"BFF" (short for "Best Friends Forever") is marketed as one of the biggest films this year as it showcases the tandem of Sharon Cuneta and Ai-Ai delas Alas. We saw the trailer several times in local television and we couldn’t help but laugh at the film’s snippets. There is no doubt that this film could be another blockbuster hit for Star Cinema and noteworthy is that this is not even a romcom film. This could also be an addition to the successful films that these two stars have already amassed through the years. Let us now see if this film would be a fun and enjoyable treat for everyone.
Honey (Sharon Cuneta)is starting to suspect that her husband is seeing another woman. In her effort to win her husband back, Honey decides to lose some weight. In the gym, she meets Frances (Ai-Ai delas Alas), a gym instructor and dance teacher - they eventually become really close friends, telling each other stories about their love lives unknown to them that the guy they are talking about is actually the one and same person (John Estrada). Conflict arises (and their budding friendship tested) when Honey (the estranged wife) and Frances (the mistress) finds out that they both love the same man.
Star Cinema’s Best Friends Forever (BFF), starring the Comedy Queen Ai Ai delas Alas and the Megastar Sharon Cuneta, raked in P107.6 million ($2,255,048)at the box-office in 5 weeks.Based in a report by Box Office Mojo, Best Friend Forever did not reach the no. 1 spot compared to previously shown local movies earlier this year. It
debuted at no. 2 on its weekend opening of May 13 to 17, 2009 with P44 million haul at the local box-office. The no. 1 movie in the country that time was Angels and Demons.
On its second week, Best Friends Forever (BFF) almost doubled its first weekend gross as it hit P82 million. Angels and Demons still ruled local box-office at that time while Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian debuted at no. 2.
To date, BFF is the second biggest Pinoy movie of the year so far, and only one of the two movies that surpassed the P100 million bracket. The first was the romantic comedy You Changed My Life starring John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo.
