If there's one thing I really liked about this movie, I liked and still like the theme song called MAYBE THE NIGHT.  I love this version(ORIGINAL) by Ben&Ben, but I also liked how Carlo Aquino sang it to Angelica...rather, I liked how Nix sang it to Pia. DIRECTED BY DAN VILLEGAS WRITTEN BY DWEIN BALTAZAR I'm a CarGel fan.  Yes, I truly am.  I love ANGELICA PANGANIBAN because she's very versatile.  She can play any role.  She can be classy, naughty, nice, full of spice, scary, evil, cheap, funny or whatever else.  She's a chameleon.
I like CARLO AQUINO.  He's a great actor and a good singer.
Did I like the movie?
Well, my parents did and so did the rest of the people in the theatre.  They especially loved the ending.  They called it realistic, et cetera, et cetera.  
What about me?
Not so much. I still liked it, but...
I love their acting and the dialogues, especially the ones coming from Angelica had some hugot, and I'm sure a lot of people would be quoting from this movie, but maybe I wanted more.
I'm not judging the morality of the story, because Pia(Angelica's role) pointed it out to Nix, and I think her character really needed to be like that because that was how the character was written.  So that's not the issue here.
Even if the characters don't share my values, I have no right whatsoever to judge how these people value themselves.  After all, even canonised Saints underwent a lot of things, and...
OK, let's not go there.
It's just that maybe, just maybe there was something missing.
"Maybe you were not feeling well that's why you didn't like the movie much," said my mom. Well, she has a point.
Dad said something about Angelica was too pretty for Carlo like Bela was too pretty for him too. Hmmm. "Why Carlo?"
"Dad, but didn't you like Carlo Aquino in GOYO?"
"Ah, siya ba yun? Ah, oo nga pala, siya si Enriquez!"
The truth is, whether he liked Carlo Aquino as Vicente Enriquez or not, it still wasn't enough to win a debate because liking him as Vicente Enriquez doesn't have anything to do with looks.  Well, I don't think he noticed it.  He agreed with us that Carlo is a good actor.  He's not bad looking too.

I woke up with very high fever and even had to cancel my lunch with my Bestie and my Sis.  I slept it off, felt a tad better, and mom practically forced me to come with them, and so I did.

I think I got brainwashed and accepted the fact that maybe I wasn't really feeling well so that's why I didn't like it so much.  Don't I have a mind of my own? Well, I do.
The fans inside the theatre showed their appreciation.
It's probably a box office hit, so my opinion really wouldn't matter to the producers and everyone involved in this movie.
It's not a bad movie.  It's just not my cup of tea.
Oh, I think I must say that I liked the way the flash backs weren't confusing.  
There.  I don't think I have anything else to say.
Thanks for your time.
