| User ReviewKhaye MSurprisingly funny, Filipinos know how to do comedy. |
| User ReviewMarvin DThere is nothing spectacular about this movie but you will surely have a good laugh that's for sure. Aside from the comedy angle, the movie tries to be socially relevant by tackling the issue of gays in the family and in the military however, they just introduced it but had no follow through, the issue was kinda left hanging and was overshadowed by the jokes and killer lines of Vice Ganda. 3 stars for touching the funny side in me. |
| User ReviewBenjamin AIt's the funniest Filipino film of 2011. The lack of realism is a factor, however, and too much promotion of homosexuality is not much of a liking. |
| User ReviewFlip TNot as great as it was made out to be by the media. It had its funny moments, but not the rolling on the floor type of laughter reviews I read about it made it out to be. |
| User ReviewMichael OThis movie was such a laugh-out-loud experience the first time I watched it; not so much the second time. Still, itâ(TM)s a movie I would easily choose to re-watch over most local comedies today if ever I should need a pick-me-up movie in the future. |
| User ReviewMarvin BA Filipino spoof of Mulan with a laughing twist. |
| User ReviewCholo FA comedy movie with top laugh! The Horse (V. Ganda) lead the pic, with a worthy mocking and spoofing... |
| User ReviewMarcus CThe funniest Filipino movie of the year, Vice Ganda proved that sheâ(TM)s/heâ(TM)s/itâ(TM)s even â~unkabogableâ(TM) in box office industry. But giggles are accompanied by overacting performances, unnecessary things and cornier-than-popcorn scenes (especially scenes that make you cover your faces!). The story is new to the Filipino screens but not to â~Mulanâ(TM) (Disney) herself. |
| User ReviewAngelo TAnother time killer film from Star Cinema. |
| User ReviewX'ian Dale EA movie loosely based on Disney's Mulan wherein the main protagonist takes his father's place in the army (but, instead of being a woman, a male homosexual in the movie). As a piece of Story-telling material it is honestly a pretty abhorrent film - with the entire premise of the film focusing only on Comedy and purely comedy with the expense of the story. |
