Laugh and enjoy the movie “FAMILIA BLONDINA”
Karla Estrada is happy to
be back on the big screen in the
comedy “Familia Blondina” that
will be in Canadian theaters this
April 5, produced by Arctic Sky
Entertainment. Although she’s
seen regularly in her morning
show, “Magandang Buhay,” the
last movie Karla did was almost
two years ago in “Gandarapido:
The Revengers Squad” where she
appeared with her own son, Daniel
Padilla, and Vice Ganda, which was
a mammoth hit. Is she nervous
“Familia Blondina” might not be as
big a hit as “Gandarapido”?
“Hindi
naman
ako
ninenerbiyos, mas excited ako,”
she says. “I’m very happy with the
movie kasi
nakakatawa
talaga
siya.
Ang galing ni Director Jerry
Sineneng in cooking up scenes na
magpapagulong talaga sa viewers
sa katatawa. Sa bagay, ang hitsura
ko pa lang, nakakatawa na, kasi ang
laki-laki ko sa screen. Ha ha ha!”
Karla plays Cindy, a promdi
who meets an American who takes
her to the US where all her kids
were born and raised. “Siempre,
hindi sila excited na umuwi sa ating
bansa, lalo na nga’t sa probinsiya
pa kami titira. Ayun, na-culture
shock sila nang husto, kasi ibang-
iba nga rito sa Pinas kaysa sa ‘Tate.
Doon magsisimula ang maraming
eksena ng katatawanan. Kapag
pinanonood nyo, matatawa talaga
kayo kasi, pati ako, natatawa
ako sa mga riot na eksenang
pinaggagagawa namin.”
Familia Blondina revolves
around Cindy, a woman who leaves
her family and moves to the US to
marry an American soldier. They
