Just yesterday, wanting to have the fastest escape despite the drizzling weather, my Lola Helen, Derick the BF and I went out to watch this movie and…
KAPOOSH! MAJOR FAIL!
Who would dare do a debut movie without
waxing upper lip hair? I know I’m good at exaggerations but what can I say? It’s
very excruciating to watch that moment when they first met, he looked at her, she
turned to face him and BAM!—Bigote? I gasped my heart out!
What’s more painful to watch is
the “artist” look of Coco with the long hair on the side and the unshaved
Bigotes' on his face, they are everywhere! Looks like they are intentionally pairing
Bigote to Bigote in this movie, or at least, the silly impression it gave me?
But come on Star Cinema, the budget could have at least included styling and
scrubbing (?) of Angeline to make her pleasing to watch as painless as humanly possible.
And what’s with the “s” sound of Coco Martin? It’s bothersome.
I was expecting a comedy-musical
movie simply because that’s what Angeline is about and I liked the idea of
pairing her with this enigmatic, reliable Coco Martin. BUT what I saw was a
messy story plot of a little-bit-of-everything! This excessively melodramatic
movie coupled with slow-phased talk of Angeline PLUS the stilted dialogue
multiplied by the overly musical scoring put me to sleep. Why do movies
nowadays revolve around one big messy mushy theme song, a singer-turned-actress
matched with a matinee idol in a semi-comedy, semi-drama story? It’s becoming
more and more predictable.
But don’t get me wrong, I like
Angeline Quinto and Coco Martin, this explains why I chose this movie over Snow
White and the Huntsman. It’s just so disappointing that these two great
personalities have to undergo a very catastrophic project. Angeline, I admire
her, she seems to be very resilient despite the challenges she have encountered
in her life. There’s the mother who have her adopted, several failed attempts
in singing contests on TV and multitude of critics. Above all these, she still
manages to smile and do her thing. Her singing prowess is divine. We all know
she can belter her way to success. I feel that she has a talent for acting too,
given the right training, right time, and right project.
Anyhow, if not for the love of my
Granny and the sweet company of Derick, I would have left the Movie Theater
albeit the 95php entrance fee (HAHA).
Like I said, I might have
exaggerated things but as far as personal view is concerned, this is what I
have in store.
