Never trust reviews

I went to see "In Search of a Midnight Kiss" after I read some reviews online to see what it was about. The reviews were diminishing this film and giving the impression this film was not really worth to be seen. I took the challenge and said I wanted to see it and have my own opinion. Well, "In Search of a Midnight Kiss" turns out to be an introspective journey that makes you ask yourself why so many times you look for love but you only find somebody who's going to play with your feeling, and then trash them. But still, if you want to live and not vegetate, you keep playing the field to find your match to get together and have a little piece of happiness.
