Reception
The film was graded "B" by the Cinema Evaluation Board of the Philippines.[http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=760908&publicationSubCategoryId=96 2 MMFF Filmd graded "A" by CEB] via Philippine StarAntonio Siegfrid O. Alegado of Business World described that the film could have been better had it not been hampered by poor editing as it was clear that the fusion of the families of Enteng and Ina was done in rather sloppy fashion. The film, however, was saved by the Tanging Ina cast thanks to nice performances.http://www.bworldonline.com/content.php?section=Arts&Leisure&title=Metro-Manila-Film-Festival-2011:-Getting-exactly-what-you-expect&id=44067
Mark Angelo Ching of PEP.ph gave the film a stronger review and described it as "the perfect mix of humor and fantasy that MMFF moviegoers look for year after year." The review also noted the solid performances of Gwen Zamora, Xyriel Manabat, and Thou Reyes.
In regards to the film's concept of doing a cinematic crossover of two established characters, Philbert Ortiz Dy stated that "filmmakers were content to just have the two big stars together on screen, giving them dialogue from other movies and pushing towards some ridiculous adventure climax".http://www.clickthecity.com/movies/?p=13559
Trivia
* The Kabisote family recognized Ina as the former president. They are referring to the movie, 'Ang Tanging Ina N'yong Lahat', when Ina became the president.
* This is also the Vic Sotto's second project under Star Cinema in 2011 after 'Pak! Pak! My Dr. Kwak!' and his fourth overall project with Star Cinema since 'Hindi Pa Tapos Ang Labada Darling'.
* Also the reunion of Ai-Ai delas Alas and Vic Sotto after the success of the movie of 'Bakit ba ganyan?' (Ewan ko nga ba, Darling) (2000)
*The last scene where Pip accidentally impregnates Aiza to the horrible surprise of both Enteng and Ina is a reference of how Pip had a daughter named Monay in the third and final film of 'Ang Tanging Ina Mo (Last na 'To!)' where he accidentally impregnates his best friend.
