Frugal Game
Diana and Wai have become overburdened with debt, and in a scheme to make some quick cash, they put together a fake "family" to go on a reality TV show. Their family is pitted against another one, and they must compete to see who can live off the smallest amount of money. But as the game approaches the end, the show's producer forces the director to make a few changes to boost ratings, which may inadvertently expose Diana and Wai for the frauds they are.

The film constructs a comedic satire on consumerism and reality TV manipulation, relying on the absurd premise and exaggerated scenarios for its humor.
What lingers after the laughter is a surprisingly warm-hearted core about the meaning of real family, proving that the cheapest things in life can be the most valuable. — MovieFinder Editorial
