Missed Connections

This is possibly the only movie from Philipines in Netflix showing a VERY generic movie of todays love story under the usage of social media.

A very arrogant unmature and selfish girl is looking the ways on how to allure and continue kepping an young man using the most wrong methods and 'dissing' her love envy, using the Facebook way. To notice also her ex friend continued to be as "a ghost" in her home helping her on how to get better with the person she loves.

Interesting story that has nothing to show anything from the todays Manila given with a very bad way if not inadmissible. Poor level dialogues as acting. Moral however is still clearly shown as subtext under the subplots with some other clear messages of human relations . As in result she finally was again more isolated.

This movie has been seen for the difference. I was expecting something more interesting from the life in Philipines.

At first, I thought I wouldn't appreciate the movie but as I have given it more time, the movie grew on me. It is so relatable for teens and it has deeper message beyond what can be seen and heard. It has it's own take about moving on and mental health in general, although the theme was not something new, It felt fresh for me. I agree that the acting can still be improved, but what do you expect from a romcom? It's supposed to be all over the top and cringey sometimes. I'd say it is a perfect romcom for me, but we all have preferences. I'd say, just give it a try, maybe you'll like it as well!

The downside of living with someone is that sometimes you have to subject yourself to their preferences.

Unfortunately I did.

Where do I start?

Is it the god-awful tiktok acting of the Miles Ocampo?

The poor misuse of Matet De Leon and her pedigree of acting?

The wasted talents of JC Santos and Chienna Filomeno who carried this movie?

The sexual harassment done by the so-called protagonist to her "love interest?" Physical violence? Bullying?

All of this. This movie is an un-feministic piece of trash media.

She did not even make amends to the people she HURT. She should've been arrested.

The acting was sooo bad and a bit over the top. I feel at the edge of my seat whenever 'kuya green' is acting. I'm not sure if he's on the spectrum or anything, if his character was supposed to be portrayed like that. The way he speaks out his dialogues makes me cringe so much. Even grocery girl's emotions were very exaggerated. Her voice reminds me of Ruffa Mae Gutierrez. There were heaps of times when the camera angles just cuts off the actors / actress faces. You could honestly tell this movie is low budget. I couldn't even finish the movie. I really can't handle pinoy rom-com. Such a waste of time.
