Eugene Domingo is back as “Eugene Domingo” in this much-anticipated follow-up to the independent box-office hit movie, Ang Babae sa Septic Tank. Together with her director/writer (Rainier), her line producer (Jocelyn) and their rookie production assistant (Lennon), Eugene prepares for her comeback vehicle after a long sabbatical from movie making. Rainier proposes “The Itinerary,” a heartbreaking anatomy of a crumbling marriage as told through a couple’s trip to Baguio, their former honeymoon location. Eugene Domingo is excited by the project but she has other ideas in mind. In the film-within-the-film, we see Eugene’s absurd suggestions and recommendations -- changing Rainier’s script by employing the poetics of the Pinoy romantic comedy genre into what is supposedly a realistic portrayal of love and marriage.
The gang
is back with a bang! Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank 2 is a timely self
reflexive satirical comedy film about the current state of Philippine
cinema. Unconventional and intriguing comedy with enough substance to
make it's audience think of the moment, with fantastic performances by
Eugene, Kean, Jericho, Cai, Khalil and the rest of the cast. Its
profound metaphors and inner message are outrageously fun and deeply
affecting. If you like the 3 levels of acting in part 1 you will
definitely laugh out loud by the three levels of hugot in this film.
Eugene Domingo is one of a heck actress in her hilarious portrayal of
herself. Kean Cipriano can make an acting nod for his decent performance
in this film. Cai Cortez and Khalil Ramos are enticing as a support in
this film. Overall the film is an audience pleaser making this an
enjoyable film to watch this Christmas season.
My Verdict: 4.5/5
