Kenkoy

About This Movie

Kenkoy (1982) is a quirky comedy that brings to life the antics of the titular character, Kenkoy, as he pursues Rosing, the quintessential Manileña. The film captures a light-hearted yet chaotic atmosphere, filled with playful misunderstandings and slapstick humor. The pacing is energetic, reflecting the comic strip's origin, though sometimes it feels a bit rushed. What stands out are the performances; they embody the exaggerated charm typical of Filipino comedies of that era. There's a certain nostalgic flair in the practical effects and set designs that transport you back to the fun-loving days of the 80s. It’s not just a remake; it carries the spirit of Velasquez’s beloved comic strip, making it an interesting watch for collectors.
