Feelennial (2019) Philippine RomCom film featuring Ai-Ai Delas Alas and Bayani Agbayani love team

What can be said about the Feelennial (2019) official movie trailer? Well, it seems like another standard Filipino romantic comedy film usually involving people over their 40s, it just happens to be that this time they choose to go with AiAi Delas Alas and Bayani Agbayani. One recent one that comes to mind is 2015's My Bebe Love: #KiligPaMore, but unlike that one this romantic film solely focuses of the love story of two people over their 40s rather than them being on the sidelines.

Feelennial 2019 Filipino romantic comedy film  starring Ai-Ai Delas Alas and Bayani Agbayani falling in love in the millennial generation


Being the veteran Filipino comedic actors that they are, Ai-Ai and Bayani managed to create these likable characters in the movie. The protagonists, to me at least, have good chemistry. A typical story of a hostile relationship at first, but eventually blossoms into something romantic. This time this plot uses what is hip and cool with the millennial generation (drum rolls)... "social media", thus why it is named Feelennial (feeling millennial).

Luck At First Sight Film Trailer Review

Luck at First Sight 2017 Filipino film featuring Asia King of Drama Jericho Rosales

What can be said about Luck At First Sight (2017) official movie trailer? Well, this kinds of romance stories is a bit refreshing really. Refreshing in a sense that this has more fantasy elements on it versus your usual conveyor belt romantic films produced recently. It is no rich guy fall for the poor girl (or vice versa) or the family of the couple are against the protagonist's union. I think this is one way for film studios to shake things up a bit or at least explore for the romance genre. Quite refreshing that it didn't came from Star Cinema this time, but rather from Viva Films. I always wonder why most of the time there isn't any love given for screenwriters on these kinds of films? We should know who to thank for delivering us with these innovative scripts (or burn if the script sucks). They should be credited as much as the director does along with the actors; or if it is also written by the director at least let us know if it is written and directed by him.

Luck at First Sight 2017 viva films featuring Bela Padilla and Jericho Rosales love team about life charm, good luck, gambling, and falling in love

The fantastical element is highly unlikely to happen in real life. Because how can there really be a charm that raises a person's luck or people pairing up that would boost their luck to a ridiculous level to the point that they are winning any and every bet (gambling). But of course, this is what makes the script and film special; its ridiculous concept. That there is a condition that has to be met in order to maintain this good luck and no surprise that it is the film's major plot point. We all know that love will love will triumph all but the question is how will they lead up to that part? The film seems to also dabble on gambling which is a serious psychological case to some especially once they are addicted to it which by how the trailer shows us happened to at least one of the main characters (Jericho). Jerciho Rosales and Bela Padilla has good chemistry on-screen making it an appealing (to me) as a romantic film. I usually tend to be a bit indifferent (even a grinch) towards these kinds of movies and their respective trailers, but somehow, I actually like how the film is presented via this trailer. Hey, here is a thought! They should have gambled their luck on a lottery at the very beginning, but who knows it might be featured there as well either as their first attempt to test their luck out or the towards the culmination of the film to prove that falling in love doesn't affect their luck; but I am simply guessing how it will unfold... which is good by the way as it indicate that I am particularly interested in the film.

What can be said about My Rebound Girl's official movie trailer? My Rebound Girl is a romantic comedy film that once again tackles the cliched theme of being a "rebound", the only difference this time is that the film features Alex Gonzaga and Joseph Marco as its main lead with a look into the local coffee industry as its backdraft (as seen in its many promotional campaign materials online).

Well, it is what it is. Romantic comedy films is the staple of in mainstream film industry in the Philippines. Another conveyor belt romantic film that is low budget and yet will probably yield a good amount of box office success, a "craft" and "practice" that has almost been perfected by Star Cinema. The only question now is will Regal Films emulate such success by being a more flexible studios that can advertise across various television networks (unlike Star Cinema that heavily and only rely on marketing therir films on a ridiculous level in its home network ABS-CBN)? Is deciding to go with Alex Gonzaga and Joseph Marco will attract the Star Cinema rom-com demographic to check this out?

