Viva Films Releases New Comedy Film
Three classic comedy actors Andrew E., Janno Gibbs and Dennis Padilla reunited as Viva Films brings back old-school comedy through the new film “Sanggano, Sanggago’t Sangwapo”(SSS).
Upon the death of millionaire tycoon Don Robert Endrinal, Andy (Andrew E.) and Dondon (Padilla) finds out that their friend Johnny (Gibbs) is actually the son of the departed businessman, and naturally has the right and responsibility to take over his father’s business. But when they arrive at the mansion, the indolent Johnny tells everyone that Andy is Johnny to free himself from any responsibility. The hardworking Andy and the cunning Dondon play along with this charade.
Now that the three friends are thrust into a life of affluence and power, women are not far behind. They also have to deal with a certain Mr. Russel (Eddie Garcia), a land developer determined to acquire Johnny’s hacienda, turn it into a casino complex and make the whole province a gambling capital.
SSS also features young and pretty ladies like Louise delos Reyes, Cindy Miranda and Vanessa Wright.
Young and talented actors Julian Trono, Vitto Marquez and Andrew Muhlach also have special appearance as they play the young versions of Andy, Johnny and Dondon.
Back in the 90s, Andrew E., Janno Gibbs, and Dennis Padilla were all popular comedy actors and made millions of people laugh.
Their chemistry had been proven in the 97 film “Si Mokong, si Astig, at si Gamol”. A couple of decades later, it is interesting to see how the trio can entertain both their Gen X fans and the millennial with their brand of comedy.
“Sanggano, Sanggago’t Sangwapo” is now showing in cinemas nationwide, directed by Al Tantay. (MLC)
