American Adobo is a 2002 comedy, romance-drama film produced by Kevin J. Foxe, the executive producer of the phenomenal blockbuster hit The Blair Witch Project. The film tells the story of five Filipino-American friends living in New York City dealing with love, sex, friendship, careers, and cultural identity. Directed by veteran Filipino film director/actress Laurice Guillen. The title was derived from adobo, a very popular dish in the Philippines.

Synopsis

Tere Sanchez (Cherry Pie Picache) is an accountant who is in her early forties, single, and not especially happy about it. Tere is an excellent cook, and often throws dinner parties for her friends, and the arrival of her old friend Lorna (Sol Oca) from Manila is all the reason she needs to invite her friends over for a feast. Mike (Christopher De Leon) is a former political journalist who is now enjoying the fruits of a lucrative career as a newspaper editor, but he wonders if he left his principles behind along the way; he's also feeling unfulfilled in his marriage to Gigi (Susan Valdez-LeGoff). Gerry (Ricky Davao) is an advertising copywriter who is afraid to tell his friends and family that he's gay, though circumstances may well drive him out of the closet. Raul (Paolo Montalban) is a good-looking womaniser who prefers to date Caucasians, and lacks a certain amount of emotional maturity. And Marissa (Dina Bonnevie) is on the surface a well-to-do social butterfly; however, deep inside she's woefully insecure, and is afraid to confront her boyfriend Sam (Randy Becker) about his constant infidelity. Meanwhile, Lorna confesses that while she's married to a wealthy man in Manila, she's terribly unhappy, and is considering staying in America as an illegal alien.

Selling religious charms as a way of meeting men, Malen falls for Mike (Jericho Rosales), a gigolo and hustler. Mike hustles both for his own survival and that of his son, but also because "he knows essentially he's just strong enough and unscrupulous enough" to do so. After her mother takes umbrage at Malen's assumed promiscuity, she moves out of Chayong's house and stays with Mike. When her mother then dies of a heart attack, Malen feels guilt and becomes an intercessor despite having previously sworn the profession off.

Joey comes home after nearly a decade of living in the States. With Joey back, the four friends find themselves complete again—they reminisce on the good old times, marvel at the changes in each other’s lives. Indeed, a lot of things may have changed through the years, but some things remain constant. The ever-effervescent Kathy gives up on her girlhood dream of becoming a singer—something which her sparklingly vivacious teenage daughter, Bernadette, seems to have inherited. Sylvia brings up her son Bobby (Marvin Agustin) in ways that are more liberal, than most, ironically recoils at her grown son’s only flaw: his infertility. Maritess, a widow, contends with the complexities of being a mother to independent, self-asserting young adults: Guia, who chooses to remain single despite her pregnancy; Bryan, who’s gay and proud of it; and Levi, whose floater’s ways hint at a yearning for something beyond what his present life can offer. Joey’s stay in the States changes her a great deal; the untamed child of twenty years ago has matured into a woman who has come to embrace humanity and life. But pain and death may be realities that Joey has yet to learn to accept---because of her mother Maggie, who is fighting a losing battle with cancer, and the main reason why she has come home. Bernadette persistently courts Bryan despite his openly gay orientation, only to have her heart broken by the futility of her feelings Guia staunchly refuses to get back together with the father of her child in her desire to assert her self-sufficiency, but later realizes that needing people is not necessarily a sign of weakness. Bobby and wife Miriam are torn between religion and science as they try to find a solution to their childlessness, while Levi finds love in the personification of Joey—the woman who loves the father he never got to know. As the four women try to reconcile past with present to cope with the changing times, the children come to terms with themselves, with the people they love, and with life on the whole.
