Vivamax: Mini-Reviews of DADDYSITTER, PACKAGE DEAL, BACKRIDER

August 18, 2024

DADDYSITTER

Director: Christian Paolo Lat

Head Writer: Maya Diaz

Writer: Philip Doria

Nursing student Mara (Apple Dy) needed money badly for the tuition of her brother Ethan (Tom Samonte), but she could not get a job as a children's nanny. Her best friend Isabelle (Mia Cruz) convinced Mara to try out her line of work as a "daddy-sitter" and gave her the number of a client -- Ryan (Emil Sandoval), a brain tumor patient. While Ryan proved to be generous and a gentleman with Mara, his son Joseph (Armani Hector) was bad news. 

This is another Vivamax film catering to its older audience demographic. We are introduced to a job called "daddy-sitting," servicing the "needs" of an ailing, older-aged client, health-wise and otherwise. That scene of Isabelle servicing frail wheezy grandpa Mike (Gil delos Reyes) must be one of the most un-sexy sex scenes ever on Vivamax, but it was intentionally funny. However, calling Ryan (age 44) as "old" can hit a sensitive nerve. 4/10. 


PACKAGE DEAL

Director: Carby Salvador

Head Writer: Maya Diaz

Writer: La Dhera

Manet (Angelica Hart) inherited her late husband's courier business called Pack U2. Not long after, Manet had an affair with her employee Ron (Mark Anthony Fernandez), and soon they got married. One day, Elissa (Mariane Saint) turned up at Manet's gate, and introduced herself to be Ron’s daughter, who was now pregnant. Despite the advice of her friend JC (Yuki Sakamoto), Manet still allowed Elissa to stay in their house. 

Mark Anthony Fernandez's notorious reputation negatively preceded him here, as there was absolutely no surprise anymore that his Ron was up to no good. Manet was supposed to be a smart businesswoman, but the way Angelica Hart was playing her, Manet ended up looking like a big fool. Mariane Saint's Elissa was already giving such a bad performance for her ploy, yet Hart's Manet still believed her, and was even seduced by her.  2/10. 


BACKRIDER

Director: Bobby Bonifacio Jr.

Head Writer: Maya Diaz

Writer: Jai Shane Canete

Faith (Jenn Rosa) worked as a home service masseuse, who would give extra service for an additional fee. Her boyfriend Raymond (Aerol Carmelo) was spending more on gamer gear than earning from online games. One night, Faith serviced a rich, handsome businessman Dave (Chad Alviar), who seemed different from her other customers. When Faith discovered thta Raymond lost their savings on a cryptocurrency scam, Dave welcomed her in.  

Director Bonifacio knew Rosa and Alviar were attractive and photographed very well onscreen, and he knew how to compose good sex scenes featuring them in Dave's stylish house. More time could have been spent telling that story better, instead of wasting worthless minutes seeing Faith stupidly returning to worthless scum Raymond, or seeing Raymond inexplicably choosing homely slut Nona Marie (Jonica Lazo) over Faith. 4/10.
