Review: The "Thank You Girls"

“Refreshingly Fabulous and Gay! Totally hilarious, comedy is written all over it added with heartwarming scenes that are not just purely to tickle your funny bones but also to awaken your social and cultural conscience..."

The “Thank You Girls” is a film about gay pageant life in Mindanao. The film narrates the story of 4 gays whojoin MG (Miss Gay) pageants for a living and to fulfill their dream, which is to become a “title holder”. Unfortunately, they alays end up the "thank you girls", pertaining to the line addressed to them as non-finalists by the pageant host after announcing the semifinalists.

The editing and cinematography are excellent. The lines of each character are definitely not a waste to watch! The Visayan language used in the film is definitely a good factor as the actors delivered their lines and acted naturally.

A good story combined with gayness and a little drama is surely a hit! The story surprised me with its father and son/daughter (hahaha) flavor that all of us can relate to– I did! And oh, the music! You won’t believe it but all songs used in the film are original and some were made specifically for the movies, all locally produced and recorded.
Congratulations Bebs (Editor, Writer, and Director – come on!) for this fantastic work of art. I have, and surely will and should recommend this movie to everyone, as in to all mankind!

Mikey and Direk Bebs!
