Enteng ng Ina mo: The Ultimate Pampamilya Christmas Movie !!!

The much-anticipated! The  most exciting! The happiest! The biggest! The most magical team-up is finally here! Laugh all you can! Cheers all you can! "Enteng ng Ina Mo" will give us all our merriest Christmas ever!

In what could be the most improbable casting combination on the big screen, M-Zet Films, Octoarts Films, APT Entertainment and Star Cinema 's " Enteng ng Ina Mo" is indeed  the most "must watch" film entry in the 2011 Metro Manila Film Festival. According to Vic Sotto, "Just the fact na magkasama kami ni Ai-Ai at kung paano kami nagkasama eh kaabang-abang na talaga". 

The common denominator of "Enteng ...." and "Tanging..." series is the fact that the two movies have always heralded family as its core. There lies the similarity of the two, the importance of family, the strength of unity, the ties, the solidity. Truth be told, both series have indeed shown in very different fashions, "Enteng..." in the magical world of enkantasya and "Tanging..." in her own crazy-happy-color real world.

Director Tony Y. Reyes with Ai-Ai delas Alas and Vic Sotto

"Enteng ng Ina Mo" just might well be the "It"  movie this season! Exciting, magical, happy, big! Let us all cheer to a very merry Christmas family movie!


"Enteng ng Ina Mo" opens on Christmas day, December 25, 2011 in more than 100 theaters nationwide!
