haven't seen it..do u have a synopsis..i haven't watch a filipino since two years ago...
i like this pair up--hehehe i loved kay tagal kang hinintay..
i loved them in now that i have you..when i went on vacation in PI-i went to go see that movie--hehehe i was a bit excited coz they didn't really show filipino movies in US theatres till now--so i was happy to watch the movie in the big screen..

i am angry of myself because i can�t move forward unless i hide my feelings
i just realized that when i meet you i can�t just close and throw my heart away

it's okay - okay for me. the only thing that made this a big one is because sam milby was in it.

yet i really liked the way they showed a real closure for a relationship.

anyway, i haven't seen this yet. i'm not too much into filipino peliculas, and i don't like JLC much either, but if i get my hands on it, i might watch.

^ Ooh what is it about?

Sorry I left the Phils around a year ago, so it's surprising that I even know who Sam Milby is.

sam milby is not a good actor lol..he pretty much plays himself in the movie hehe ....the chemistry between Lloydie and bea is amazing. even sam's broken taglish can't stop this movie from being so good

and Iridescence u should watch the whole movie. you'll enjoy it. and if u don't, that means u hate life hehe

this is the first Bea-JLC movie that i TRULY enjoyed. it was much better than i expected for a "Close Up" flick. i was expecting blatant product placement *coughs: My First Romance* but wow ... i was impressed.

very typical story ... very predictable but Bea and JLC made it worthy to watch and i didn't feel ripped off from buying the DVD (i still want my money back for Don't Give Up on Us ... papa piolo i'm sorry. the movie sucked.)

JLC was adorable as Manuel. i kept on seeing a young Aga Mulach in him (but Aga's cuter). iit was funny how he'd sarcastically look at Sam (the first time he saw him in the plane) and how he'd whine to Marian (Bea), etc.

Sam did much better than I expected. i thought he'll be just another Troy Montero = all ttwang, noemotions. he did okay for a newbie.

i liked how Bea portrayed Marian. this was her best non-dramatic portrayal so far.

i enjoyed the movie.

i think it's the best movie bea and john lloyd had together.

i liked the dialogues as well - it was natural. like how regular people in Pinas would talk to their friends.

sam did better than i expected. i was expecting another troy montero ... but he did okay for a newbie.

stop lying. i respect sam for going to the philippines without knowing any tagalog lol..but i think he could have done better especially since he was gunna be in a real film! lol..i don't think his tagalog is improving.
but as bad as his tagalog was, his acting was 10x worse.

thanks for quoting me.

well i only liked sam here. that's it. i haven't really paid attention to him in the other shows so i'm only judging his performance in the movie.

i thought it was okay. in my opinion ONLY.

he's a good singer but not that great...his range is actually quite limited...i think what makes him really popular is his looks...
