MANILA, Philippines - After helming the super hit comedy, The Unkabogable Praybeyt Benjamin, now enjoying its record as the highest-grossing Filipino film of all time, director Wenn Deramas came up with yet another blockbuster movie, Moron 5 and The Crying Lady. On its third week in April, it hit the No. 2 spot in 2012’s Highest-Grossing Pinoy Films. Now, it’s out on video for everyone to enjoy.
The movie is about five friends whose low IQ makes them defenseless against the vicious schemes of a woman. Being together since childhood, Albert (Luis Manzano), Isaac (Billy Crawford), Mozart “Mo” (DJ Durano), Michaelangelo “Mike” (Martin Escudero) and Aristotle “Aris” (Marvin Agustin) are able to live hassle-free lives though lacking in smarts. Their simple world turns into chaos when a career woman named Becky Pamintuan (John Lapus) accuses them of killing her father and succeeds in putting them behind bars. Desperate to prove their innocence, they finally manage to escape from jail after several comedic attempts. Now, they’re out to stalk Becky to find out why she has her mind set on making them suffer.
