Plot
editEnteng Kabisote has been living comfortably even without his other companions: his daughter Aiza, who is living in province ; his wife Faye still in Engkantasya; and Amy and her husband gone. But he is torn between his son Benok and his pampered grandson, Benokis. He argues with Benok over who is right to raise his own son and goes on vacation in Bohol, meeting a member of "Abangers" who has the power of iron. He approaches a hotel attendant Georgia and Nicomaine and thinks the tour guide Richard is a handsome man, but disappointed, he continues the tour.
Three old triplets run a factory until the workers go into a strike and are exiled as punishment.
Kwak Kwak is one of those so-called OEWs that is banished by the leaders, hatches a plan to eliminate the Abangers and eventually Enteng so that his vengeance will be complete. He has sidekicks with duckfaces and other of his minions who are also exiled Encantados.
Enteng was given a powered suit by the Abangers when they meet, but Kwak Kwak and his minions attacks and captures him and the group. They are put in stasis when Enteng pleads with the scientist to renege. The group later faces and defeats Kwak Kwak and his minions.
The closing scenes depict what happened to the Abangers: one has owned a gym, another became a comedy bar owner; another built a fortune teller shop in Makati that caters to the elite; the three Lolas became Eat Bulaga!'s characters (a nod from Kalyeserye's Explorer sisters); and the tour guide built his own shop. Enteng reunites with his family while talking to somebody on his phone.

Production
editDevelopment
editOn August 10, 2016, a story conference was held announcing the return of Enteng Kabisote in the silver screen. The film was meant to be an entry in the 2016 Metro Manila Film Festival. Marlon N. Rivera and Tony Y. Reyes directed the film while Orly Ilacad served as co–producer.[2][9] In the conference, Sotto revealed that he had second thoughts on joining the 44th annual Metro Manila Film Festival after changes were made for the selection of the competing entries[3][10] and several cast members were revealed.[5][6]
Enteng Kabisote 10 and the Abangers is the tenth installment in the Okay Ka, Fairy Ko!/Enteng Kabisote film franchise after two Okay Ka, Fairy Ko! films, four Enteng Kabisote films and three spin-off/crossover movies. According to Sotto, Enteng Kabisote 10 and the Abangers will have a different story and better special effects than the previous Enteng Kabisote films. He also stated that the story and characters in the film will be more "millennial".[10]
Filming
editPrincipal photography for the film commenced on August 9, 2016.[2]
Release
editCritical reception
editThe film was poorly received by critics. Writing for CNN Philippines, critic Aldrin Calimlim comments that the film "seems resigned to reusing Internet memes well past their sell-by date and recycling old jokes," and adding that it's "[M]ore buggy than funny."[11] Oggs Cruz of Rappler said, "[T]he movie never picks up. It doesn’t get remotely exciting. Everything remains inane and pointless. Simply put, Enteng Kabisote 10 and the Abangers is old, more of the same – and the franchise deserves to be put to rest."[12]
Box Office
editThe movie was shown on November 30, 2016, together with Star Cinema's The Super Parental Guardians. With 257 cinemas, the movie earned ₱15 million on its first day. The movie earned a disappointing ₱70 million despite that it was shown from November 30, 2016, to January 3, 2017.[citation needed]
