Storyline
This year, Enteng Kabisote meets Ina Monticello. Enteng grows tired of his action packed “fairy” tale life, so he yearns to live as a normal person. Meanwhile, Ina begins to feel the empty-nest syndrome when her kids decide to live lives of their own, so she goes for a quest to look for her fifth husband.
The film's director, Tony Y. Reyes, reveals in an interview with PEP how Enteng and Ina meet up. “Nagkataong masama ang loob ni Enteng at naglalasing. Nilagyan siya ngayong ng spell ni Santana para masira nang tuluyan ‘yong pamilya niya. Ang spell ay kung sino’ng unang papasok sa pinto na babae, ‘yon ang liligawan at makaka-love-team ni Enteng. Nagkataon, si Ina ang unang pumasok sa bar na ‘yon,” he said.
The film was written by Kriz G. Gazmen, Bibeth Orteza, Tony Reyes, Dano Mariquit. The cast also includes Eugene Domingo, Bing Loyzaga, Aiza Seguerra, Amy Perez, Oyo Sotto, Jose Manalo, Wally Bayola, Marvin Agustin, Nikki Valdez, Xiriel manabat, Carlo Aquino, Alwyn Uytingco, Yuuki Kadooka, and Ruby Rodriguez.
