Everything About Her Film Trailer Review
What can be said about the Everything about HHer official movie trailer? I can say that this film feels familiar but I just can't pinpoint how exactly? Maybe it is with the familiarity to Vilma Santos or Angel Locsin; or maybe a cancer patient suddenly turning a new leaf after knowing that she has only a few weeks to live. It is probably the latter. Vilma Santos tries to pull off an over-the-top over-privilege high-society career woman but, it rather than be taken seriously it seems like she is like a caricature of the real thing; a cartoon baddie that is aching to be reform by our super heroine, Darna... I mean Angel. Now that I mentioned it, both these actress have played the role of Darna in some point of their careers: Vilma Santos played Darna in film reiteration of Mars Ravelo's character with Darna and the Giants (1973), Lipad Darna Lipad (1973), Darna Vs. the Planetwoman (1975), and Darna at Ding (1980); while Angel Locsin played the titular role in the GMA Network's 2005 'fantaserye', Darna.
Going back, the familiarity of the premise of someone who is initially vile at first but eventually change in the course of the film has been done in most films; it's called character development. Obviously there is no other route for Vilma but to soften up her comical villainy and you have a similarly comical nurse for that in the form of Angel Locsin who falls in love with the neglected son of Vilma. This is where the next familiar trope comes the condescending monster in-law like theme which eventually warms up to the daughter in law through a series of events that would bring them closer and in this film, it is the indefinite fatality of Vilma. One can already give two possible outcomes for this, the miraculous good ending or not. Still Angel and xian would end up together. I could be wrong, but this is just a 'wild' guess. But it could very well be something worthwhile especially as you have a top-billed actress (Vilma Santos) playing an unconventional role. That is probably worth seeing.
How about you guys? What do you think of this comical version of a bitchy CEO of a neglectful mother played by Vilma Santos? This film has been out in theaters, have you already seen the film? what are your general reviews about it?
