Plot
Agimat (Bong Revilla, Jr.) is married to his girlfriend (Sam Pinto) after he defeated a barbaric tribe that speaks in palindrome. They decided to live on Earth, alongside Enteng (Vic Sotto) and his family to experience family life. Meanwhile, Ako (Judy Ann Santos) is a fairy that disguises as an environmental activist along with her minions, including a pink Hulk (John Lapus).
Octopus-looking enemies arrive via spaceship, infecting and enslaving the barbarian tribe Agimat defeated, turning them into monsters trying to pollute the Earth with their corruption. It's up to Enteng, Agimat and Ako to defeat them, much to the chagrin of the men's respective wives.

Reception
Critical
In a review for Rappler.com, Carljoe Javier declared that the film did not surprise him other than the fact that it was extremely politically incorrect. He also pointed out that the movie had commercials inserted in it and that the storyline lacked a clear narrative.At ClickTheCity.com, Philbert Ortiz Dy declared "'Si Agimat, Si Enteng, at Si Ako' is utterly unnecessary. There are already several movies just like it in existence, ones with less blatant product placement and a less skeevy overall tone. The people involved in the picture seem to be producing it completely out of inertia at this point, just going through the motions for another year, hoping to lure in people based on name recognition alone."

As of December 26, 2012, this movie had P47,700,000,2012 Metro Manila Film Festival#Second Day Gross with Vice Ganda, Ai-Ai de las Alas and Presidential sister Kris Aquino's 'Sisterakas' at #1, which had P71,200,000 gross, earning the 1st-place position for two consecutive days so far.See also
