The Gifted

The humor is that aggressively absurd kind of humor, but it works well. The story is fresh, entertaining, and easy to enjoy.

Cheap padrody of cruel Intentions. It has no sense, no intellect and nothing to laugh at other than the effort to make the movie fresh.

It's just another run of the mill, cringe-fest of a Filipino movie. They're again trying to "spice things up" with "fresh ideas" by using a novel concept, but it turns into another pito-pito that follows every other movie's mold.

The intelligence of the script writers are in full display here as they evidently show case little to none of it. Lines that were supposed to develop their characters as intelligent kids were full of inaccurate statements and utter nonsense. It shows the depth of the script writers' ability to come up with sound statements to develop their characters with. The fact that Anne Curtis had to act in a fat suit didn't help it one bit. Either she had a concussion the entire time they were shooting it or the fat suit was too heavy for her jaw to move, whatever the reason, all her lines were delivered like a kid reading the lines off a teleprompter for the first time.

Sam Milby with a provincial accent can be attributed to comedic irony which is likely a lucky punch for the casting department. Christine Reyes clearly out-shines Anne in every scene, but that's only because her performance isn't as cringy as Anne's was.

It's just not worth the time to watch it, so don't.