The Achy Breaky Hearts 2016 love triangle romantic comedy featuring Jodi sta Maria and Richard Yap

What can be said about The Achy Breaky Hearts official movie trailer? The Achy Breaky Hearts official movie trailer looks fun and lighthearted for a love triangle romantic film. Well, it doesn't revolutionize the genre (romcom). It's the same formulaic hopeless romantic who later finds herself in an emotional rollercoaster deciding which among two potential partners should she choose. A tried and tested formula but only with a dash of 'Please Be Careful with My Heart' (2012) and 'Darating and Umaga' (2003); ABS-CBN television soap operas that featured the love team of Jodi Sta. Maria and Richard Yap (Please Be Careful with My Heart) and Jodi sta. Maria and Ian Veneracion (Darating and Umaga).

The Achy Breaky Hearts 2016 love triangle romantic comedy featuring Jodi sta Maria and Ian Veneracion

The Achy Breaky Hearts charm can be attributed to the still lingering effects of the Richard Yap and Jodi Sta. Maria's love team back in the 2012 popular daytime soap opera "Please Be Careful with My Heart." Jodi Sta. Maria's quirkiness and charismatic appeal also comes into focus but of course this is coming from a male's perspective, the ladies may find the two leading men "appealing" which also works for the film. The Achy Breaky Hearts does not revolutionize anything but is just right up your alley if you are into Star Cinema romcoms and wanting to itch that Romcom itch for the month.

A Lotto Like Love 2016 movie trailer impressions CineFilipino Film Festival romcom film trailer review Pinoy Movie Blogger

A Lotto Like Love
Plot / Synopsis

On the far side of being ambitious is Kayela, a go-getter woman whose goal in life is to be rich. She’s the kind of dreamer who has started acting rich even before being one. On the other end of the spectrum is Itot, a handsome and hard-working cab driver who just wants to provide for his disabled mother and teenage brother’s everyday needs. Their worlds had nothing to do with each other until they both cue up in the same lottery line to buy lotto tickets.

Being the people person that she is, Kayela manages to involve Itot in choosing the numbers she’d bet on. She even gets to borrow money from him upon realizing that she does not have enough money to buy a lotto ticket. Itot wants nothing in return but to get rid of this woman who’s slowing down the lotto line.

Everything changes when Itot falls in dire financial need and Kayela wins the lottery. Itot hunts Kayela and demands that she shares her prize with him, to which Kayela eventually agrees. Just when the two are about to claim the prize, 2 hold-uppers attempt to take Kayela’s bag where the winning ticket is kept. Instead of giving the bag to the thieves, Kayela throws it inside a moving bus. The hold-uppers did not pursue her bag anymore. However, it is now Kayela and Itot’s turn to chase it back.

This propels the series of their adventures and mishaps, ultimately leading them to discover their priceless worth to each other.

A Lotto Like Love 2016 CineFilipino Film Festival entry written and directed by Carla Baful starring romantic comedy featuring Martin Escudero and Isabelle de Leon finding love when winning lotto ticket went missing

What can be said about the A Lotto Like Love (2016) official movie trailer? 'A Lotto Like Love' is much closer to home than the rest of the CineFilipino Film Festival entries. It is close in the sense that it is just right along the many romantic comedies that has over-saturated the mainstream Filipino film industry. The premise isn't something new either as it follows the generic two highly unlikely individuals paired together by one common bizarre circumstance that brings them closer together and this time the lotto ticket. It has all the markings of the usual romcom fest found on Star Cinema or GMA Films; it gives off a vibe of a GMA Films romcom which is usually subpar compared to Star Cinema quality romcoms.

A Lotto Like Love 2016 CineFilipino Film Festival entry written and directed by Carla Baful starring romantic comedy featuring Martin Escudero and Isabelle de Leon love team




A Lotto Like Love features some bizarre situations and over-the-top characters which might make you re-evaluate if this is really grounded to reality or fiction. Maybe I am just not the target demographic of the film and more of the young adults and female demographic. A Lotto Like Love has your typical over-the-top over achieving female lead with a seemingly clueless guy but amidst their differences they will find love. This time no diabolical villains like condescending parents to stop them from pursuing love, but there seems to be a love triangle. Maybe it is 'different' from the mainstream romcoms in a sense that it lacks that usual element that challenges the featured pair in these kinds of film, but who knows. If you are looking for something that brngs out the "kilig" factor, then A Lotto Like Love might probably be up your alley. You can check out the A Lotto Like Love official Facebook Page as to see which theaters will screen the film, schedule, and other details.

