Best appreciated for the winning performances of its trio of stars, who convey their characters' desperation with humor and poignancy.
03/01/04
It ain't War & Peace, but there are some pleasant comedic moments here.
11/27/04
There's a refreshing optimism fueling his take on working-class life, as if Meily views friendship and neighborly generosity as currencies equal to cold, hard cash.
02/19/04
An endearing comedy that deftly blends sentiment and grit and features a clutch of top Filipino stars.

Top CriticThere aren't many surprises as the story unfolds in soap-opera fashion, with a happy ending for all concerned.

In this sloppy, happy soap opera from the Philippines, three working-class Manila women are hired as paid mourners at a traditional Chinese funeral.

Top CriticA heartwarming little film with charming performances by the ladies.
