Interesting facts

  • Based on: Home Along Da Riles

Home Along Da Riles 2 is a 1997 Philippine comedy film directed by Efren "Login" Jarlego and produced by Star Cinema. It is a sequel to the 1993 film Home Along Da Riles Da Movie based on the ABS-CBN television sitcom Home Along Da Riles, starring Dolphy as Kevin Cosme, a widower and a father of five who is now financially capable of renovating his home near the tracks when a life-changing inheritance from his late uncle came, allowing the Cosme family to live large in their newly acquired estate. Released on 28 May 1997, the film was written by Roy Vera Cruz and Loida Viriña.

Production

Unlike the first film adaptation, which was directed by Johnny Manahan, Home Along da Riles 2 was directed by Efren Jarlego. The film was produced by Star Cinema during the peak popularity of the Home Along Da Riles television series on ABS-CBN.

The production retained much of the sitcom's principal cast, including Dolphy, Nova Villa, Claudine Barretto, Smokey Manaloto, Vandolph, and Gio Alvarez. The sequel also featured actor Rico Yan, who was then emerging as one of ABS-CBN's young film and television stars.

The film expanded the sitcom's scale by moving the story outside the familiar railroad community setting and introducing estate and environmental-conflict storylines. Production design emphasized the contrast between the Cosme family's former working-class neighborhood and their temporary affluent lifestyle.
