Watch Ai-Ai delas Alas and Bayani Agbayani's hilarious tandem in the movie "Feelennial"
Just recently, we had the privilege to be invited to the advanced screening of the "Feelennial" movie starring the zany tandem of the Comedy and Box Office Queen Ms. Ai-Ai delas Alas and versatile comedian and host Bayani Agbayani held at the Red Carpet Cinema of Shangrila Plaza in Mandaluyong City.
The director Rechie del Carnen with the "Feelennial" and Ms. Pops Fernandez of DSL Events and Productions, Inc. and the movie cast present during the advanced screening, Arvic Tan, Jelai Andres, Ms. Ai-Ai delas Alas, her daughter Sophia delas Alas, Raffy Roque and Skelly Skelly.
The cast were introduced to us before the screening started and some of them were not that familiar for us, so I got curious and felt more interested on how will they perform and get away with the big names like Ms. Ai-Ai and Bayani....
Hope you could watch this video of the "Feelennial" cast and Ms. Ai-Ai delas Alas' special message right after watching the movie
Please don't feel discouraged or feel-bored when at first you find the first few scenes of the movie to be not that fast-paced as we expect a romantic-comedy film like "Feelennial" to be like that. We were so glad that it slowly picked up as the different characters of the story began to show up on the screen. You may find the plot of the movie to be shallow at first, yes, but once you were in it and felt all the chemistry and the wacky scenes, I will tell you, you'll be "hooked" guys!!!
Ms. Ai-Ai's character as Madame Bato-Bato could also be me, you, or anyone here she's so relatable to some, most especially when she's doing stuff like most of the millennials do like being addicted to slefies, groupfies, going on live, having several posts in social media everyday, donning her OOTD's (Outfit Of The Day) and a lot more! She has a lot of followers in her social media accounts that's is why, it is not a surprise if she's also one of the influential people to consider.
Feelennial, a portmanteau of
“feeling millennials,” is about middle-aged individuals who feel and act like
millennials. They are your adorable titos
and titas, who stumble into one
misadventure after another as they try to adopt the lifestyle of the younger
generation.
Ai-Ai plays the role of Madame Bato-bato, a rich single mom who has everything she needs except the attention of her only son Nico, played by actor-model Arvic Tan. She tries to do the activities that her millennial son is into to gain the latter’s attention. In one of her feelennial activities – online dating, she meets Chito (Bayani’s character), a rich bachelor who recently won a huge sum via lotto jackpot.

To continue, Madame Bato-Bato may all have the glory and richness of the society, she dresses well, had a very luxury lifestyle but it seemed like one important "thing" is missing in her life. And that is "love." She doesn't have any personal relationship to men and she longs for the love and attention of her one and only son, Nico. Until she meet this "masked guy" who's Chito played by Bayani Agbayani, whom she accidentally fell during a party in a posh bar. From then on, she felt she deserves to have another chance in love and the search for the "mask man" began with the help of another wacky character, her assistant Dua played by singer/ comedian Nar Cabico and girlfriends Tahoma, Cambria, Aerial and Sophia.
Their
first encounter doesn’t turn out too well, and what ensues is a flurry of
mishaps and misadventures, pitting De las Alas and Agbayani into funny, yet
thought-provoking situations on how romance and family dynamic has changed in
today’s society.
Both Ai-Ai and Bayani are surrounded at work by a young
group of stars and production people, whose millennial habits they have
somewhat imbibed as well. These include cast members Nar Cabico as Dua, Ina
Feleo as Tahoma, Nicole Donesa as Cambria, Jelai Andres as Aerial, Sofia delas Alas as
Sophia, Skelly Skelly as Dope, Micah
Muñoz as Shanty, Arvic Tan as Nico and Raffy Roque as Efril, with special
participation of Martin Nievera, Pops Fernandez, and Paolo Ballesteros.
Both Ai-Ai and Bayani said they find playing their roles in
the movie a breeze as they can fully relate to their characters. With four
grown-up children, Ai-Ai has always practiced the millennial vibe as she is
into #ootd’s, constantly takes selfies and groufies, and regularly uploads
these on her social media accounts. Bayani is also a certified “titolennial.” Married for over two
decades to his wife Lenlen, he gets his inspiration from their four young millennial
daughters.
What I really can't forget about this hilarious film was the fact that, once you start to laugh, it's non-stop, I swear!!! I've also learned from Ms. Ai-Ai that, she's been friends with Bayani ever since she started her showbiz career, and now that she's reached her 30 years in showbiz, this is the very first time that the two of them did a movie together and she admitted that she didn't expect that their closeness and chemistry off-cam registered well on-screen and I must say, they were so zany, riotous, wacky and lovable at the same time!!! I would like to give you a tip... their beach scene was insane hahaha I can still hear my voice still laughing as well as Ms. Ai-Ai's laugh while we were watching their movie echoed inside the cinema!
I would also like to share the humorous tandem of Ms. Ai-Ai and Nar Cabico! I tell you, they make one helluva wacky duo/tandem/friends. Most especially during those scenes when Madame Bato-Bato tells Dua to "Hanapin mo sa loob ng bag ko..." or "Hanapin mo sa damuhan..." you were wondering what is there to look for? Well, you'll get the answers if you watch their "Feelennial" movie. And do look forward to their sofa scene, if Bayani and Ms. Ai have a beach scene, Nar and Ms. Ai-Ai have a sofa scene hahaha do watch it guys it's a real treat and go with your friends or families it's gonna be more fun and enjoyable, promise!!!
