“For Y'ur Height Only” (I have no idea why they decided to spell it like that) is a parody of the “James Bond”. However, instead of getting the suave British secret agent, our spy is a Filipino dwarf that does martial arts. If you have seen the “Austin Powers” movies or the Peter Sellers version of “Casino Royale”, you may think that you have seen spy films at the most absurd but I can assure you that they can compete with the lunacy of “For Y'ur Height Only”.

Weng Weng (“D’Wild Wild Weng”) stars as Agent 00, a fearless and talented spy that must do battle with Mr. Giant. The villain wants to steal some form of new bomb in order to take control of the world but that’s about it in terms of plot. This is really just an excuse for a series of hilarious yet surreal scenes with Agent 00 fighting the bad guys.

At 2’9”, Weng Weng is considered to be the shortest man to ever get the main role in an action film. It’s pretty darn funny watching him slide along the floor shooting at goons. Sometimes he does martial arts and in one scene, he gets on a jetpack. My favourite scene though has to be the one where he uses an umbrella to safely descend down the side of a building like Mary Poppins. The villains are fairly forgettable and so all the other character.

“For Y'ur Height Only” definitely put a smile on my face but there is no denying that it is a bad film. The characters are dull and the plot is virtually non-existent. This is my first exposure to Filipino cinema and I can safely say that it has made an impression but I cannot recommend this to the average moviegoer. This is a film only for people that have too much time on their hands.
