About This Movie

So, 'Try Hard Too: Born on the 3rd of July' is quite the curious piece from 1989. Redford White leads this Filipino comedy, and it manages to blend action with humor in a way that's both chaotic and oddly charming. The pacing can feel a bit frenetic—like they’re cramming in as much as possible, which definitely gives it a unique rhythm. The practical effects, while not always top-notch, add a certain flair that feels very much of its time. You can tell the filmmakers were experimenting with the genre, and there’s a kind of earnestness in the performances that stands out. It's definitely not mainstream, but that’s part of its charm, right? It has a distinct flavor that might just resonate if you're into those quirky deep cuts.
