Review: Bar Boys

Bar Boys

Director: Kip Oebanda

Starring: Rocco Nacino, Enzo Pineda, Kean Cipriano, and Carlo Aquino

Genre: Comedy, Drama

 

Bar Boys tackles the story of four legal management graduates who took up law and they are Torran (Rocco Nacino), Chris (Enzo Pineda), Josh (Kean Cipriano), and Erik (Carlo Aquino). All of them had the fair share of unfortunate events from taking the admission test to their Law School up to the Bar Exam that will test not only their friendship, but also their will to finish the thorny road to being an attorney at law.

This is so far my favorite Pista movie for three reasons, first is that I can relate to it since our family is a family of lawyers.  

The second reason is that Bar Boys got a great ensemble from the lead down to the bit players they all did very well especially the three lead characters. I just love how Rocco Nacino delivers his role as Torran who Is a cocky and a happy go lucky guy that is always there to help, Enzo Pineda surprisingly impressed me in this movie (So far this is his best movie) he really carried himself making him look like a real law student, Carlo Aquino hands down is really a great actor he effortlessly move from the comic side to the dramatic side of the movie. (P.S Angeli Canapi brought the house down, she really gave an electrifying performance that I can’t stop laughing at her antics in this movie).

The third reason why I love Bar Boys is that the story was well written and well executed, though there are four main characters it was able to show the story of each characters, there personal struggles up to their struggles in school.

Also the movie was well researched, from the classroom set up, the terror professor, grading system, the way law student behave and their attitude, and also even the fraternities they were also able to tackle it.

Bar Boys deserve the A grade they received from the Cinema Evaluation Board, this is worthy your money and this will also give you a glimpse of what Law School look like, it will take you to a walk in the park, the Jurassic Park.

Bar Boys is set to Premiere this August 16-22 in cinemas nationwide and this is also one of the official entries to the Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino.
