People will enjoy this funny and feel-good  rom-com movie "Feelennial" with  Comedy and Box Office Queen Ai-Ai Delas Alas and versatile comedian and host Bayani Agbayani, as mid-aged people trying to find love in the digital age. 

These days,  many funny and adorable not so young people,  the 'titos and titas,' uncles and aunts try to adapt to the lifestyle of the younger generation. 

"Feelennial," a portmanteau of "feeling millennials," is about middle-aged individuals who feel and act like millennials. They are your adorable titos and titas, who stumble into one  misadventure after another as they try to adopt the lifestyle of the younger  generation. 

Romantic comedies are always a hit among Pinoys, as local movie-goers love the combination of a good laugh and the kilig feeling they get from these light-hearted movies.

"Feelennial" movie contains the ingredients of a sure blockbuster hit.

Ai-Ai plays the role of Madame Bato-bato, a rich single mom who has everything she needs except the attention of her only son Nico, played by actor-model Arvic Tan. She tries to do the activities that her millennial son is into to gain the latter's attention. In one of her feelennial activities-online dating, she meets Chito (Bayani's character), a rich bachelor who recently won a huge sum via lotto jackpot.

Their first encounter doesn't turn out too well, and what ensues is a flurry of mishaps and misadventures, pitting De las Alas and Agbayani into funny, yet thought-provoking situations on how romance and family dynamic has changed in today's society.

Both Ai-Ai and Bayani are surrounded at work by a young group of stars and production people, whose millennial habits they have somewhat imbibed as well.

Both Ai-Ai and Bayani said they find playing their roles in the movie a breeze as they can fully relate to their characters. With four grown-up children, Ai-Ai has always practiced the millennial vibe as she is into #0otd's, constantly takes selfies and groufies and regularly uploads these on her social media accounts. Bayani is also a certified "titolennial." Married for over two decades to his wife Lenlen, he gets his inspiration from their four young millennial daughters.

Directed by one of GMA 7's resident directors, Rechie del Carmen, Feelennial is produced by Cignal Entertainment, the original content division of the Philippine's #1 Pay TV provider, Cignal TV, and Pops Fernandez's DSL Productions, which marks its first venture into film production after organizing successful concerts for over 30 years.
