My Little Bossings (also known as Torky and My Little Bossings) is a 2013 Filipino family-comedy film directed by Marlon Rivera, starring Vic Sotto, Kris Aquino, Ryzza Mae Dizon, and Bimby Yap. The film is an official entry for the 2013 Metro Manila Film Festival[2][3][4] which was released in theaters nationwide on December 25, 2013, by OctoArts Films, M-Zet Productions, APT Entertainment, and Kris Aquino Productions.[1][5][6][7][8][9]

The film also marks Bimby Yap Jr.'s theatrical debut,[5] and also the last film appearance of comedian Tado Jimenez, who died in a bus accident in Bontoc, Mountain Province on February 7, 2014, at the age of 39.[10]

The film broke box-office records in the Philippines upon its nationwide release in theaters, even holding the highest opening day record of ₱50.5 million. It previously held the title of being the highest-grossing Filipino film of all time until it was broken by Girl, Boy, Bakla, Tomboy.

In spite of negative reviews from critics owing to its extensive use of product placement, a sequel to the film was made, to which Sotto initially hinted in an interview,[11][12] and was released in Christmas 2014 as one of the official entries for the 40th Metro Manila Film Festival.[13]
