This uses a simple yet very effective comedy, I liked how the humor was delivered
here and how it connected itself to the audiences. I also love how Regal Films
is bringing back comedy movie that teaches us audiences’ lessons and values,
these kind of comedy films are rare these days.
On the
acting department, Lovi Poe was the bomb that surprised us, since this is her
first full length comedy movie my expectations were really not that high, but she
was able impress not only me but also other people who are watching inside the
cinema. This is so far my favorite Lovi Poe movie, she went all out and no
holds barred in this one.
Vhong
Navarro delivered the goods as well, but I felt he wasn’t able to justify his
portrayal of Sabrina’s character that sometimes I feel he was portraying a gay
role already, anyway he still made me laugh with his antics and of course the
humor is always there.
Another
character that stood out for me is Bayani Agbayani, he brought genuine laughter
in his scenes.
Over all Woke
Up Like This is a good movie, the writers Jeps Gallon and Joma Labayen were
able to incorporate their comic skills as they were able to make such a
hilarious comedy movie, and also kudos to Direk Joel Ferrer as he was able to
execute the movie well and he was able to show a different Lovi Poe.
