Joel Ferrer presents a comedy that aims to bring laughter by showcasing the struggles of Filipinos in contemporary Manila, but it fell short of making me smile. The narrative of "Fruitcake" starts with a character from the province who finds himself in the bustling city, ultimately weaving together various stories by the end. Ferrer expressed his long-standing desire to create a film centered on unity, mentioning that teenagers will connect with his work and discover that there's always someone who cares for them. While he has a point, it seems there wasn't much for a broader audience to enjoy. The direction was frantic, the overall vibe was uplifting, but the acting was subpar, the dialogues were below average influenced by the new changes pushed on the society, and the casting felt overly inclusive in a forced "woke" way. It just kept on going!
Plot summary
In modern-day Metro Manila, a diverse group of Filipinos faces life's lows as their destinies collide on a fateful train ride, unfolding a heartwarming and comedic tapestry of interconnected stories.
