I can't believe that Joel Lamangan still has a job. He has not delivered a single DECENT film over the past five years, and he has a penchant for destroying scripts. Case in point: Manay Po 2: Overload. Argh.

On to my bulletpoints:
- Oi! Stereotypes! Was this flick done with an 80's script? I half expected Roderick Paulate to make an apperance.
- Sid Lucero in a gay role REALLY bothers me.
- I don't get Jiro's storyline. Was he a closet gay, or was he out in the open? Either way, it was super murky. And that whole "di kailangan mag-gown..." speech in the end? Preachy
- John Prats, Roderick Paulate wants his role back. SERIOUSLY...
- I worship Rufa Mae. She was gold here.
- Sayang si Cherry Pie Pichace dito. She could have done more here.
- Although the script has flashes of brilliance, it ultimately fell victim to all the stereotyping and dated jokes
- Acting was waaaaaaaaay too over-the-top here. And don't give me that "the masa will love it" crap. The peeps watching this in the moviehouse hated it too.
- Joel Lamangan should never be given a directorial project again. But then again, where would Regal get a director willing to work with them?

Utter crap.

For some reason, I can't blame you for this. I strongly believe that you can give Direk Joel the most URIAN-worthy script known to man, and he will find a way to destroy it anyway. He doesn't seem to care anymore; he's been mailing it in since Mano Po 1. But that's just me.
