Does true love stand the test of time? This is explored in “Meant To Beh” the latest blockbuster film starring Vic Sotto and Dawn Zulueta.
During the holiday season, happy families and loving
relationships are highlighted amongst the merrymaking of the holidays. With
Meant To Beh, moviegoers are treated to this funny and poignant story about the
Balatbat family, where they can pick up timely lessons about life and love
along the way. Middle-aged couple Antonio (Vic) and Andrea Balatbat (Dawn) try
their best to raise their three children, Christian (JC Santos), Alex (Gabbi
Garcia), and Riley (Baby Baste).
The Balatbats have a perfect family setup despite the fact
that the couple was only forced by their parents to get married when they were
younger. These and other issues arise through the years, creating challenges
and hardships that threaten the harmony within the family and eventually lead
to a point where the couple, realizing that they never really loved each other,
decides to separate in order to find themselves.
This decision breaks their children’s hearts and they
devise way to get their parents back together again despite both finding new
respective partners. It has become their mission to get their parents to fall
in love.
The family movie, which Dawn
describes as “heartwarming”, is said to be the first “serious” comedy by Bossing
Vic Sotto. He is very proud of the Filipino values that are highlighted, aside
from the production’s entertainment value that will be enjoyed by audiences
young and old. “There are no grand special effects this year, unlike the Enteng
Kabisote series that we have presented in the past holiday seasons. It is a
simple, relatable story that takes a closer look at today’s Filipino families
and the values that we cherish.”
The movie, which also stars Sue
Ramirez, Ruru Madrid, Andrea Torres, and Daniel Matsunaga is directed by Chris
Martinez for Octoarts Films, M-Zet Productions and APT Entertainment.
Meant To Beh: Ika-Something na
Utos will
make its premiere in Philippine cinemas on December 25, 2017 as one of the
eight official entries of the 2017 Metro Manila Film Festival.
