The one with the first time



nyahaha, we watched it alright! Hancock we missed, but this we didnt?! haha, what were we thinking?! anyway, i also don't know what has gotten in us to watch the movie but i guess the timing was just perfect. i was invited by my SIL jane and i could'nt resist because i also was intrigued of how KC and Richard are in a movie. and since we have some time for a movie, we went on with the plans. funny pa my husband went with us, just so he can relax in a moviehouse and for the free popcorn (yeah right?!)

anyway, here is my unsolicited movie review:
disclaimer: review done is solely the author's perspective and opinion not based professionally as i dont have any professional background on filmmaking or production, just a personal opinion.

~ I love the shots in Greece. very nice. did'nt know they have that and was surprised to see really good shots of greece. sayang lang and it's another place else where and pag dating dito sa pinas, wala na pinakita na kahit anong maganda location to be promoted to think that the movie will be shown all over the world.
~ KC and Richard just don't have it yet. I mean, I'm the type of person who easily giggles on this kind of films but this one, i don't know, something just did'nt add up. i don't know if it was because I was still trying to swallow how KC talks and delivers her lines. parang hindi natural. it's as if i was watching her on stage or something to that effect. Or parang you can feel that they're trying so hard to make a good chemistry. i really dont know basta that's how i felt. pero of course, there are scenes na nakakakilig naman talaga pero i did'nt go out of the moviehouse convinced that they're a good pair. Out of the recent love-flick movies i watched (havent watched A very special love yet), the one with John Lloyd and Bea ang kinilig ako ng sobra. hehe.
~ Promise Philip Salvador did'nt fit as a rich and powerful executive ha. eh mas mukha pang Boss si Benjo e. hehe, peace! Seriously, everytime scene nya na and he was trying to be manipulative of KC and reprimand KC of not doing her best, parang di ako convinced that KC is scared of Philip and that HE is the boss, coz he just aint. There was this scene where KC was presenting something and Philip was impatiently listening and was trying to do a trick with his pen, the thing that you do with your pen and you roll it to your fingers. eh yun lang nga, hindi pa nya magawa e. basta! if you notice that, it's a mannerism kasi supposedly of people who think and yung mga executives and it's supposed to be fast and hindi kumakanto. with him, parang ako yung nahihirapan e. hehe. but in fairness, i give credit naman to the father and daughter scene. ok sya dun kasi hindi sya boss dun e, daddy so ok. i think eddie gutierrez would make a better executive and dad of KC. hindi naman kasi por que tatay ni richard si eddie eh kahit sa movie ganun pa rin. ahehe.
~ I soo love Candy! the best ang mga lines! as in! she's the best! very natural and lines well-delivered. pati yung Benjo, winner umarte! ang galing talaga!
~ I love KC when she cries, as in may timing. I just did'nt like her sa part nung iniwan na sya ni richard and she was crying so hard, to the point of feeling suffocated and she was trying to stop it tapos parang iba yung maiisip mo while watching it. haha. basta, watch it and tell me what you felt. *wink*
~ I love that they incorporated family issues and concerns sa movie para hindi masyadong love story. nicely done.
~ In fairness, I cried sa movie. hahaha. babaw ko. so maganda pa rin naman pero it was not something i'd talk about pa after watching it. yun lang, bow.

Kami rin ni Jeff, we watched this promise! Ganda ng pagkaka-direct ng For the First Time and I agree with you, medyo kulang pa acting ni KC and Richard. In fairness, mas natuwa ako sa movie ni John Lloyd and Sarah ;)
