Tuhog

This Eugene Domingo movie is a black comedy. Black comedy means that it takes a serious topic and presents it with a comedic tone.

IT IS LIGHT.
IT IS HEAVY.
MOST OF ALL, IT IS HEARTWARMING.


  1. tam·pon·ade 
    /ˌtampəˈnād/
    Noun
    1. Compression of the heart by an accumulation of fluid in the pericardial sac.
    2. The surgical use of a plug of absorbent material.



The Ultimate Selfie





Tuhog


Imagine a hunky Jake Cuenca falling in love with the more mature Eugene Domingo, whose name in this movie is Fiesta. Imagine Empress and Enchong who came from mainstream television tackling sexy innuendos and risque scenes. Imagine Leo Martinez and his buddies (who are great dramatic supporting actors in television soap operas) baking pandesal while playing cards.

It is a movie of many facets. All the main cast are perfect for their characters. Not one of them is forgettable. The story is fast-paced and close to reality. Everything that happened in that happy can happen to anyone.

Even this one.

Will Fiesta be happy at last? The movie is worth it. Watch it in cinemas. That way we can encourage producers to make more movies as entertaining and thought-provoking as Tuhog.
