Release

Box office

The film captured the number one spot on the first day of 2011 Metro Manila Film Festival box office race with a whooping ₱38.5 million gross well ahead of the runners-up, Ang Panday 2 and Segunda Mano with ₱20 million and ₱18.25 million gross respectively.[7][8]

During its opening day, the film grossed over ₱38.5 million nationwide making it as the highest-grossing film on its first day of all-time in the Philippines breaking the records of Spider-Man and Avatar. On its second day, the movie total gross is ₱69 million. It is higher than Ang Panday 2, with ₱38 million and Segunda Mano with ₱35 million. On its third day, (according to MMFF committee) Enteng ng Ina Mo grossed 91.9 million. Enteng ng Ina Mo breaks the 4-day record of The Unkabogable Praybeyt Benjamin (₱109 million) with a record of ₱110 million. After 4 weeks of showing, the film grossed P 237 million and became the third highest-grossing Filipino film of all time and highest-grossing MMFF film of all time.

Reception

The film was graded "B" by the Cinema Evaluation Board of the Philippines.[9]

Antonio 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.[10]

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.[11]

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".[12]

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 in 1994 and Biyudo si Daddy, Biyuda si Mommy in 1997.
  • 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.
