Para Sa Hopeless Romantic Film Trailer Review

Para sa Hopeless Romantic uses three tried-and-tested formula for another successful Philippine romantic film: a soundtrack which is "Ikaw" by Yeng Constantino that target its loyal musical demographic, two of the "hottest" young romantic teenage on-screen couples (Nadine Lustre and James Reid x Julia Barretto and Inigo Pascual), and a story like "no other" from one of the more contemporary "best-selling" author (for the teenage-young adult market), Marcelo Santos III.

Star Cinema has been the leading producer of "quality" romantic films (to a fault) throughout the years and Para sa Hopeless Romantic with cooperation of another film producer giant Viva Films is definitely one of them. If something is not broken, why fix it right? As long big corporations produces new artist every millenia, there will always be a film for its younger generation and those who love everything that gives out the "kilig-factor". A variation of the story with different artists just like what Kim Chiu & Gerald Anderson, Regine Velasquez & Ariel Rivera, and even Nora Aunor and Tirso Cruz III did in the past. That their film's stories and pairings will disappear to obscurity only to be placed by another more contemporary version of it which is only (or has become) "normal" by mainstream Philippine movie standards.

If something is not broken, then don't fix it. There is really no sense heavily criticizing romantic films nowadays as it really is made for a a specific demographics. If you have seen the trailer, it really does not show anything new or groundbreaking for its genre, so what is its redeeming factor? Well, it just features Star Cinema's hottest love team, Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla. So wouldn't GO, right? The year would not be complete without another KathNiel team-up and we have Star Cinema to thank for that.

To the movie trailer's credit (and probably the actual film itself), it does feature some awfully gorgeous cinematography or local (Philippine) scenic spots specifically in Capas, Tarlac where the film mostly shoot. It would be better if most of these cliched romantic films somehow incorporate the beauty of scenic Philippine hot spots which will also works well with promoting the country's tourism. Hey, it seems to work well with Koreans television shows and movies, so why not Filipino movies? at least it would actually be praised for actually showing something not seen before, right? During these past few years, I've learned to toned down a bit and maybe that is me maturing up, but it is still there. This movie is mostly targeted to the KathNiel, ABS-CBN, Star Cinema, and romantic movie fans and there is really no need as to why such films has to be made. Most are a sucker for these kinds of films, and it is alright. I just find myself smiling in a (laughing) silly way when Daniel Padilla delivered the line "Parang Ikaw" and Kathryn looked at him in a "really now" kind of expression in the trailer. I don't know if that's "kilig" (LOL) or me just finding it preposterous. The scene was just golden and is craving to be the default image of the Crazy Beautiful You trailer impression.
