Best Friends Forever (BFF) in America

by admin, on Tue, Jun 9 2009 | No Comments

Best Friend Forever (BFF) is a blockbuster movie hit of the Megastar Sharon Cuneta and the Comedy Queen Ai-Ai Delas Alas. The stellar combination was made even brighter by the country’s blockbuster comedy director Wenn V. Deramas and seasoned scriptwriter Mel Del Rosario. The movie was shown in Philippine theater last May 13 as Star Cinema’s offering for its 16th Anniversary and it was warmly accepted by movie-goers. Without doubt, BFF is another winner and blockbuster this year.

BFF is first comedic film after a long, long time. If my memory serves me right the last comedy film made by Sharon was the Jack ‘en Jill which she co-star Vice Mayor Herbert Bautista way back in 1980’s. And of course Ai-Ai is the consistent blockbuster comedy queen of the Philippine with her top-grossing films Tanging Ina Nyo and the Ang Tanging Ina N’yong Lahat.

BFF promises tons of good laugh and fun. Sharon-Gabby fans must watch the movie because Gabby Concepcion had a surprise guest appearance on the film which made the fans shrieking in delight. If you miss Sharon and the Philippines BFF is definitely a good way to cure homesickness.

The BFF is set to screen in 8 U.S. cities in celebration to TFC’s 15th anniversary. BFF was be shown in Las Vegas, San Diego, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Honolulu, Kauai and Chigaco.
