I have already read this story on Wattpad before its film adaptation. I never like reading Tagalog stories for some reasons, but this is definitely one of those stories that I liked to read again and again. This story has its own colloquial humor and series of twists and surprises that makes reader crave for more.
Every time I watch this trailer I still get the "kilig"
feeling. Nadine Lustre as 'Aya' and James Reid as 'Cross' look cute
together. However, their acting needs a lot of improvement, but both Nadine and
James are so charming. I loved Nadine's qwerkiness in the movie and James did
an effortless job in playing the bad boy role.
I personally think that the book is great, but to
be honest the movie is quite disappointing. It seems like the movie was rushed,
a lot of scenes which I was expecting to see in the movie were cut and changed
as well. I think this is one of those reasons why it’s a big 'NO' to watch
something you've read, but that's just my opinion.
The actors were great but the execution was abysmal and dull. There's
just little connection and no build up among the characters. The conflict
presented in the movie was easy to resolve and the cause of the problems were
very shallow. However I kind of understand why it turned into this. It's pretty obvious
that the target market was the readers itself and I think most of the readers have little expectations towards the movie.
I think the moral value presented in the movie is
'Even if you're alone and you feel like no one will ever like you, don't lose
hope, because there's always someone waiting out there for you.' We also
have to accept ourselves no matter what we look like, because the true beauty
is in the inside and not our outer appearance. Overall, the movie is tolerable and I still think it's a cute, sweet and innocent movie that is worth watching.