Always Be My Maybe 2016 Star Cinema romcom Gerald Anderson and Arci Muñoz dating scene

What can be said about the Always Be Maybe (2016) uncensored official movie trailer? Well it generally sums up what will everyone see in the entirety of the film which is an unconventional take on most modern relationships with a pinch of sexiness twinkle over its witty script. It is somewhat interesting to see that slow change is coming in mainstream media in interpreting relationship in films; to mix it up a bit. I am not saying it is revolutionary but this has its charms, although they are dredging through dangerous waters that is also prevalent in the Philippine conservative society. Everyone has an idea of how relationships should "be", but what is odd is that Philippine society listens and even considers most of this. What I am referring to opinion from a part of society consisting of mostly old men who have dedicated to a life of celibacy.

Always Be My Maybe 2016 Star Cinema sexy romantic comedy Gerald Anderson and Arci Muñoz sexy steamy love scene

It is worth noting that this is an uncensored trailer which means that it is too "risky" or "sexy" for Philippine television as it only show barely clothed protagonists. It is not like it is a redband trailer to an R-rated movie so what was the intention here? To make cash in on its adult theme to get the usual conservative society riled up to talk about it? Bad publicity is still publicity right? I am not complaining here, just curious. Always Be My Maybe plays around with how some relationships are nowadays; that amidst how society romanticize relationships, there will always be failed relationships leaving some people broken and mostly afraid of committing into a new one. Throw in a romcom script approved by a film production company that specializes making blockbuster romcoms and you a film that makes a "taboo" subject (to most people living in a conservative dreamland) be relevant and 'worth' talking about. Character dialogue (script) looks fun and having two attractive celebrities help, so why not check it out?

What can be said about the Love is Blind (2016) official movie trailer? Well it feels oddly familiar. This kind of theme has been observed in Shallow Hal (2001) which stars Jack Black, but this time, roles have been switched and this Filipino film focuses more on the woman using the love potion that made the man see her in a particular manner. Love is Blind is probably one of those films that you really have to suspend your disbelief in order to enjoy its silly premise. Well, it is a comedy, so love potions probably work in such realms.

Love is Blind 2016 Regal Films romantic comedy film Derek Ramsay introduce Kiray Celis as girlfriend to male friends

One can already think of how the film would end as it seems to imply that her friend probably fancies her even if she's not that good looking. This film had been out for some time now and have heard that there was some interesting twist in the end. Well if the conventional speculation is that she would end up with her guy friend, then the twist probably is the good looking guy actually like her as she is and is unaffected by the potion. Guess this is the only thing that would interest me to go see it if ever it gets a Philippine television premiere.

What can be said about the Girlfriend For Hire official movie trailer? Well it is a standard fair as how Viva Films produced romantic films is concerned... looks crispy and clear cinematography-wise which the production team on"My Bebe Love" can learn a lot from, some scenes shown in the trailer can be a bit off (attributed to the direction), and a chemistry between the two lead which can be a hit or miss. Well, there should be a good chemistry between Andre and Yassi by now as "Girlfriend For Hire" is the third Viva Films movie that pairs up Andre Paras and Yassi Pressman; with "Diary ng Panget" (2014), and "Wang Fam" (2015) being the first two. That is yet to be seen on their first major romantic movie.
Girlfriend For Hire 2016 romcom film from Viva Films based on Yam-Yam28's Wattpad novel Girlfriend For Hire starring Yassi Pressman to play as Nami Shanaia San Jose and Andre Paras as Bryle Caleb Stanford

Girlfriend For Hire uses the cliched Rich Boy - Poor Girl romance cliche we've seen so many times which is only spiced up by injecting more humor than drama. The Girlfriend For Hire suffers to what most trailers have been notorious from, exposing too much of the film's original premise. It makes it so predictable that leaves little to nothing to the imagination of how will it unfold. Is this the fate of most Wattpad entries or any online literature sharing website being adapted into film? The original Wattpad novel by Yam-Yam28 is popular among its users. The Youtube comments section alone has some "colorful insight" as what most have to say about it. Like any literary piece followers there is a big expectation from the film. The big question is can Viva Film's big screen adaptation of Girlfriend For Hire win the hearts of fans and attract RomCom fans seemingly monopolized by Star Cinema in the same process?

