Beauty and the Bestie (2015)


IMDb plot summary: For an important case, a policeman needs the help of his former best friend to impersonate the daughter of a foreign dignitary in a beauty pageant.
Directed by Wenn V. Deramas. Starring Vice Ganda, Coco Martin, James Reid, and Nadine Lustre.

This is a very strange and wildly uneven movie, with some genuinely funny slapsticky moments alongside a lot of very uncomfortable ones. Apparently is the 3rd highest grossing Filipino movie, though, which is fascinating. Definitely not always my style of comedy but it's got some good moments and I'm glad I saw it.

How it entered my Flickchart:
Beauty and the Bestie < Frosty the Snowman
Beauty and the Bestie > The Return of the Pink Panther
Beauty and the Bestie < About Last Night...
Beauty and the Bestie > Stormy Weather
Beauty and the Bestie > Crash

Beauty and the Bestie > Annie (2014)
Beauty and the Bestie > A Civil Action

Final spot: #1979 out of 3084.
