SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Reno Rangan A movie first must get notice in its domestic circuit, then rest of the world come check it out on the curious. I don't know this was a blockbuster or not in the local market, but heard lots praise for it, especially, from the youngsters. I have seen only a few Filipino movies and this one was one of the good films. Very very similar movie to 'Before' trilogy and a fine beginning of the series. Yes, I heard the second movie is already in talk, so guessed probably it going to end as a trilogy.Unlike 'Before' trilogy, this movie is not set in the casual manner, between the two. Most importantly, it's a road movie, a travel tale. The one of two who meet are affected by the recent love failure. So, the narration concentrates mostly on romance and about mending the broken heart. A pair of two actors with a good chemistry and nicely shot in the beautiful places. Like advertising Filipino tourism, the movie takes us to the finest locations.It commences just after the 8 years of romance ended for a woman. It does not show how, but later revealed by orally. Beautifully brought those heartbreaks and heartache on the screen. How the boys and girls mourn for their broken relationship was presented quite impressively. All the good times spent together pops out in the front and the rest of the stuffs are just pitch black. Even after breaking their heart, they feel they want to forgive them and give a second chance.There are all kinds of love in this world, but never the same love twice.I liked the honesty in the movie, I mean the characters talk as in reality, not the craps. If you ever was in love and saw the failure, you would know what I meant. Whatever the account between them, the animation narration was the plus point in this whole storytelling. The story begins with an arrow asking a question for a lost heart. And the answer is the movie itself that you are going know in the end. It might not understandable by the serious people, but morally appeals to the lover boys and girls, I mean to the guys who are insanely in love with someone.I thought it was about and for youngster, actually it's about the people who are on the leap from there to the middle age. So, the crisis here is, the chances are fading away to fall in love madly, crazily again. Those days, the playful younger days are gone, what should be done now onwards is the movie that chronicles with lots of fun, emotions and a simple twist at the end. Though, the end was not properly explained, but leaves open. I'd say save whatever you are going to predict it to be, because like I said the sequel's quest to fill it up. But I hope it makes the same impact as this one did to me.It's more like a 'coming-of-age' for those who are between teen and middle age. I can't say it was the best, but a good movie. Since the loop is open, all I can do is wait for the follow up. Who knows, after the second and even better third movie, it might pop into one of the best romance-trilogies ever. So I'm keeping an open mind here. Hope they won't mess it up. In the meantime, you can give it a try because it was not any nearer to be called bad and I'm sure you would enjoy it if you like a simple romantic tale.7/10

unknownthing Even though i don't know Filipino but watch it nevertheless. Feel like crying and laughing at the same times. Can really to both the actor. Superb acting and very real.totally recommend to everyone esp with the one with broken hearts.What a movie, movie like this come once in a decade. You can relate to both the character. Having been brought in a lots of over the top acting and unrealistic story lines from Bollywood it is a nice change for a while. I hope bollywood will not copy and spoil it . great location esp in the interior of Philippine. I am now a fan of Filipinos movies after this and metro manila. I really like the scene at the villages when the hero hesitate for a while.

Catie Chan JM De Guzman, where have you been all this time??? There are actors who give theatrical performances and then there are the REALLY good actors who are able to give natural, believable, relate-able and subtle performances that come across the screen better than the most literal dialogue. JM De Guzman has very expressive eyes. You can see the meaning behind his words through the twinkle in his eyes. Yes, you can quote me on that.I admit I rarely watch Filipino movies but this one had me laughing and crying so hard. Very well-written screenplay and the characters are very lovable and relate-able. There are a lot of tongue-in-cheek references to JohnLloyd-isms which make Angelica's dialogues all the more funnier (because as of this writing, as far as I know, Angelica and John Lloyd are still together). I can imagine Angelica and JM reading the scripts for the first time and laughing "I HAVE to do this movie!". Because the script/screenplay is THAT good.Even though this film is pretty much a more down-to-earth adaptation of the Korean "My Sassy Girl",--hey, come on, beautiful heartbroken girl meets this plain-looking guy who is willing to go with her mood swings and road trip whims--- I like that there are still a lot of culturally unique themes that makes this truly Pinoy.The only thing missing from this movie is a really good musical score or even an OST more substantial (or LSS-friendly) than "Where do broken hearts go" or "Tadhana" which you only really hear through an incoming call ringtone.And having been a Baguio resident for many years, I loved that they showcased several spots in Baguio (and also Sagada) which made me miss that place all the more.

Sirfaro11 First time I saw the trailer of this movie, I figured it was a different kind of rom com. As it got its nationwide release, both critics and Facebook friends were raving and posting the lines from the movie. To not watch it means to be left out in the discussion, so we decided to watch it one afternoon. I have to narrate that because I was underwhelmed with the movie. Perhaps because I read too much reviews and saw too many clips before I went to see it. Almost every line was familiar already so there was no more surprise in my part. I still admire this work because you genuinely care about the two leads after getting to know them in the first half of the movie. The conversation that they shared were never boring although you kind of feel fed up with her by the time they arrive in Sagada. JM de Guzman was the perfect listening buddy ,with his own demons, but contented on hearing everything Angelica had to say. I am glad this movie was appreciated by so many people, proving you only need a good script to keep the audience listening. The ending though might leave you wanting more.
