A Party of Four

Director Wenn V. Deramas has once again proved his ability to deliver mass-market humor on a consistent basis despite his detractors through his successful movie Girl, Boy, Bakla, Tomboy. Of course, with the help of comedian turned star Vice Ganda, the movie became huge.

Although Deramas’ attacks in comedy became as usual as expected, it didn’t deny the fact that the crowd got caught by his movie.

Mark, Girlie, Peter and Panying Jackstone (all played by Vice Ganda) are quadruplets who are separated not long after their birth. While Mark and Panying are raised by their mother Pia (Maricel Soriano), Girlie and Panying are taken to the States to be raised by their father Peter (Joey Marquez).

Each of the four siblings is defined by their own differing sexual preference, and while this may sound alarmingly sexist, it’s all done in good fun. But when Peter finds himself in need of a liver transplant, the quadruplets are reunited in order to find a matching liver donor to save Peter’s life.

Though the film somehow offered cheap low-brow comedy, for a simple movie addict like me who only wants to have fun and enjoy, GBBT definitely gave me the satisfaction.

Nonetheless, the tandem of Wenn and Vice brought another hit in the movie industry. Let’s just wish that they could make more fun films that also offer different taste of story. Something you’ll remember forever or even affect your perspectives in life?
