On the last day when I could redeem my free tickets for being a member of a rewards program, the girlfriend and I had a choice to make: watch a movie with a nice premise and a lot of promise, or go for the latest Filipino romantic comedy that boasts the newest love team that people would go ga-ga over. The free tickets were only valid for those two movies.
Given that the last flick we watched, Red Riding Hood, also had a nice premise (the re-telling of the Little Red Riding Hood folk tale with a werewolf twist) and was pretty promising as well, but turned out blech, we were given pause. But a Filipino romantic comedy? Really?
I mean, I have nothing against Filipino movies, per se, but the ones that get out there right now are just, well, not all too good.
