Marius Talampas’ "Ang Pangarap kong Holdap" is one of the most refreshing local films of 2018. After dozens of romcoms flooding our cinema, this oddball comedy is a breath of fresh air.
The story is not your typical Pinoy comedy. It's more in the satirical nature as it follows a group of luckless dimwits on their journey to becoming the best thieves in their area. What makes this satirical comedy work is its commitment to its ludicrous concept. The film manages to create this alternate world where it's more acceptable to become a criminal than become an office employee (or a call center agent) for money. And it works. It fucking works.
Pepe Herrera, Paolo Contis, Jerald Napoles, and Jelson Bay all gave out amazing performances in the film. But it was Napoles that I really enjoyed the most. Maybe its the way his character was written. I don't know and I don't care. All I know is that I laughed so hard with his gags (especially that final scene).
To be honest, this movie is even way better than all the Vice Ganda blockbuster films we've had for the past two years. Marius Talampas’ "Ang Pangarap kong Holdap" is simply the best Pinoy comedy of 2018. Period.
