator and as is where is kind of acting. She surely deserves a better kind of material.
