The Girl in the Orange Dress (2018)
Lots of laughs
All of the negative reviews are overly harsh. Yes there are major plot holes but there are worse Pinoy rom-com movies that I've seen. The true and accurate depiction of Philippine tabloid reporting is quite hilarious.
Made in Italy (2020)
Awful - could not finish
I don't understand all the positive reviews for this movie. The underlying story plot for the son was a poor and rehashed motive. Too many cringe-worthy moments. Liam Neeson needs to stick to what he is known and good at - the action thriller movies. Don't waste your money or time on this one.
All of You (2017)
Slow, awful, disappointing.
This was NOT English Only, Please part two. This movie had so much more potential. For example, Gabby's character needed to show more depth - i.e. what else was she feeling. What was the background of Gab's character ( a major plot hole.) The movie watcher will have to make a lot of assumptions. The soundtrack was awful. No comedic aspects, at. all. Pass on this movie and you will be glad you did. Many more great Filipino romance movies out there, just not this one.
One More Chance (2007)
instant classic
Thought this movie would be very slow but I am glad to give it a chance. You should too. I was quite curious to see this movie before I can watch Second Chance on a popular movie streaming site. The love story seems to be quite common dating scenario in the Philippines. If you are not at least Fil-Am, understand Tagalog and have lived in the Philippines, you may not be able to relate; so ignore some of the negative reviews. I can see why there are memes and quotable lines from this movie. One of Cathy Garcia-Molina's better earlier-in-her-director career movies. There are worse CGM movies out there.
Jo Koy: In His Elements (2020)
Why Jo Koy? highlighted very small part of Pinoy culture
Jo Koy highlighted the hip-hop/rap/ hipster part of Philippines culture, which is not the most popular aspect of Philippine entertainment (i.e. - big blockbuster movies, variety shows, large music concerts.) Wished I had read the reviews before watching this waste of time show. Being a Filipino-American, I cringed at watching parts of this (especially the "comedian" with the weird haircut appearance.)
