Here Comes the Bride

Chris Martinez's 2010 Filipino film opens with a group travelling on a wedding day. An accident during a total eclipse leaves five people's minds swapped between their bodies. The humour comes from that confusion. The bride wakes in an old woman's body and the old woman in the young one's; the narrative makes its comedy from how each behaves in a new body while trying to keep the wedding going. Eugene Domingo and Angelica Panganiban are in the cast, and the performers imitating one another is what the film is most discussed for. The tone is light and the pace high; the narrative moves into an emotional line in the final section. Who it's for: those who like Filipino comedy and body-swap premises. Who it's not for: viewers expecting realism; the film builds its logic entirely on jokes.
