Keka is about a girl (named Keka) who vows revenge upon the frat boys who killed her boyfriend and got away with it.

Keka hatches a plan to kill one by one the frat boys who murdered her boyfriend. Complications arise when the detective who investigates the murders falls in love with Keka, and vice versa.

This is a black comedy, really well done. I was surprised as Filipino movies are not typically in this style. The movie was witty, it does not take itself too seriously, as evidenced by the spontaneous song and dance routines that crop up in the movie.

I like that Keka (the heroine) was unapologetic about who she was and her choices throughout the movie. She is a strong protagonist with consistent characterization. Vhong Navarro is so hilarious he doesn't need to speak. His facial expressions and mannerisms are enough to make me giggle.

The ending is especially satisfying because it doesn't pander to the typical Hollywood style.
