Ana Capri deserves a better vehicle., 20 October 2002
Author: oscar jubis (cjub704@msn.com) from miami, FL

Pila-balde transports the old plucky-but-naive poor girl in love with rich boy to the slums of Manila. The plot is entirely predictable and the script exhibits little psychological depth. Some of the many sex scenes seemed superfluous. The film is almost redeemed by the quality of a few performances(particularly Ana Capri's ) and some interesting sociological details.
