Stomach In, Chest Out

About This Movie

Stomach In, Chest Out is a curious entry in the 1988 Filipino comedy scene, co-written and directed by Junn P. Cabreira. The film’s atmosphere is light-hearted, often tipping into absurdity, which keeps things lively. Eddie Garcia's performance, alongside Joey Marquez, brings a unique dynamic; their comedic timing feels refreshingly natural. The pacing can be erratic, reflecting the playful spirit of the film. The ensemble cast, including the likes of Lara Melissa de Leon and Mercy Dizon, adds a diverse flavor, each character bringing their quirks to the mix. Themes of body image and self-acceptance surface humorously yet poignantly. It’s one of those films that feels like a snapshot of its time, embodying the fun and frivolity that marked late '80s Filipino cinema.
