The Reunion Film Trailer Review

A group of relatively good-looking teenage male television icons on a journey of self-discovery. Well besides this "VERY RARE" film plot and the "hottest" male teenage celebrities, the movie does offer something more in the form of entertainment through nostalgia. For those who grew up with the Erasherheads and similarly popular original Filipino music and are obviously young at hearts, then you might consider this.

The Reunion 2012 Star Cinema Comedy Enchong Dee, Enrique Gil , Kean Cipriano, and Xian Lim with Alodia Gosiengfiao


The Reunion feels very familiar and not because of the nostalgic music it dares to adapt, but because Philippine cinema has gone this route before. This is one of those teen-oriented flick in the leagues of T.G.I.S., Gimik or films that feature all of its "ensemble" cast to bring this unexplained emotions to its young (usually female) viewers. A teenybopper flick for a newer generation. This time the selling point is that the film features (and let me quote ABS-CBN) "most young promising actors of the generation", mainly Enchong Dee, Enrique Gil , Kean Cipriano, and Xian Lim. Well, there are some parts in this trailer that put a grin in my face. Well that has to mean something but generally all I can say that it is not something worth recommending or even spending money.with This is what the teenage (teenage at heart) market wanted/demanded, and Star Cinema and Viva Films are more than willing to obliged. Here is another film JUST FOR THEM.
