Mga palpak na handyman dito ang TVJ (Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon); mga jack of all trades na laging available pero mga masters of none na nga, masters of disasters pa kaya lagi silang narereklamo at namumuro na kay Kapitana, hilariously played by the late great Chichay.

Ang 1985 TVJ (Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon) movie na Working Boys, which was one of the nearly three dozen movies na na-pull off ng hit trio noong Dekada Otsenta, was obviously a spin-off at parody ng Ishmael Bernal classic na Working Girls that came out the year prior.

Mga palpak na handymen dito ang TVJ, mga jacks of all trades na laging available pero mga masters of none na nga, masters of disasters pa kaya lagi silang narereklamo at namumuro na kay Kapitana, hilariously played by the late great Chichay.

At kung nakakabilib ang casting ng Working Girls—Hilda Koronel, Rio Locsin, Chanda Romero, Carmi Martin, Maria Isabel Lopez, Baby Delgado, at Gina Pareño—hindi rin naman nagpatalo ang Working Boys dahil lahat ng magagaling na komedyante at kontrabida ng panahon na yon ay nag-lend ng support sa riot na pelikulang ito.

Isang sulyap palang sa gaya nina Ben David, Palito, Jimmy Santos, Larry Silva, Max Alvarado, Paquito Diaz, Ruel Vernal, Bomber Moran, Matimtiman Cruz, Evelyn Vargas, Malou de Guzman, Balot, Paeng Giant, at marami pang iba, mapapa-major major throwback ka na.

Nag-guest din ang ilan sa mga cast ng Working Girls gaya nina Carmi Martin, Rio Locsin, at Ms. Gina Pareño. Tapos, may Dindo Fernando pa, who is said to be the John Lloyd of that era.

Isinali din dito ang mga female cast ng Mario J. delos Reyes classic na Bagets—sina Yayo Aguila, Eula Valdes, at Cheska Iñigo—para pag-agawan si Bistek, Herbert Bautista na hindi nagpahuli sa pagka-patpatin ng TVJ at that time.

If only to see how they all looked and how they do comedy at that time, worth it nang panoorin ang smorgasbord comedy movie na ’to directed by TVJ’s suki director, Mike Relon Makiling.
