The Mistle-Tones (2012)

from imdb

I feel Christmassy this Spring

(The Philippines has only the wet and dry seasons.)

A feel good movie was what I wanted to see the day I watched this(I am not writing this on the same day I watched this), I searched and I searched until I found this one.

At first I thought I was just going to pass the time, but I enjoyed it as well.

True, there were some exaggerated scenes and dialogues, and there were some of those predictable scenes and lines, but there were stuff that happened in the movie that I didn't expect.

The love story is not even the main focus of the story.  The main story is about a girl who misses her late mom so much that she wanted to be like her, but someone was stopping her to achieve her dreams.

For those looking for cheap thrills, and those wonderful feelings when you are amid people in love, you won't be deprived. There are plenty of scenes that would make you kilig.

I also had fun watching the rehearsals and the auditions, and I listened to what the main protagonist's father had to say too.

I especially enjoyed the "ending".

 THE SOUNDTRACK

Well, I guess that I am going to say about "this".

Thanks for your time.
