Reviews
Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
THE MOMMY RETURNS is an excruciatingly bad comedy horror film from the Philippines. The story is about an obsessed and doting housewife and mother who dies but is unable to rest in peace when she sees her widowed husband flirting with another woman, so she returns to Earth to haunt the pair. The viewer is treated to endless spoofing of Filipino popular culture that means nothing to anyone outside of that country, alongside bad make-up, gay jokes, and some of the lamest CGI effects I can remember seeing. It's also noisy, overacted, and garishly bright.
After Ruby (Pokwang) died from an accident, husband William (Gabby Concepcion) marries Catherine (Ruffa Gutierrez) just after 40 days of his wife's death. This drives Ruby from purgatory to go back to earth and make it difficult for Catherine. Like other comedy movies, this makes references to TV showbiz shows and old movies. This one reminisces Madrasta (starring Sharon as a stepmother) and Bituing Walang Ningning (pussycat!) that are not a bit funny. The kids are supposed to be endearing (gay son, talkative daughters) but I can't symphatize with them. The make up of Pokwang is supposed to be hilarious, but it looks gruesome. The usual slapstick jokes are all over the place and the supposed dramatic moments are to cringe at. Aside from the story line that is ridiculous and unbelievable, it is unbelievable that Gabby Concepcion has not learned how to act after all these years. Medically, it is also hard to accept that someone supposed to be dying, looks so healthy and still capable of fathering a child.Avoid this movie, like other comedies of this kind, this is an insult to your intelligence and waste of time and money.
