Mother of the Bride (2024)
If the word cliche was a movie
Im giving 3 stars only because Sean Teale is such an eye candy, otherwise this movie is terrible... just awful! I mean romcoms are supposed to have cliches but this was just awkward to watch. The bride and groom didnt have chemistry and Miranda cannot act. It's funny cause she's been acting for years you'd think she'd already gotten the hang of it but no 😄 And why does everyone in this movie look baked and dried and wrinkled? This was a predictable romcom with such bad acting I could not find anything romantic or funny about it. Dont waste your time. Can netflix please stop making movies like this?
The Out-Laws (2023)
Adam DeVine is not Funny
Let's get one thing out there first - Adam DeVine is an awful actor! Nothing about him is funny and honestly his acting style is annoying. I think he's trying to be Steve Carrell with that cringe face/face contortion acting and he needs to stop cause Steve does it so well, he on the other hand looks constipated when he does that. Didnt like him then, still dont like him now. I promise to stop giving Adam DeVine any more chances in the future. Please just stop giving him projects, stop wasting money on this guy!
Overall, this movie is TRASH, the plot is lame, the actors are boring, and the acting is just awful. Not even Pierce Brosnan not Ellen Barkin could not save this movie from failing. And what did Nina Dobrev ever do in this movie?
I love the music tho, if not for that I would have given this one star rating. You know those movies that you see on Netflix and you wonder whether you've seen it or not cause Netflix tells you you have but you cant remember the whole story? I wish this movie was like that, except I think I'll remember just how bad this movie is for many years to come.
DONT WASTE YOUR TIME.
An Inconvenient Love (2022)
Cliche
Who writes this kind of s***? I thought Enrico Santos was better than this, I was wrong. Cliche, boring, dragging, a lot of times unrealistic. First chance encounter of the two leads and already a red flag? If a guy asked me to pretend to be his girlfriend while being chased by uniformed authorities I'd smack his face and run away as fast as I can. It's a classic rich guy with a purpose meets poor girl with a dream, both from problematic/dysfunctional families, but falls in love despite having nothing in common. And please stop stealing scenes from other movies. 500 days of Summer is one of my favorite movies, did they think viewers wouldn't notice?
I'm rating this 3 stars because I think the two leads are promising specially Donny Pangilinan and I like Belle. They deserve a better script! This was a waste of Epy, Matet's and Tirso's talents. The gay friend's character entertained me though, probably the only interesting character in the story. That was a big relief.
At the end of the day I blame myself for giving Filipino movies a chance. Enough with this trash. Pinoys deseve better!
The School for Good and Evil (2022)
cringe fest
This was bad. To everyone rating this an 8 or higher - you all have been watching too many bad films to even think this was good. I dont know where to begin. I know the two lead characters were supposed to be special but they were just not. I can list down what i think made this movie cringy that i sometimes found myself physically flinching
- Charlize, Kerrie, and Laurence being in this film. Why?
- Sophie's beach blonde hair and black eyebrows. Seriously? There was no naturally blonde actress to portray this character?
- Sophie's 'transformation' into a vicious villan - The movie tried to make her intimidating but she's so tiny and awkward it was painful to watch her strut her stuff when you can barely see her
- Rafal kissing Sophie. OMG just No. Major cringe.
- Agatha falling for the superficial Tedros because he was good looking. There was zero character development to convince me that she would fall for him.
- The fight scene with the song Toxic in the background. I wanted to tear my ears and eyes off my face
- Nevers turning into Evers and liking it. It didnt make any sense.
- True friendship's kiss ... my a**
This movie was predictable, a cliche, a compete miscast, and totally awful. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.
Tayo sa huling buwan ng taon (2019)
bad casting, total letdown
The storyline was cliche and predicable but i thought well ok let's give this a try because it had that indie film feel to it. unfortunately the two main characters Isa and Sam didnt have any chemistry. they should have casted Alex Medina as Sam because Nicco Manalo seemed so awkwardly intimidated by Emmanuelle Vera. the whole movie was a bore but the first half of the film was extra boring, the only reason i kept watching was because of Vera's beautiful face.
the buildup to the chance encounter of these past lovers was so weak i kept waiting for something more to happen but there was nothing. it didnt help that the writer never gave the viewers a glimpse of Isa and Sam's past relationship which would at least give some justification as to why they were still pining for lost love. instead the viewers were asked to simply accept that Isa and Sam had something great based on dialogues exchanged during a brief confrontation.
i keep giving these kinds of Filipino movies a chance but more often than not, they disappoint. overall it was a total waste of Alex Medina's talent as a great actor. the only silver lining to this movie is that both female actors Vera and Anna Luna are equally stunning.
