So we all know that
ABNKKBSNPLAko The Movie is already showing. Well, the girls from Augenblick
got a chance to watch the film 2 weeks before its actual premiere in cinemas. So awesome,
right!?! Here’s what they have to say :
Weeks before the
screening of ABNKKBSNPLAko, I checked out on its trailer in YouTube. Yeah,
another movie about reunion I thought. I find this very usual and there’s
nothing new to watch for in this movie. I find it as uninteresting really ‘coz
I’ve seen a lot of movies about reunion and the like and they run on the same
plot and storyline like as you watch it, you can predict what will happen next.
But I was so
wrong, very wrong!
I’d eat up all
these thoughts when I got to see the actual movie. This was different. This was
fun and amazing!
Yes, I’ve read
the book before but the story wasn’t plain as what was written by Bob Ong. The
director, Mark Meily put another angle on the story, it was a bit twisted but
the change was good, just perfectly done. Usually I feel bad whenever a book is
turned into a movie and the story was changed. But this one isn’t like that
because I loved it. I love Ong’s work but I loved the movie even more.
Well, it had
shown the experiences of the usual students going through the rough course of
being in elementary, the high school and of course college. I was laughing all
throughout as I have seen the mischievous acts of elementary students and
misadventures of those in high school. I remember my school days before and
everything they have shown were very true.
I know everyone
can relate to this one because we have gone through this. We know the feeling
because we’ve been there. It’s just so nice to bring back the memories. It felt
so good like I have revisited the past. It felt like I’ve ridden a time-machine
and I’ve found myself sitting on my old classroom, with my old acquaintances.
It featured the
puppy love, the first love and everything we loved before in the world we call
school – which was the perfect eyewitness on the precious memories of our young
life.
Not just that
this movie made me laugh but I also felt ‘kilig’, it made me feel sad, kilig
again, then laugh and laugh again and over again -- A lot of emotions really
because I can really relate on the characters, on the story, on everything in
it.
I loved it so
much and one thing I’m sure of is that, I went home with a smile on my face.

I
and my friends were one of the luckiest folks who got a chance to watch the “12
year old Bob Ong book turned
movie”, ABNKKBSNPLAko at the UP Cinema
last Feb 5. A mammoth of people came. Hence, patience tested us as we fell in
line for two hours just for the tickets. Well, at least we shall not wait for
two weeks before seeing it on the big screen.
And
as expected, it was awesome. The movie has a different flavor compared to the
actual book since the story with “special someone” was spiced up. Yet, most
scenes still gave nostalgia on the one you read. Moreover, Jericho Rosales
indeed justified his role as Roberto Ong. The crazy antics of Vandolph Quizon,
Meg Imperial, and Andi Eigenman also added extra humor on the film. I also have
to commend the kids who played the role of the little Roberto and Portia. Their
scene was the crowd favorite!
After
the movie, the fun didn’t stop there. We were surprised after seeing Jericho
Rosales as the lights were turned on again and realized he also watched. He and
Direct Mark Meiley then entertained questions from the crowd and gave the 12th
anniversary edition of the book to those who asked questions. We also met the rockstar of Philippine comics, Manix Abrera who also read Bob Ong’s
opening speech for the film. And here’s what he did for us hihi.
