I wanted to be as
objective as possible about my thoughts on this movie. My family got 3 choices
for a PG-13 film among the MMFF entries but since Sisterakas is the nearest
to start, we opted to go. The movie is overrated for me. Well aside from the fact that it probably has
the biggest budget for the lead actors having AiAi Delas Alas, Kris Aquino and
Vice Ganda in one movie, it was overrated for me in a sense that it won 3rd
Best Picture and made Wilma Doesn't won for the Best Supporting Actress
award. That two recognitions is my only
concern, why oh why?
I am yet to see Thy
Womb and according to a lot of reviews, the film deserves to be in the roster
of the top 3 Best Picture awards, we'll see if Brillantes' indeed got robbed of
this highest recognition in MMFF. The Best Supporting Actress award for someone
who uttered very few lines, threw punch lines that didn't even had marks in my
memory, what was that? I have nothing against Wilma Doesnt but for whatever's sake, she's not deserving.
Sisterakas casted two
of highly acclaimed comedy actors of today thus I have very high expectations,
sad that it fell short. Vice Ganda's lines are still funny but all are
predictable for me because I get to watch him almost everyday in his noon time
show so it’s not new to me anymore. I've
also seen a lot of his comedy styles in this movie from his previous film
"Petrang Kabayo" which made me doubt if Vice is already running out
of ideas that he didn't notice the way his character is presented in this movie
has similarity from his debut movie? I knew he could have spice up his role in a more different style.
In terms of attendance,
the movie house is actually still full with a few people standing and some
sitting in the stairs, the mass appeal of Sisterakas is indeed worth the
production cost I must say. But a few disappointments I heard from the viewers
made my thoughts validated. Some who
brought a bunch of kids are quite mad because most of the comedy lines are
unfortunately not making any sense to the young viewers. I have the same sentiments because I brought
my 4 year old kid who only took a little of his time to watch the movie and
later on just concentrated on buckets of cheese popcorn we bought, that part at
least made him happy for this movie trip.
Ai-Ai Delas Alas saves
my 20% of giving this film a "happy-Me" verdict after watching it,
and I’m thankful she became part of this movie when she wasn't even part of the
original casts as reported before. With Kris Aquino's role and acting, nice try
but not really her forte. I love her and always fond of watching her doing
hosting routines in her morning show and I must say she must stick to what she
does best :).
I've yet to watch 4
more films before the MMFF is over, I hope the other two Star Cinema entries
I'm going to see will compensate my disappointments over Sisterakas. Still, congratulations to Star Cinema for the
blockbuster success.
