This is an utterly charming film done in the 40's screwball comedy style with a modern touch and twist. The entire cast is absolutely delightful and the settings are luxuriantly tropical with lots of trees and bushes and animals. The Mother dominates and in fact is credited first with the Father just as dominate and credited second. The two young hunks are third and fourth. And they are quite a pair. Because of the situation with the parents hovering around the two men are stuck apart and only get some respite when they travel into the jungle with friends. But it really is the Mother's story and her realization that her son is not only gay but has invited his lover to visit. When reality sinks in the Mother is very vulnerable and very touching and your heart really goes out to her. Apparently the Mother is played by a top Philippines star and she truly walks away with the film. No wonder she was credited first. She deserves it. It's her film.
