First, their recommendation:
Now, how do I recommend this movie without spoilers? Let me try...
The movie gives us a "light" perspective on death. There's this famous saying(question) that was even mentioned in the movie that goes something like this, "Everybody wants to go to heaven, but how come no one wants to die?"
Instead of sulking in one corner, Joyce (Dizon) decided to live life to the fullest. Although not everything Joyce chose to do is laudable, her positive outlook and her way of preparing her loved ones of the inevitable is admirable.
Mylene Dizon, Eugene Domingo, Tessie Tomas, Ryan Eigenmann and the others were not acting at all because they were able to internalize their characters.
Ryan Eigenmann's character surprised the movie goers, although I had an inkling that was what his role was. Although he has portrayed protagonists before, he is mostly remembered in his villainous roles. It was refreshing to see him as a nice man here. His eyes were very expressive and his voice was very gentle. Somewhere in the movie his hands will be shaking and I almost felt what his character, Emil, was feeling.
Eugene was very natural. It's no wonder that she has lots of movies, tv shows and advertisements nowadays. She is very talented and she deserves to have more acting awards.
Tessie Tomas is very versatile. She can make people laugh and she can make people cry.
TJ Trinidad was perfect for his role.
I was surprised to see Jun King Austria (a former child super star) as Severino here and the boy that played Daniel reminded me of him when he was little.
I could go on and on and on, but I'll end this by saying that this movie, filled will morals and lessons, is a very enjoyable movie. You MUST watch it to find out why.