What can be said about the My Bebe Love: #KiligPaMore official movie trailer? Well it is the debut film of the very popular AlDub (or MaineDen) love team from the Kalyeserye segment of the Philippine's longest running noontime variety show Eat Bulaga. That is basically the biggest catch and hype for this 2015 MMFF romantic comedy film; that this is the first movie where fans will see Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza outside of their usual Kalyeserye (Eat Bulaga) character as Alden and Yaya Dub. The My Bebe Love: #KiligPaMore teaser trailer was first released on the Tamang Panahon concert which filled Philippines biggest indoor arena, The Philippine Arena and broke previous trending records in Twitter. Given such facts, one can safely say that My Bebe Love: #KiligPaMore will be an instant blockbuster this 41st Metro Manila Film Festival.

My Bebe Love KiligPaMore 41st MMFF entry 2015 Aldub or MaineDem rom-com debut movie with Vic Sotto  and Ai-Ai de las Alas love team

Now that we have gotten some basic facts out of the way, we now come down to the juicier part, the story. Just humor me. Have you ever encountered a local romantic film that featured two couple so in love with each other but the only problem is their families which is completely against it? Yup, I guess so. Well, there are variation to this cliched theme which could either lead to a good or bad (tragic) ending. Obviously, My Bebe Love: #KiligPaMore is going for the latter with a dead giveaway that Vic Sotto (Maine's father in the film) eventually falling for Ai-Ai de las Alas (Alden's aunt in the film) which will eventually give their approval in the end. One can argue that it is not the destination, but more of the journey itself is what is worth experiencing and this is why this movie will be successful. Eat Bulaga's marketing influence and pair it up with the "kilig" factor brought by the on-screen team-up is what fans will be looking forward to see in this seemingly formulaic film once it hits December 25, 2015. The "look" of the film through this official trailer feels so underwhelming as it is of low-quality or maybe there will be a bump up to the overall picture quality and cinematography once it is on theaters, but for now this looks and shouts low quality and budget. I can compare or equate this film to another 2015 MMFF entry, Haunted Mansion. Haunted Mansion, which by the way has better cinematography from its trailer alone, will also debut another love team (MarNella), but instead of using the romcom genre like My Bebe Love: #KiligPaMore, Haunted Mansion will be using horror. Both have cliched themes with a fresh coat of paint.

The PreNup
Plot / Synopsis

The PreNup 2015 Filipino romcom about warring in-laws, conditions, and prenuptual agreement starring Jennylyn Mercado as the bubbly Wendy and Sam Milby as the rich Sean

Wendy (played by Jennylyn Mercado) met Sean (Sam Milby) in a vacation trip abroad and one thing lead to another; ending with a marriage proposal. Little did they know that the different (financial) worlds on which they both came from will rear its ugly head with a prenuptial agreement.

What is there to say about The PreNup official trailer? Well, Filipino fans of romantic comedy rejoice as you have another dose of it with this Sam Milby and Jennylyn Mercado rom-com movie, The PreNup. The 2015 Filipino romcom The PreNup plays with the idea of a prenuptial agreement and the clash between the bigger-than-life stupendously rich parents from the leading man's side against the middle class bubbly gay parents from the female protagonists'side. There has to be something that will get in between the love story and in this film it seems like the warring in-laws with their condition and prenuptial agreement. Jennylyn plays the stereotypical bubbly and lovable female protagonist which works like a charm with Sam Milby being as his usual very cool masculine stereotype. Besides the romantic banter focus on the leads, it is the in-laws is another thing to watch out for in this romcom. The PreNup official trailer is "alright" in Filipino romcom standards.

