Filipino sensibilities in MacLaine, Seyfried movie

A movie that is essentially about the importance of familial ties, Star Cinema agreed to distribute a Shirley MacLaine and Amanda Seyfried-starrer even before the Hollywood comedy-drama started filming.

“We’ve had the screenplay of The Last Word for the last years, and even then, we agreed to distribute the movie because it has very Filipino sensibilities and therefore a perfect fit to our target market,” said the company’s New Media Manager Gian Carlo Vizcarra at a news briefing on March 8. “It’s a very good family film that has also earned praise when it premiered at the Sundance Festival in January. We really hope the Filipino movie-goer will come to see and enjoy it.”
