It Delivers Light-Hearted, Unpretentious Storytelling and Palpable Chemistry Between BarDa
Why You Should Watch It Now
1. It showcases the undeniable & sizzling β¨ chemistry between Barbie and David that joyously π transcends from TV to the big screen. Even the seniors in the cinema where I watched it can't help but giggle whenever they have confrontation scenes. π
2. It's a romantic π comedy that serves on point yet very tenseπ₯and butterflies-in-the-stomach inducing conversations between the main leads - you would wish you were there in the scene with them. ππ The yacht scene is my favorite. I wish Adam and Mila would stay in that yacht until they produce 12 kids together. π π
But, seriously, that yacht-long conversation scene can make your heart tremble and your knees weak. π David has really mastered the subtle acting art. Every nuance, expression, gesture, and vocal delivery of someone who's falling in love - HE BLOODY NAILED IT.
3. Barbie Forteza wears so many beautiful dresses π in this movie. She officially ended π her teen-girl persona era while she struts around wearing all those chic and fashionable outfits.
4. Some scenes are filmed in South Korea. πΈ They added a more romantic ambiance β¨ to the whole story.
5. No villains, no side stories, the whole movie is all about how love finds Adam and Mila. π
6. No poverty porn! Yes! It depicts the Philippines positively, showing affluent places and decent working and dwelling spaces for the female lead. I hate it when Filipino movies keep on showcasing poverty porn.
My only complaint is that it's TOO short despite being a 2-HOUR-PLUS LONG movie. I wanted more. It's BITIN! It's not enough for me π π
