‘Bes and the Beshies’ in theaters tomorrow

A single mom hoping to complete her family. A martyr wife who will do anything to keep her family from falling apart. A mistress who is desperate to have her own family. And a young woman who fully supports them.

Four women facing real life struggles are the focus of a new laugh out loud comedy, Bes and the Beshies, starring box office comedy queen Ai Ai delas Alas with Carmi Martin, Beauty Gonzales, and Zsa Zsa Padilla. 

The film, which opens tomorrow, is directed by Joel Lamangan and written by Ricky Lee, Alpha Habon and Rod Marmol. It is a welcome return to form for Ai Ai, who briefly headlined two independently produced dramas before returning to the comedy genre that defined her storied career as a sought-after box office superstar.

Ai Ai’s role as Charla, hits pretty close to home, as she herself has raised her children on her own for years. But unlike Ina, her most famous role in the Ang Tanging Ina, her portrayal of Charla focuses more on relationship issues rather than maternal concerns.

 Ai-Ai delas Alas (second from right) returns to the movies in a new comedy film together with (from left)  Beauty Gonzalez, Zsa Zsa Padilla, and Carmi Martin. 

Although co-star Zsa Zsa Padilla is more identified with dramas, the singer-actress is not exactly new to comedies, having played the title roles in Zsa Zsa Zaturnah and Mano Po 4: Ako Legal Wife for which she won a grand slam Best Actress from three award giving bodies.

In Bes and the Beshies, Zsa Zsa’s performance of traditional martyr wife Mabel is something to watch out for. As seen in the film’s official trailer, she has a remarkable rapport and chemistry with Ai Ai, Carmi and Beauty. 

No stranger to comedies, Carmi Martin has made a career out of making people laugh since her acclaimed turn in Ishmael Bernal’s Working Girls. Carmi plays Tisay and is a throwback to the mostly ditzy characters she has portrayed for much of her career. 

Since capturing the public’s imagination as one of the well-loved housemates of Pinoy Big Brother, Beauty Gonzales has emerged as a versatile actress who is adept at both drama and comedy.

Although the youngest among the four leads, Beauty has shown that she can shine on her own as Sophie and can complement her more seasoned co-stars.

Furthermore, what makes Bes and the Beshies a cut above your average comedy flick is that it is a collaboration between two award-winning filmmakers. 

Joel Lamangan and Ricky Lee may have made a name for themselves with numerous dramatic films but they have in fact, also done their fair share of comedies. 

With a strong creative team and a cast of talented leads, expect Bes and the Beshies to be a comedy that offers more than just escapist entertainment with a story that rings true and tugs at the heartstrings.

A Cineko Productions presentation, the film also stars Emilio Garcia, Sancho Vito Delas Alas, Alan Paule, Nikko Natividad, Jon Lucas, Wilbert Ross, Mark Joseph Tam, and Heaven Peralejo. 

The film is distributed by Regal Entertainment.
