‘Becky & Badette’ Review: Going beyond comedy

Both hilarious and heartwarming. The tandem of Pokwang and Domingo under the direction of Jun Lana offers different types of comedy and some will surprise you. But what’s great about the film is that it goes beyond the genre. If there’s a word for “may kabuluhang comedy,” that’s what I would describe Becky & Badette.

BECKY & BADETTE is now showing in cinemas nationwide from The IdeaFirst Company and OctoberTrain. Rated PG by the MTRCB. An official entry to the Metro Manila Film Festival. #MMFF2023 #BeckyAndBadette
