I want to give it a higher rating, but...

Warning: Spoilers
I really do want to give it a much higher rating. However, I was hoping there would be a different twist from your typical Filipino romcom formula. The meeting of two people, the getting to know/falling in love, then a wrench is thrown in to turn their budding love upsidedown, and then getting back together in the end...

The chemistry these two have, saved this film from bombing. Just like in their first trio of romcoms together. Their acting isn't canned or forced. They do it so naturally that you will get enamored with the two characters', Raffy and Aprilyn, developement throughout the entire movie.

There were some parts that seemed to have been too drawn out, two in particular. The entire abandoned bride segment, although comical, could've benefitted from scenes being edited out. Second is the ending, where it was just Apriln and Raffy by the fountain, was slightly too long with their back and forth talk and sharing of feelings.

The romcom aspects come more from the supporting actors and not from Aprilyn or Raffy themselves.

This is a decent (almost subpar) movie for the casual moviegoer. But most would agree, that it is disappointing for the fans of AshLloyd.

First foreign film i have ever seen in theatre and it was a winner

The Movie story was well thought out. It had a lot of strong family values, which i have find is common among Philipino's

Some of the movie scenes were corny. You could tell The actress or actor was faking. But at same time. I cant picture almost anyone being able to act a few of the scenes seriously.

But even then, the movie went along smoothly. There is a lot of teenage love jokes. A lot of unexpected jokes to me.

If you compare it to North American films. Story 8 Acting 5-6 Comedy level 6 Background characters actors. 4 But at same time. Main actors acting. 6-7

Expect final Review rating to be 6.5-7

Well worth a watch for a Romantic movie thats a bit different then the Hollywood Formula.

Recommended.

I want to put must see. At same time some of the amateur acting made me cringe. But When i look at the heart of the movie. About the Story Moral and otherwise. I have to put

Must See. Because the movie is definitely worth watching once.

I Have Seen one other foreign film. 200 pound beauty which is a Korean movie not a Philipino movie and that is a 10/10 This movie is a 7-6.5. More then worth the time to have watched it.

And I'm stopping now. I realize i have become long winded. lol

Ang cute. Very natural ang acting, parang totoong inlove

Maybe you are in love with the idea of being in love?

ANG GANDA NI SARAH G!

Dear Future wife, ikaw na ba 'tong nasa harap ko? Pag tumingin ka, oo.

*tumingin* Haha wow!

That is why you have to heal first before loving someone else. You cannot give your pure self if you yourself still have wounds from your past issues. If you resolve it first, then you can now freely show your love to your other significant other. All of our shortcomings and desires came from the household we grew up in. If we grew up not being able to tell our family our feelings, then we will also be like that to someone, and we will always desire that they maintain communication with us. What we always find is the one who is not with us. I hope the soon-to be parents in there will heal first themselves before wanting to build a family. :) A lot of children experience this situation or pain as Rafael.

The scene where Rafael finally opens up about his feelings to his mother is so heartwarming. Truly, having communication with your parents is the best thing in the world. Thus, if I become a parent (which will not happen because I don't want a child, but still, who knows what will happen in the future (I truly hope not)), I will impose a mandatory open-up forum session with the family. Hahaha. Ang gaan gaan sa puso nun mga anteh, sana danas niyo

It's amazing if we all heal right and give the best version of ourselves to someone we love.

Isn't it amazing to be truly yourself when loving someone?

The best thing a woman can realize is her true worth and knowing that she really always deserves the best.
