Kuya Wes, a timid remittance clerk, feels like he does not exist, except when he is working at the remittance center. He is mostly ignored by his younger brother Raf and his family. His days are only brightened when his customer Erika comes in every month. One day, his life changes as Erika’s overseas husband leaves her. Wes decides to help her from his own pocket. His “relationship” with Erika and his friction with Raf starts to change him.
Kuya Wes is funny at times with a subplot that I didn’t expect coming. I loved the
tailor fit role of Ogie Alcasid tandem with the natural performance by
Moi Bien. On the surface, Kuya Wes is a cutesy
rom-com about a totally simple man. But a little deeper, it's a character
study about someone who romanticizes everything, to mask his own
loneliness and lack of identity. I appreciate the unique look together with the indie vibe soundtrack of the film. Somehow the film manages to give us not the usual feel good light comedy film but also appeal to care for others and awareness that there is at least good heart in all of us.
My Verdict: 3.5/5
