In the past decade, romantic comedies or rom-com has lord it over in Philippine cinemas.

Feelennial is no exception but Pinoy viewers will be in for so much surprise.
A little backgrounder about millennial. Since the term was invented, millennials does not only refer to a generation born on certain years but it also a lifestyle where you get to live the life of carefree existence.
In the movie Feelennial, we get to see a portmanteau of “feeling millennials,” or feelennial composed of middle-aged individuals who feel and act like millennials. They are your adorable titos and titas, who stumble into one misadventure after another as they try to adopt the lifestyle of the younger generation.
Ai-Ai plays the role of Madame Bato-bato, a rich single mom who has everything she needs except the attention of her only son Nico. She tries to do the activities that her millennial son is into to gain the latter’s attention. In one of her feelennial activities online dating, she meets Chito (Bayani’s character), a rich bachelor who recently won a huge sum via lotto jackpot. This is just the beginning and here are 6 reasons why you should really, really watch Feelennial to know what happens next:
It Defines the Family and Relationship Dynamics in Today’s Society
Some of the scenes in this movies is an eye-opener. How many times we heard of stories of living a good life in social media and yet... Feelennial opens our eyes to realities that love and family relationship in today's society has shift up.
The Movie Totally Peg this Generation Lifestyle
How many times we see posts of "Woke up like this!" "YOLO," or other things. Why is there a need to document everything in social media? Watching Feelennial will make you realize this and some.
Kilig factor between Ai Ai delas Alas and Bayani Agbayani
They have been in showbusiness for like decades now and I still can't believe that this will be the first time they are teaming up together and as loveteam to boot. Ai Ai is handsdown the Queen of Comedy and with Bayani's alway perfect cue when doing comedy their loveteam is a perfect combination. And get this, the two makes us giggle in their romantic moments. I think we are ready for Team AiNi!
Concert King and Queen Together Again?
If you grew up in the 80s and sleep late at night just to watch Martin Nievera and Pops Fernandez make googly eyes in Penthouse Live, you will get "kilig" watching Feelennial and don't let me explain more.
So many Quotable Hugot Lines!
With every minute of the movie giving you nonstop laughter, it is very hard to remember all those hugot lines and one-liners that is truly classic and worth posting. That's why I hope someone will document those funny lines or watch the movie again just for those.
