Home to blockbuster films such as “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” the Resident Evil franchise, and the James Bond movies “Spectre” and “Skyfall,” the Sony-owned company marks its return to local movie distribution with the crowd-pleasing motion picture produced by T-Rex Entertainment Productions.
With the scenic route from Cebu to Dumaguete as backdrop, the movie serves up an unforgettably riotous road trip in which a single mother (Jose) drives her children in a cramped mini mini-van so they can pay their final respects to their father before he is laid to rest. The movie is in Bisaya and Tagalog. To prepare for her role, Jose took Cebuano lessons several weeks before the shoot.
"Sige kog katawa! (I couldn't stop laughing!) Irreverent, funny, and with just the right amount of kookiness," says Jerrold Tarog, director of the groundbreaking hit "Heneral Luna."
"I can make a top 10 list of best Pinoy road movies and this would be up there... maybe number 1," gushes Jade Castro, director of "Zombadings 1: Patayin sa Shokot si Remington."
"Nakakaaliw, nakakatawa! Ang galing ng mga artista! Gusto kong magroad trip kasama nila," says Sigrid Andrea Bernardo, writer-director of "Kita Kita."
Respected screenwriter Ricky Lee notes that the film "celebrates the joyous imperfections of every Filipino family" and praises its "superb cast of quirky yet lovable characters." It is, he says, a movie "that will leave you crying and laughing at the same time.”
