As a super typhoon ravages the hometown of a family band composed of four brothers, their musical pursuits are put to a halt. They are forced to move from Isabela all the way to Pampanga to stay with their grandfather. While taking refuge in this distant farmland, the Datul brothers, who make songs together as the family band “Bakwit Boys,” put their musical talents to good use. The eldest brother, Elias (Vance Larena), is the band vocalist together with the youngest, Sonny (Mackie Empuerto), while Joey (Ryle Santiago) plays the guitar and Philip (Nikko Natividad) composes their songs. Individual interests and personal conflicts test their unity as a family and a band, as they struggle to make sense of life’s ironies and tragedies.
Bakwit Boys is exactly as simple and sweet as it needed to be. It is a film very close to home. A beautiful story of faith, chasing your dreams and brotherhood. It will remind you that life is a constant series of struggle and going after your aspirations is a rough road. The main cast had their own shining moments especially Vance Larana and Devon Seron that truly deliver the epitome of their character. Their solo song performance in this film is a must watch and commendable. Bakwit Boys is a hidden gem with its remarkable likeable characters and original soundtrack that truly uplift your spirit. After watching this you will leave the cinema smiling and get the positive message for inspiration.
My Verdict: 3.5/5
