Boy Pick-Up - The Movie is a comedy film that premiered in 2012 with Ogie Alcasid and Solenn Heussaff as its main characters. The movie is a spin-off of a popular character from a Filipino sketch comedy show entitled Bubble Gang. The film follows the story of Boy Pick-Up, a hopeless romantic whose antics serve as comedic relief for those around him. The movie takes place in the backdrop of fun-fairs, nightclubs, and everywhere else where Boy tries to win the affections of a beautiful local girl whose heart is seemingly impossible to conquer.

The main protagonist, Boy Pick-Up, is played by Ogie Alcasid. Boy is a notorious playboy who wears a unique outfit of tight spandex pants, a neon colored vest, and cap, and rollerblades; the signature attire of his persona. He is a firm believer in the art of pick-up lines and spends most of his time trying to woo the object of his affection, Anna, who is played by the gorgeous Solenn Heussaff. Anna appears to be uninterested in his advances and has a dry wit that she uses to rebuff Boy's advances. However, her seeming indifference is only the beginning of the story.

The movie opens with a hilarious scene that sets the tone for the rest of the film. Boy is manning a ride at a local carnival, where he attempts to flirt with a woman in line, with no success. He uses the most creative and bizarre pick-up lines, only to be rejected time and time again. His persistence in the face of rejection adds to the film's comedic value.

As the story progresses, the audience becomes privy to Boy's background and why he refuses to give up on love. In a flashback scene, we learn that Boy watched as his father abandoned him and his mother, leaving a profound impact on the young boy, who has become determined not to repeat his father's mistake. He views himself as being someone who can win over any woman, regardless of how difficult they may seem, and in doing so, he hopes to prove himself worthy of love and respect.

Despite his prowess, Boy's advances towards Anna are unsuccessful. Anna, on the other hand, seems to be attracted to a man who doesn't reciprocate her feelings. This leads to a host of misunderstandings and hilarious moments, making for non-stop entertainment throughout the film.

Aside from the romantic element, Boy Pick-Up - The Movie also features an array of side-stories that add to the movie's overall charm. The film is packed with unique and interesting characters, including Boy's circle of friends, all with their quirks and personalities. They all present themselves as lovable oddballs who add to the movie's whimsy.

One of the most standout aspects of the movie is the enduring positivity of the protagonist, Boy Pick-Up. Despite his failures in love and lack of success in impressing his intended target, Boy remains an optimist, always looking for ways to improve himself and achieve his goals. His character arc is one that is both inspirational and comedic, and Ogie Alcasid's portrayal of the character is nothing short of fantastic. Solenn Heussaff, on the other hand, delivers an equally impressive performance, showcasing her versatility as an actress.

Overall, Boy Pick-Up - The Movie is a refreshing and funny take on the romantic-comedy genre. It's a movie that's both entertaining and endearing, packed with hilarious moments, quirky characters, and a heartwarming message. The film's light-hearted tone and positive message make it an enjoyable watch, one that is well worth your time.
