Moron 5 and The Crying Lady Official Movie Poster Released!

Viva Films and MVP Pictures had released the official movie poster for the upcoming comedy film Moron 5 and The Crying Lady. The movie will star Luis Manzano, Billy Crawford, Marvin Agustin, Martin Escudero and DJ Durano as the 'Moron 5' and John 'Sweet' Lapus as the 'Crying Lady.'

Also included in the cast are German Moreno, Dennis Padilla, Arlene Muhlach, Deborah Sun, Jon Santos, and Carlos Agassi. 

Moron 5 and the Crying Lady is about 5 friends which were caught up in a frame-up incident. The 5 morons  (Luis, Billy, Martin, Marvin and DJ) were accused of killing the father of the Crying Lady (Sweet Lapus) which eventually turned the tables on them.

Here is the official synopsis for Moron 5 and the Crying Lady.

Half-witted longtime friends Albert (Luis Manzano), Isaac (Billy Joe), Mozart “Mo” (DJ Durano), Michaelangelo “Mike” (Martin Escudero) and Aristotle“Aris” (Marvin Agustin) were used to living moronic yet pretty normal and hassle-free lives until successful careerwoman Becky Pamintuan (John Lapus) accused them of killing her father and ruin everything for them. The Moron 5 are more than sure of their innocence but for the life of them, they can’t find any single satisfactory argument on how to prove it especially when their opponent would do everything to punish them for whim. Spending three miserable years in prison trying different failed comedic attempts to get out, they finally figured a way to escape. They stalked Becky and tried to understand why she’s fighting so hard to have them imprisoned when it’s clear as day that what happened three years ago was a nonsense frame-up. An opportunity came when Becky’s driver got fired for having an affair with her maid and Albert volunteered to apply to replace him. He infiltrated the Pamintuan Residence and together with his four crazily daft friends, they’ve gathered information about the curious family yet to them, it isn’t making any sense at all especially Becky’s unexplained hatred to the five of them. Why is Becky fighting so hard to have them suffer? The Moron 5 will try their hardest to know and hopefully understand what’s really going on although little did they know that by doing so, everything that they hold dear might be at risk.

Helmed by blockbuster director Wenn Deramas, Moron 5 and the Crying Lady is set to open in theaters nationwide on April 7, 2012.
