The first must-see film of the year.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Blistering performances.

this one of the best family movies i have seen so far both foreign and local movies. the casting is fantastic. ai ai de las (who played mother) to twelve kids is so funny. she is a natural. i also love the kids. raising twelve kids can be disastrous, alarming but at the same time funny. the members of the family complemented each other.Their acting was really good. they could switch from funny to serious/dramatic and back to being funny again. This movie was really a huge hit in the Philippines that when Jerry Yen and Vic Zhou (members of the Asian phenomenal band F4) came to the Philippines, this movie was shown while the audience were waiting for the sold out concert to start.

I thought this movie was one of the better Filipino comedies i've seen. Ai-Ai portrayed the part of Ina well. Mostly I liked the actors and actresses who portrayed her children. Like Heart Evangelista, Carlo Aquino, Marvin Augustin, Serena Dalrymple, Shaina Magdayao,and Alwyn Uytingco and many more. this is the story of a mother who has 12 children. her 3 husbands had died and left her to take care of them. i loved how they had used famous quotes from other Filipino movies. like when she and Carlo Aquino did the line from bata bata with Vilma Santos who originally did the line with Carlo. that was the funniest part to me. and when she quoted lines from movies with Claudine, and Maricel Soriano. over all i liked this movie and i'm glad that she won best actress for her role here. the only part i didn't like was the two young love teams of heart and John Prats i'm more partial to her love team now Geoff Eigenmann. and i didn't really like Carlo Aquino with angelica panganiban again i'm more partial to his love team partner in the love team reality search qpids Vanessa Gomez they have more chemistry and are more comfortable with each other. i also loved Alwyn's portrayal of her gay son. i didn't expect him to be playing that type of role after watching him on Qpids. but he was very enjoyable there. and jiro manio played a cute but feisty little kid who beats up the little brother of Alwyn's crush. and Serena plays a girl who is very tomboyish. edu Manson and ton ton Gutierrez are two of her diseased husbands and Dennis Padilla comes into the picture as her potential next husband. Eugene Domingo her best friend that helps to raise her 12 children. the TV sitcom that spun off from the movie is almost the same except not as many children but same actors portrayed some of her children like Heart Evangelista and Marvin Augustin.

I don't usually see Filipino films, except those I've already seen when I was a kid (like "Sarah, Ang Munting Prinsesa.") This one though, I did like. It's very funny. The kid actors and kid actresses were superb. The storyline goes from comedy to drama to comedy. I absolutely love it. Ai Ai Delas Alas is an excellent mother, and the kids were very adorable. If you like watching family comedy, this it the best Filipino family comedy I've ever seen. There's the gay son, the little kids, the daughter with the crush... SOOOO hilarious. MUST SEE if you're a Filipino! Heck, even if you're not Filipino, this is a MUST SEE... if only the DVD has an English subtitle in it... Anyways, the story plot is simple but touching. And the comedy in it is JUST SUPERB. Really, definitely a MUST SEE.

i was forced to see this movie because of a friend.ok, Aiai was obviously trying her best to make the scenes funny BUT the other cast members were too corny.this is a typical story of how a mother, who failed to have a lasting married life (she had 3 three partners who died!),would do everything for the sake of her children.the story line was light but too impossible to happen.i saw the effort but u can skip this one.4/10
