Gusto Kita with All My Hypothalamus is a Philippine romantic-drama film, directed and written by Dwein Baltazar.[1][2] It stars Iana Bernadez, Nicco Manalo, Anthony Falcon, Dylan Ray Talon and Soliman Cruz. The story follows four men as they realize they are all searching for the same woman.[3][4][5]
In the busy streets of downtown Manila, Avenida serves as the stage for the story of four lonely men named Caloy, Obeng, Alex and Lando who are yearning for something they cannot quite put their hands on - a missing puzzle piece, who happens to be Aileen, a mysterious girl. What started as innocent infatuation turns into an obsession by these men who go the extra mile for her.
The Cinema Evaluation Board (CEB) gave the film a zero rating.[7] After receiving a non-rated ratings, Director Perci Intalan said, he respects the CEB decision but feels that it took a dangerous turn because CEB is created for film industry incentives, not guide the public viewing options, which is the MTRCB responsibility. Baltazar expresses her disappointment with a sick imagination face on her social media account. Ricky Lee is dismayed of CEB grading over the movie.[7]
Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) Chairperson Liza Diño responded to CEB criticisms by saying, there is no such thing as zero rating but only A and B but before a movie is graded, it will go through a pre-qualification procedure. She clarified that during the pre-qualification process, there were nine (9) reviewers and five of them voted for, "no", while the remaining four voted for "yes".[8]
