    Reaction
    At first I was expecting the movie to be in black
    and white but thank god it’s not. I’ m really a
    fan to old Filipino movies but this movie still
    caught my attention and made me laugh my
    heart out, especially when Dolphy or Kevin
    loves his children. I liked the movie’s comical
    and simple nature. It also has some musical
    parts in it such as the couples in the movie do
    duets. All in all the movie was great.
