ABNKKBSNPLAko?! (2014)

A great throwback memory movie about school life days, ABNKKBSNPLAko?! is based on the popular book written by Bob Ong of the same title which tackles his school life days up to the first few years of his work life that everyone who has been a student can relate much to. ABNKKBSNPLAko?! is a phonetic to the phrase Aba, nakakabasa nap ala ako?! which translates “Wow, I can read now?!” Actually the movie translates what is in the book of Bob Ong which has become a huge hit because of its conversational style of writing and injected with Filipino humour while recalling best days in the schools. If you read the book, the movie is an autobiography of the author which focuses on his school days.

In case you didn’t read the book, this movie still worth to watch as it has a lot of scenes and plot that everyone can relate to. The film also proves that highschool is the best stage of school life. This is why it’s a throwback movie - because it recalls the popular things that happened to every student in school. Remember your first high school crush? Your terror teacher? Your hardest school project? Your most embarrassing moment? Your struggle to finish college? Your first love? All are in this movie! Fans of Bob Ong books will surely like this movie but caution on the limited length of the movie, as it definitely cannot translate the whole book into the movie. But it summarized the whole book very well. This is a feel good movie and makes you remember the best days of your school life. I like how it also paid tribute to all “teachers” of our life.
