To Love Some Buddy Film Trailer Review


What can be said about To Love Some Buddy (2019) official movie trailers? Well, it is not a revolutionary film when it comes to the romantic comedy genre but its strength comes from the chemistry of its lead, Zanjoe Marudo and Maja Salvador; well at least that is how I perceive it in my end. Have seen a number of Filipino romantic films that doesn't really work and from what we can see in To Love Some Buddy, that isn't the case. So we have good chemistry, how about the story?




The concept of (best) friends falling in love and eventually becoming a couple isn't exactly new, but hey what variety can we get from the romantic comedy genre. Sometimes all it needs is to go back to the basics. To whether this film will involve a third party can only be known once we actually see it when it hits Philippine theaters this October 31, 2018, from what we can see from the two trailers release, it feels more organic. Organic in a sense, that what the film's potential conflict is something that almost every real life couples face, being too comfortable with each other and lack of growth and support. While the first trailer showcase the bubbly and feel good aspect (the comedy) of the film, things take a sudden (but expected) turn on the second trailer showing what happens next after the two good best friends try out being a couple; of what comes after the honeymoon phase? What should every couple need in order to work. The story's "relatability" to the everyday Filipino couple and the leads' "chemistry" (can't emphasize this enough) are the two main things working for this film.


How about you guys? What do you think about this film about best friends becoming a couple being showing their struggles growing as a couple?

You're Still The One
Plot / Synopsis

"You're Still The One" is directed by Chris Martinez starring Dennis Trillo and Maja Salvador, with Ellen Adarna and the special participation of Richard Yap.


Their love was strong but the timing was wrong. Another chance. Another moment. Are they meant to be or still meant to be apart? Can they run after the love that passed them by? To whom can they say, You're Still the One?

You're Still The One Film Trailer Review


So what is there to say about Regal and Star Cinema's You're Still the One? The film's premise is as average as one can think of even in Filipino romantic film standards. The film is basically another "second chance" or "missed opportunity" kind of of romantic film. So we have two scenario set-up again, one taking place from a not so distant past (I say college or late high school) and the current (film) time where all the drama takes place.


The trailer itself generally sums up on what is there to see on the film. That Dennis' character has still not completely gotten over his first love who is Maja's character. To someone who has this pessimistic (we can say immature) view on relationships and romantic love even if the reality is that she has already fallen for the guy but just don't want to explore this alien (to her) thought. Then fast-forward to the current time, the woman has finally decided she'll give love a try and contacts the guy who seems to want to initially play "hook up" but eventually reveals that he is about to marry (Ellen Adarna). Then someone falls for Maja and becomes this knight in shining armor (Richard Yap) which completes the love love triangle. The only question now is how will this cliche story conclude. Is that more than enough reason to go see this film?


How about you guys? What do you think about this 2015 romantic film from Star Cinema and Regal Entertainment? Are you a big fan of Dennis Trillo or Maja Salavador? Do you think they have good chemistry in this trailer or the film in general? Do you think the mystery as to whom will end up with who is more than enough to go see this film?
