What I Like About The Movie:
The Main Cast. Always been and always will be a fan of Richard and Dawn Zulueta. I think their magic and chemistry is always a winning formula in any given teleserye or movie.
Bea Alonzo is an excellent choice to match the intensity of the two lead actors. She looks so flawless and on point in this movie btw. I thought i had seen it all, but Bea suprise me in this movie. I like her even more after seeing TLA!!!
The Story. Well there are parts that i like, there are parts that im not much of a fan.
I like the simplicity of narration. I think the scenes are all well put together, the plot although not perfect IMO were presented beautifully and simply. The characters were so easy to understand and to love because they were simply human. It was realistic. It was believable.
The Soundtrack. I love the songs that accompany the movie. Not going to blab so much but here's a video of the song that i love in the movie. The tittle Crossroads was so fitting.
What I Dont Like About The Movie:
The Support. Im not saying i dont like the rest of the cast, it's just that they lack something. For instance, Ina Feleo who was playing Adie's bestfriend. The movie didnt have enough back story about how they become friends so it's just weird for me. I think that supporting characters had to be well written too, just like the leads. But this movie was lacking in that. Plus Ina Feleo's character was so stiff and paranoid. It didnt do much for Adie's character. Well, that's just my opinion.
Vince being coward and spineless. Richard Gomez's character was so dignified in the beginning but he seem to lose that towards the end. Especially the part when Vince started to avoid Adie without a word. I just dont get it! Why dont just tell her right? LOL. Anyways, it just all my personal opinion. Acting wise, i think Richard did an amazing job.
Favorite Line:
Vince: I came to say goodbye...
Adie: *smiling sadly* I came to let you go...
Overall Rating:
I liked the movie. I think aside from minor flaws, it's still a good movie to watch. Not just fit for young audience but this movie is one of star cinemas best for 2015. Imagine getting Richard, Dawn and Bea in one movie? I couldnt ask for anything more. :-)
4 out 5 stars!!!
