There is also a romantic subplot that is terribly half-baked, we never likely saw how the main character fought for their relationship, assuming that love stories are just about waiting. It's actually difficult to see the entire message.

But then, it hardly helps telling a compelling story. It's fascinating to remember how kids were just playing with their school materials, fighting over a toy, passing letters, and making actual relationship to classmates. These parts would have been nice, only if it digs deeper to it, but it's mostly just culture where it insights what the students back in the days do without the modern technology. Roberto narrates how his life works: he has a family who wants him to graduate, he always encounters strict teachers, he had failures in class, embarrassing moments, loyalty to friends, having problems getting along with other people, and of course fallen in love. It's obvious the film is meant to relate to the ones who have been through the joys and troubles of education in the country. It kind of hurts and distracts the main storytelling which feels like we missed a lot of points of the plot. The only part the film seems to prioritize are the trends of each of those periods like listening to classic music, talking about popular television shows, watching box-office hits, and other stuff that were once big in the last decades.

It sounds like a sweet idea by pouring immense love of nostalgia, but the ambition didn't stray far enough. ABNKKBSNPLako?! The Movie follows the timeline of writer Bob Ong's school days, the main concept is to reminiscent the unforgettable memories of the old high school life.
