REEL DEAL: The Mommy Returns REVIEW

This Mother's Day its time to treat mom to a mommy film. As many local movies focus more on romantic love, it time to again celebrate motherhood, and Regal Films brings the mommy movie of the year with THE MOMMY RETURNS. 

The Mommy Returns is a family comedy-horror movie about a mother, Ruby (POKWANG) who dies right on the day of her 25th wedding anniversary with gorgeous husband, William (GABBY CONCEPCION). With her untimely death, she is temporarily trapped in PURGA (short for Purgatory) with its guardian, Dyoga (JOHN LAPUS, ang diyosa ng purga) and the pesky Manny, the chicken pet of San Pedro.

Enter CATHERINE (RUFFA GUTTIEREZ) - a younger, fresher, and much, much prettier woman who comes into the life of William. When she threatens to take Ruby's place as mother to her three beloved children (KIRAY, GERALD PESIGAN and JILLIAN WARD), hell (er, purgatory) breaks loose as Ruby escapes back to earth as a ghost to scare and drive Catherine out of the family she left behind!

REEL DEAL: The Mommy Returns SPOTLIGHT

Paying tribute to mothers all over through films that showcase their devotion and dedication has been a Regal Entertainment, Inc. tradition over the years.

Matriarch Lily Monteverde recognizes the important role each mother play in their children's lives via movies she produces for Regal Films.

This Year, the company relives this Mother's Day tradition on May 9 through its upcoming release. THE MOMMY RETURNS! 

This time , it will be marked by no hysterics and no drama, but a combination of horrifying laughter that will cater to the entire family.

In the Joel Lamangan movie, comedienne Pokwang (as Ruby) shows her love for her bereaved child when she dies on her husband Gabby Concepcion's 25th weddding anniversary.

She does everything possible in her power to evade Dyosa ng Purga (played by John "Sweet" Lapus) while in purgatory just so Ruffa Gutierrez doesn't take her place as Gabby's new wife and stepmom to her three children - Kiray Celis, Gerald Pesigan and Jillan Ward. Join the riot include Gloria Diaz, John Lapus, Yaya Moi, Kerbie Zamora, Ervic Vijandre and Hiro  Magalona
