MANILA, Philippines - Four of the country’s most popular comedians — Herbert Bautista, Dennis Padilla, Andrew E. and Ogie Alcasid — are all set for their ultimate barkada reunion via Heaven’s Best Entertainment’s much-anticipated comedy movie, Raketeros hits today in cinemas nationwide. The “ultimate throwback†barkada film is the film directorial debut of Randy Santiago.
Distributed by Star Cinema, Raketeros is set to bring back on the big screen the hit comic tricks and riots of classic Filipino comedy that will truly captivate the hearts of young and young-at-heart moviegoers.
“Kami ring magkakaibigan ang nag-conceptualize ng story nitong Raketeros. Masayang kuwento siya ng magkakabarkada na may iba-ibang raket sa buhay,†said Herbert, who spearheaded the reunion movie project. “Ang role ko dito ay cable guy. Tapos si Andrew, ‘alagad ng Diyos;’ si Ogie, singer sa mga funeral; at si Dennis naman, ginagamit na raketang galing niya sa bilyar.â€
From a simple favor of their rich ‘kumpare’ (played by Joey Marquez) who asked them to deliver an expensive gown that will be used by their goddaughter, a series of hilarious mishaps suddenly puts them and their task in jeopardy.
When everything seems to be going down, how will the ‘raketeros’ rescue each other?
