Filemon Mamon is a high school student who desires two things, to
win the heart of the girl he loves and to be the lead in a musical play about
his Philippine hero Andres Bonifacio. But,
he has a big problem – his weight. His
out of work father and his OFC mother leave him to adhere to the guidance of
his grandmother who loves to cook and who loves to remind him that “to be fat
is to be healthy, and to be healthy is to be fat.”
Is stardom only for the skinny? Through the song and dance,
Filemon discovers himself by overcoming the realities of life. He may not look the part, but Filemoin learns
about heroism in the most unexpected way. He becomes the hero not only to his family and
friends, but also to himself.
Based on a popular Children’s Book of the same title by author
Christine Bellen for Adarna House Publishing, Filemon Mamon is for all ages. The movie does not only remind you to eat
proper food but also to partake the universal message of loving oneself and
others.
Filemon
Mamon is the most lightest and enjoyable film to watch in World
Premieres Film Festival. This film exceeds my expectation. If you are
into musical and feel good film, you will definitely like this film. It
is decently done local musical comedy film with the fine direction of
Will Fredo and natural performances from Nanette Inventor, Giselle
Sanchez, Jerome Ignacio and Miles Ocampo.
My Verdict: 3/5
