Movie Review: That Thing Called Tanga Na

Main Cast: Billy Crawford, Angeline Quinto, Eric Quizon, Kean Cipriano, Martin Escudero

Director: Joel Lamangan

MTRCB Rating: PG

Released By: Regal Entertainment Inc.

Gays in the Philippines are said to comprise about 10% of the country’s population. Far from their status of decades ago when they used to be frowned at, gays or ‘bekis’ of today enjoy far greater freedom and acceptance in the community. Most of them are creative, financially independent and lead colorful lives - yet in reality, they are often wanting of real love.

“That Thing Called Tanga Na” is a movie about love and friendship among gays. Four gay men and a woman comprise this group of friends who are engaged in various professions. The movie revolves around their heartbreaks on finding true love.

A regular viewer may have a fairly good expectation of this movie owing to the fact that director Joel Lamangan was at the helm. Unfortunately, to be in for a major letdown is totally unexpected.

First of all, one will get lost with such a big number of characters, with everyone actively involved in each others’ lives – including its every twist and turn. It would have been ideal had the characters been allowed to develop for better appreciation.

Among others, the flow of the story is flawed. With such a cast, each scene becomes a confusion of the many issues of each character. Names and situations are lumped up in each fast-paced dialogue making it hard for the viewer to catch up what was actually happening, thus missing the point in the process. There are just so many things going on – literally.

Another thing, it is a struggle to appreciate a movie whose screenplay leaves much to be desired – ie, old, overused gay jokes that had seen better days, in short corny and ridiculous. In street language, ‘bumenta na’. And I bet you, there are a lot of those. Top that with loud and OA acting, and you get the picture.

Ron or papa Tiu (Eric Quizon) plays a rich gay businessman, separated from wife, and is lover to a two-timing Albie. Fashion designer Sissy (Kean Cipriano) suffers a similar fate, along with his girl Friday, Shirley (Angeline Quinto) who has a ‘gifted’ cheating partner, too. It’s only closeted gay Baldo (Billy Crawford), who marries his one true love in an unlikely scenario and salon owner Georgette (Martin Escudero) who seem to be the only characters whose love issues are not as absurd.

Furthermore, the film could have been treated with a fresher take on some gay issues that the public are not familiar with. Unfortunately, it is bombarded with scenes and dialogues that are glaringly old. It doesn’t project gays in a favorable manner the way the movie presented them. Those gay-loving young men who will do anything in exchange for a big bonanza from their rich benefactors, isn’t that as old as the hills?

Perhaps, the only saving grace of the movie are the happy testimonies of celebrity gay couples who have struggled to be accepted for their love and won it in the end.

Others in the movie are Albie Casino, Ken Alfonso, Lawrence Yap, Luke Conde, Nikki Valdez, Gerard Napoles, Paolo Gumabao, Shine Kuk and Vangie Labalan. Now showing in cinemas.

Just Accept Every Opportunity That is Offered

While a number of hopefuls wait for their turn for that big break, Young Performer (YP) was among the lucky ones who got the nod of the station and hordes of fans. Not only is YP good-looking, he is talented as well. At first, YP showed he was musically-inclined, but the network believed he could deliver more. When the network gave him a break in acting, YP immediately clicked with the audience and soon, his management knew that someday, YP would become a huge star.

Years later, YP is reaping the patience and the fruits of his timely appearance in the entertainment industry. He was a refreshing addition to the network and he was a natural charmer. As the cliché goes, strike while the iron is hot. Thus, YP was appearing in one project after another. On top of his acting gigs, he also has concerts both in the local scene and abroad. His endorsements indicate the proof that companies believe he could best represent their product and perhaps, become a role model for the youth. Given his strenuous workload, it seems that YP hardly sleeps as he honors his commitments.

Nonetheless, one works hard for a reason. In the case of YP, he has been on call since that moment when he hit it big. Hardly has he been on vacation away from the limelight. While his contemporaries have been vocal about their investments, YP’s camp has remained mum on where he invests his money. This question might be irrelevant to some, but quite bothersome for others, as they want to see YP truly enjoying his earnings.

Rumors have it that YP has been striving hard because of family matters. Allegedly, YP could not say anything except to produce the cash when his family presents to him the bills that have to be paid. As a dutiful son, YP obliges, and thus, he has to keep working to make sure his family will not end up in debt. While he could leave his family, such an idea is far from YP’s mind. His family’s needs come first and he will make sure he maximizes every opportunity to help his family members. However, YP, as breadwinner, seems not enough. According to the grapevine, other family members intend to join showbiz as well. Perhaps, if they make it big, the financial burden on YP could be relaxed a bit.

‘The only way to get people to like working hard is to motivate them. Today, people must understand why they're working hard. Every individual in an organization is motivated by something different.’ –Rick Pitino
