Feel Good Movie Anyone?

Eric (Gerald Anderson) and Roan (Sarah Geronimo)

Reminders to myself the next time I plan to watch a local movie with light romantic comedy theme:

1. Ignore the plot of the story. These type of movies are created only to appeal to the cheesiness side of the viewers. The fun and "kilig" moments will definitely compensate for the shallow story line. Try to focus on the mushy lines though. These might come handy in the future as "pick-up" lines.
2. Never set high expectations on the skills of the actors. Usually the strategy of the producers in order for the film to sell and earn gazillion of revenues, is to hire the most in demand showbiz personalities as main characters. In demand not because they are effective at what they do but plainly because they are damn good looking. Okay I have to make an exception here. Sarah Geronimo (Roan Sanchez from Caloocan) did a good job performing her role. I thought that the so called chemistry between her and Gerald Anderson (Eric son of the president) worked because of her almost natural approach to the character.
3. Reserve seats online to avoid the hassle of waiting in long queue. The cinema house will be predominantly occupied by ladies, both the real ones and those who are still hoping that one day a fairy god mother will appear in front of them and grant their long time wish to become like one of their girl friends. And what does it mean when girls get together to have fun??? LOUD.

I know that social norms dictate that a single guy cannot watch this type of movie alone and so I gather some friends (Amie, Reana, and Ron from Malabon) to join me. I have to be honest, Sarah Geronimo was the only reason why I was eager to watch this movie. I thought that she was amazing in "A Very Special Love" which convince me to see her in the big screen this time with "Catch Me, I'm In Love". Her antics are near to reality perfection which was well applauded by the moviegoers. Gerald was just okay although I still think that there is something wrong with his voice. The deep modulation sounds fake to me. Aside from clarity of the script, I think the tone of the voice plays an important aspect in conveying the sincerity of the role the actors are playing... Ergo fake voice is tantamount to fake acting.
