Your Place or Mine? Film Trailer Review
Viva Films has outdone themselves again with this trailer for their Wattpad adapted romantic film. Don't you just "love" it when a trailer leaves little to the imagination? Guess they are marketing this to the Wattpad fans who already knew the ending of the film because the trailer "never" hinted it.
What is there to say about Your Place or Mine? official movie trailer? From the trailer alone we can say that there is a lot punching and slapping, arranged marriages which still somehow works in this politically correct society (probably explained why she needed to wed the person), a "friendzoned" guy who becomes somewhat a threat and may becomes a third party to the initial pair, and some PG-13 love scenes. Guess this is the source of the "kilig factor" of the Wattpad novel and its film adaptation to its teenage (at heart) targeted demographic. Interesting as of the time bing local television channel TV5 has a romance television show featuring Wattpad stories with "Wattpad Presents". Guess "You're Place or Mine?"'s adult theme (of one night stand) and this being a best-selling novel is not covered by the usually tween-friendly television programming of the local networks.
Times are truly changing as romantic films (and films in general) have now become more and more gutsy with their presentation and themes. More skin and more love scenes is the future of movies as if that indicates that film studios (and writers) are taking their audience seriously and treating them like mature and rational individuals. There is nothing wrong with it as it gives creators more space to add more twist to recycled movie story and themes. It somehow deviate from the rich guy-poor girl or vice versa theme. Unfortunately Viva Films lack or marketing with the titles they produce (unlike that of Star Cinema) and the film's sexy imagery can somehow affect the sales of this film. We'll see how this film will perform. Will it be a sleeper hit or simply another mediocre romantic film left to obscurity?
