A few times a year, Tere (Cherry Pie Picache) makes a terrific traditional Filipino dish called Adobo for her friends Mike (Christopher De Leon), Marissa (Dina Bonnevie), Gerry (Ricky Davao), and Raul (Paolo Montalban). Each time they gather at her house to eat, they talk about some new event that marks a pivotal moment in their lives. Mike wants to reconnect with his roots in the Phillipines. Marissa learns to face her fear of being alone. Gerry has to be honest about his true self. And Raul learns to respect the woman he dates. As each character follows his own journey, a series of funny and sad situations unfold, always bringing the five friends back to Tere`s apartment to eat American Adobo. A cross between THE BIG CHILL and EAT DRINK MAN WOMAN, AMERICAN ADOBO is unique because it explores the issues of a cultural group rarely featured in American films today: Filipinos, and shows how they deal with issues of sexuality, self confidence, and race identity. The popular Filipino director Laurice Guillen presents this catchy contemporary film with executive producer Kevin Foxe (executive producer of THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT).
