My Monster Mom

Here's one of the funniest films to ever be part of Filipino cinema.  So here I find these stuff funny to start with:

  • Rhian Ramos Howell aging INTO Annabelle Rama (both play Esmeralda Fajardo)... there is hardly a resemblance between them appearance-wise.  But it did make sense Richard Guiterrez aged into his dad Eddie Guitterez (the beguiling Waldo).  If Rhian Ramos Howell were to age, Pilita Corales or Gloria Romero would have been a much better choice to play the older her than Annabelle Rama then again this is supposed to be FUNNY!!!!
  • Esmeralda Fajardo's mean streak is too much that it kills two husbands in two different married lives.... the two different fathers of her two later sons (who she always treats like idiots so I guess those two husbands may have been treated like that too).  Seriously can anybody be that mean?  Hmmm think about being twice widowed because both late husbands died from severe NAGGING!!!!
  • Or maybe, one has to consider how the younger Esmeralda Fajardo using a guitar to bash her live-in parter Waldo.  Seriously that didn't injure Waldo?  
  • So how did Esmeralda Fajardo become a monster?  Was it giving her daughter away to her sister for adoption?  Or was it because she inherited two estates twice that the power got into her head?  Ha ha.  Well I guess it's up to you viewers to think!

Well I hope all non-Tagalog speakers can see this film for themselves!
