Caparas’ “Tirad Pass.” Since then, he’s been on a mission to find better memories with Philippine cinema. The first Filipino movie he saw in the theaters is Carlo J. It is what it was set out to be, entertainment, the cheap and horrible kind.įrancis Joseph Cruz, or Oggs, litigates for a living and writes about cinema for fun. It has the feel of sterile improvisation. The characters, instead of being shaped from concept or the logic of the story, are just reliant on the offscreen personas and charisma of the actors and actresses playing them.Ĭonsequently, “Call Center Girl” hardly feels thought out. The movie is afflicted by atrociously lazy writing. Every character is either a stereotype or an ornament, meant to be nothing more than an ingredient to carry on a punchline. There is very little characterization elsewhere in the movie. The attempt is evidently a failure since never once does “Call Center Girl” evoke anything other than uninspired silliness. “Call Center Girl” says nothing relevant about the lifestyle and profession it brazenly utilizes for its own generic purposes.Ĭuaresma’s only attempt at originality lies in his effort to juggle within the sordidly schizophrenic narrative his brand of inane comedy with the requirements of sappy melodrama.

Setting the plot within the world of call centers is nothing more than a needless front. It is because it has been told and retold – in various other films and shows that portray the Filipino mother as constantly misunderstood and mistreated. If the plot is familiar, it is not because it grossly resembles reality. Just to repair her relationship with her wayward daughter, she works with her in a call center, spending her nights selling useless fitness products to depressed Americans just to earn enough money to pay for her daughter’s whims. She returns just to be widowed and to find out that her youngest daughter (Jessy Mendiola) abhors her.

She is an overseas worker, slaving away in a cruise ship for the survival of her family. She is presented as the pinnacle of Filipino suffering. Yet “Call Center Girl” actually begs for sympathy for Teresa, who as directed by Cuaresma and portrayed by Pokwang, is woefully immature. She rapidly mouths supposedly funny nonsense, automatically bursts into tears with superhuman ease, and needlessly performs splits and stunts for no apparent reason.īy the middle of the movie, the curiously charismatic comedienne turns the hapless mother into a circus act, siphoning all humanity out of an already thinly-written character. Its idea of substance is nothing more than motherhood statements on motherhood which would have had more effect if they were written in a greeting card rather than in this movie.īereft of any real substance, it aspires for nothing else but shallow giggles that quickly dissipate once the feeling of being cheated of hard earned money starts settling in.Īt the center of the movie is Pokwang, who turns her role of Teresa, a recently repatriated mother, into a repetitive spectacle, or worse, a ponderous anomaly. It is pregnant with gags, most of which is gratingly dull and mechanical.

The movie has almost all the elements of a television sitcom. There is absolutely no question about it. MANILA, Philippines – Don Cuaresma’s “Call Center Girl” was made to entertain.
