I was dragged by mom to the cinema to watch the movie and just as I imagined, the movie was awful.

Don't get me wrong, the cast did well on portraying their characters but there's just so much they could do.

First and foremost, the script was poorly written. they made the characters too chatty instead of just digging in to the characters'pain. You know silence goes a long way. Because of the lack of silence in the movie (and its characters) Naval and Valdez disappoint to give the viewers the feel of reality in the movie. Also, the lines on the confrontation were weak and lazy. The part where Bea and Dawn confronted each other was lifeless not how the actors conveyed it but the lines itself is dry. There was not enough fire in between the lines and have yet again failed to give the viewers the truth about confrontations and infidelity. Furthermore, what's up with the corny line "...team sawi, maging team wagi naman tayo"?!? I mean that's just tacky and not appropriate to the age the actors were portraying. I mean I imagine saying that line if I was in high school. The story was somewhat realistic because it is driven by pain, however it was dreary shown and executed poorly.

Philippine film industry can do so much better than this.

Great movie

I enjoyed the movie, and as expected from a drama movie, it was very moving (I cried buckets). Although the story is not original, there have been so many movies done on the same topic/issue, still the movie came out very well and the writer & director managed to pull the heart strings of anyone watching.

Out of all the leads, Dawn Zulueta stood out the most in terms of acting - the expression in her eyes, the way she delivered the lines were just very true to the role she portrayed. I find Richard Gomez's acting here to be a bit one-dimensional, I was expecting him to show more emotion/struggle, given the dilemma faced by his character. Bea Alonzo was also very good here but she seems to overact at times. What I did not like in the movie is that Richard and Bea does not have chemistry. On the other hand, Dawn and Richard were a perfect pair.

The supporting characters (especially those who portrayed as children of Richard and Dawn, and the guy who portrayed as the lawyer/officemate of Bea need to go through serious acting workshop, the sort of ruin the scenes they are in with their bad acting).

Overall, it was a good movie for me, it could have been shorter, but enjoyable to watch just the same.

best movie for family heads

Most of us like to have a an affair, but how much and to what extent it can hurt others, some thing to ponder on in this movie.
