The Love Affair Film Trailer Review
So what is there to say about The Love Affair uncut trailer? Well besides some additional swear words that didn't made the local "family-friendly" television trailer, The Love Affair trailer is your basic drama film that once again deals with infidelity. This time it deals with the wife (Dawn Zulueta) cheating on her husband (Richard Gomez) who laters find it out and ends up encountering Bea Alonzo's character who was supposedly the bride-to-be to another cheater, Tom Rodriguez' character. Both Richard and Bea found solace and romance with each other's company and another movie dedicated to illicit affair ensues.
Now that we had another illicit affair premise tackled, there is nothing really that this film has to offer than a change of actors playing the title roles. The chemistry is always good with Richard-Dawn pair-up and Bea is always pretty to look at. Well, it is also probably exciting for fans to see Richard and Dawn back in the big screen again and one could say that it is probably enough for them to plow through the cliche'd and milked-to-exhaustion premise of adultery in Filipino films. Heck, we might even see a Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla with this kind of film ten to twenty years from now and people would still buy that thing. Well, to its credit, the film does make you question if it is justified to correct one wrongdoing with another... well, NO!; There, we finally answered it. So can we now not see the film? :D But seriously speaking, this film would probably bring up talks about divorce, grounds for annulment, morality or justification of committing acts of adultery. Well, I want to think that the film would be smart that way. Well hopefully I can hear that from you guys or someone who'll go see it. Give us a heads up here if ever it became a smart romantic kind of drama flick. Oh and one last thing, I'd call that Richard and Dawn will patch things up in the end. Call it a hunch or I could be wrong. :D
How about you guys? What do you think about this Richard Gomez, Bea Alonzo, and Dawn Zulueta illicit affair Filipino movie? What local film titles that focus on cheating and adultery that you have seen or enjoyed recently?