RomComs is a big thing here in the Philippines and it shows with blockbuster ticket sales. It is now up to the film studios to help promote their title. I initially caught wind of it when someone shared the teaser for PreNup on Facebook, but lost track of it. The official trailer was officially released online last September 25, 2015, but I only caught wind of it again when I saw the short television trailer of PreNup which plays side-by-side with another (horror) film from Regal, Resureksyon. 19 days after the official trailer was released online then followed by a television trailer being played in a currently trending noontime show is a good marketing in the part of Regal. Regal doesn't own its own network; it is not like Star Cinema (an ABS-CBN) or GMA Films (do they still make films?) that has their own dedicated television networks where they can market their movies like crazy and for no cost whatsoever; that even if you don't like the film, you may very well enjoy every commercial every two seconds of the usually overly cliched film that they have for the month. Well, RomComs in general is an easily marketable Filipino movie genre and with the charming pair-up of Sam Milby and Jennylyn Mercado, The PreNup will probably be another blockbuster success. I wish the marketing team of these movies (or any Filipino movies) will release a short summary of what the film is about either on their official websites, social networking sites, or Youtube trailer releases to at least help create buzz for them or those who do not necessary in partnership with them. I just helped create a short synopsis for them which should be the job of the marketing team. Just saying. Well this is nothing new as either film studios or their marketing team does not provide a short description about the film or spoil the hell out of it through the spoiler-rich trailer (suddenly remembers Viva Film's Hitman

You’re My Boss Trailer Impressions: Toni Gonzaga and Coco Martin 2015 Chick Flick

You're My Boss 2015 movie trailer impressions romance comedy film trailer review pinoy movie blogger

You’re My Boss
Plot / Synopsis

“You’re My Boss” centers on a smart and bossy airline company executive named Georgina (Toni Gonzaga) who will do everything to close an important deal with foreign investors. They, however, wouldn’t negotiate with anyone in their company save for their big boss, who’s on leave. In a desperate attempt to win them over, she introduces her assistant Pong (Coco Martin) as the president, and thus begins the pretense that will lead them to discover what’s real and lovable about each other.

You’re My Boss Film Trailer Review

You're My Boss stars Toni Gonzaga and Coco Martin and this only means one thing... another local blockbuster romcom from Star Cinema this 2015. Star Cinema can't really go wrong once they've included Toni Gonzaga as its leading lady and a highly likable script. Although if you carefully think about the plot of the film, you would ask on how can such a big time client (investor) not know who is the legitimate boss or the one that they should be negotiating with. Hopefully this is fluidly explained in the film so smart audiences can go on willingly suspending their disbelief.

Some few points worth noting, Star Cinema's website has finally included an official synopsis as press material. In the past I've noticed that most local studios don't even put up a decent plot or synopsis for their film to help promote their movie. It's a good thing that Star Cinema decided to finally put more effort to the official movie pages on their Star Cinema website (for more reference (events, press release, images) you can check out the You're My Boss official Star Cinema page). Give credit where it is due. I also would like to highly suggest that Star Cinema and other film studious should also include the talented writer(s) behind such titles.

24/7 in Love
Plot / Synopsis

24/7 in Love Film Trailer Review

What is the best way to celebrate the 20th anniversary of ABS CBN's Star Magic than to make a feature film with their most notable and popular talents with 24/7 in Love. 24/7 drops the usual one story focused structure of a film and went the episodic/anthology type of film. The end of the world or the news about it is what seems to tie all the story together, but we can never know once it actually hits the theaters this November 21.

There are some particularly fresh themes and some cliched ones on this latest Star Cinema romantic comedy anthology film. I think Bea and Zanjoe's story can particularly stand on its own. Star Cinema has started experimenting with unconventional themes like May-December relationships and mistresses and I wouldn't be surprised if they would make a film of a similar theme of a gay guy falling for a female lead in the years to come. This kind of presentation of film reminds me a bit of 2010's Valentines Day movie featuring a star-studded cast with a common theme tying them together. There will always be certain favorites and some forgettable ones in this kinds of films. 24/7 in Love is technically a movie for all romantic film fans or specific celebrities featured in the cast. Some concerns I have with this film would be the length of each individual story and if they connect all of them in the end (if star Cinema decides to take this route). Nonetheless, having this star-studded cast and some particularly interesting episodes, 24/7 has the makjing to be another blockbuster hit.
