Sosy Problems is a 2012 Filipino comedy film produced by Star Cinema and directed by Andoy Ranay. It stars Angel Locsin, Kim Chiu, Maja Salvador, and Kathryn Bernardo. The film is one of the eight official entries of the 2012 Metro Manila Film Festival which began on December 25, 2012. [2]
The film is streaming online on YouTube.
The film was first announced on May 7, 2012, through ABS-CBN Studios as they plan to release new films monthly. The original casts that was first revealed in Philippine Star was composed of Maja Salvador, Cristine Reyes, Kathryn Bernardo while the leading men happened to be Diether Ocampo and Enchong Dee. [5] The newest kapuso star, John Lloyd Cruz was the latest addition to the cast after signing an exclusive contract to ABS-CBN Studios and Star Cinema. [6] Director Mark Reyes was supposed to direct the film because Dominic Zapata was busy with the Boy Pick-Up: The Movie, but in May, Director Reyes was replaced by Andoy Ranay. [7] The script was submitted to the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority to be reviewed as potential Film Fest entry. [2] On June, the film becomes one of the 8 official entries to the 2012 Metro Manila Film Festival. [1] [8] It will have its regular screening starting December 25, 2012. [1] [9] In September, director Andoy Ranay changed the title from Coño Problems to Sosy Problems. [10]
In the film, Angel Locsin plays Lindsay, the spoiled-rich daughter of a hotelier who is a self-appointed leader of the Sosy group; Kathryn Bernardo portrays Mikay, the daughter of a politician who is on the brink of being impeached from office; Maja Salvador is Margaux, the daughter of the former beauty queen (Janice De Belen) and the best friend and half sister of Celyn (Kim Chiu) who is also the daughter of a beauty queen (Cherry Pie Picache). Margaux and Celyn were competing one another from beauty to the only man they see who is Benjie (Diether Ocampo), an all-around employee at the Polo Club.
Their main problem, however, is that their favorite hangout place, The Polo Club, which reminds them of all the memories of their “firsts” in life – including their first kisses and love affairs – is in danger of being torn down and replaced with a mall that is not so much for the rich and famous: in other words, not a “sosy” mall.
The “sosy” ladies will do everything they can in order to stop the Polo Club owners from pursuing their plans, and they will risk everything—even their poise and glamour—to achieve their goal.
The films official trailer was released on GMA Network's YouTube account on December 10, 2012. [11]
The film's theme song is Rocco Nacino's cover of "Learning The Ways Of Love", originally sung by Peabo Bryson.
