Hilarious, star-studded and fun.
Those were the first things that came to mind after we watched the trailer of Lumayo Ka Nga Sa Akin, a movie based on the Bob Ong book released in 2012.
While the book itself is a parody of mainstream Philippine cinema patterned after Shake, Rattle and Roll, the movie moves past the horror to serve thigh-slapping comedy.
The trailer bills Lumayo Ka Nga Sa Akin as an “epic parody trilogy” for both “fans and bashers of Pinoy movies.”
There are three stories in the movie. The first, directed by Mark Meily, pokes fun at action movies. It stars a wig-wearing Benjie Paras as the classic vengeful action star and Candy Pangilian as the damsel in distress.
The second spoofs Shake Rattle and Roll. Starring Maricel Soriano and Herbert Bautista, it’s about a family forced to stay at a haunted house in the middle of nowhere.
The last references Marimar complete with a Fulgoso counterpart, a mascot dog named “Yagit.” It stars Antoinette Taus, Cristine Reyes, and Paolo Ballesteros and has similar comedic elements to Kimmy Dora — which is not surprising since it’s directed by Chris Martinez himself.
Bob Ong’s Lumayo Ka Man Sa Akin will hit theaters in January. We cannot wait!
