Movie Review: Momzillas


Two moms are drawn into direct conflict when their children announce their intentions to get married. The mothers have to put aside their differences, however, when they are both marooned on a distant island. 

Isang masayang pelikula na magandang panoorin ngayong tag-ulan. Muli at the nth time ay nakuwa ni Wenn Deramas ang pulso ng MASA sa pagpapatawa sa kung ano ang magpapasaya at magugustuhan ng majority ng manood ng pelikulang Pilipino. So kung havey na havey sa inyo ang comedy style ni Wenn Deramas, paniguradong magugustuhan niyo ito. Bonus na lang siguro na ngayun lang nagsama sa pelikula sina Ms. Maricel Soriano at Eugene Domino na may taglay na galing sa pagpapatawa at pawang mga respetado at mahuhusay na aktres ng pinilakang tabing.

Movie Review: Ang Kwento Ni Mabuti
