LJ took to Instagram her thoughts about the movie with the controversial title that led to the restriction of its screening in most cinemas.

While the Kapuso actress claimed to respect the R-16 rating of the MTRCB, she still firmly believes that the movie deserves the same support other films, especially the foreign productions, receive.

LJ explained, “Marius Talampas's witty comedy as a writer and impeccable comedic timing and visuals as a director make this film unique from it's contemporary.”

“The chemistry of the cast was undeniably strong! This is the first time the four main cast worked together, but each brought a flavor of his own, injecting their own kind of humor and character. Supporting cast were also great as their characters,” she continued.

LJ further defended her opinion, advocating to support local artists and films.

She said, “I just think it's so ironic that we support foreign films orchestrating grand heists or films that just follows male-character-driven adventures, but cannot support our own just because of the title. How often have we said “DON'T JUDGE THE BOOK BY ITS COVER!” but still we do every chance we get.”

“It may not be an ideal situation because it's a fictional story created to make the audience laugh. It may resemble reality, but it is not reality. Just like the foreign films we all love and support. Let's not forget it's a comedy film not a documentary,” she also stressed.
