The film satirizes stereotypical Filipino melodramas where a resilient central character, usually living in poverty bears the problem of raising an otherwise ungrateful family. The film is also famous for featuring cameos of Filipino singers Regine Velasquez, Ogie Alcasid, Lani Misalucha, Ely Buendia, Martin Nievera and many more lip-synching during the dramatic scenes for added comic relief. [4]

Plot

With the weight of an alcoholic née suicidal sister Brigitte (Sunshine Dizon), a womanizing addict for a brother Bogs (John Lapus), a hypochondriac for a mother Lupe (Gina Pareño), and a socially challenged lovelife Mark (Rudy Hatfield) hanging on her shoulders, Boobita Rose (Rufa Mae Quinto) breaks down by breaking into a song. However, she proves to be a tough cookie to crumble and gamely deals with her tribulations through a roller coaster ride of laugh and tears.
