Un/Happy for You

Okay, first of all, this is the first filipino movie i've watched in cinemas ever since i moved here, and i gotta tell you, this movie is POINTLESS.

The jokes are unfunny, the story is plain bs, the only thing good about this movie is the trailer, i know right? The trailer is the only thing good about this movie.

Really, filipino movies were great, but ever since i don't know. Like 2016? It had gone HORRIBLY WRONG.

And ever since "Viva Films" decided to make "Vivamax" they have been NOT doing well.

The movie is rated "PG" in the Philippines but dosen't take the "Soft-corn" scenes into accountability, and i've watched Tarot, and trust me, Un/happy for you should've been rated R-13.

This movie really sucks, don't watch it for gods sake.

This movie is The Hows of Us, My Ex and Whys, One More Chance morphed into one. The fight scenes in the beginning are reminiscent of the Hows of Us since with KB and DP even the crying in the rain scene is a complete remake, it's laughable.

I'm sorry but Julia cannot act to save her acting career. She needs to attend acting workshops instead of banking simply on her face and surname to have a career. Her acting is flat, inconsistent, and just lacking.

Some of the love scenes are unnecessary, we get it they're doing it, you dont have to add it in the story line every so often. Julia's character development or lack thereof was a disappointment. Zy cheats on her fiance twice and as they say, if they cheat with you they will cheat with you, so why are we advocating cheating? Why should we root for a cheater?

Im only giving 2 stars for Joshua's acting, I think given better projects he will become one of the more bankable actors in the Philippines. Having said this tho, he still has a lot to improve on -he has acting nuances that I think he gets (copies) from actors like Daniel Padilla or John Lloyd Cruz, it's really annoying. But between the two of the main leads his acting was way better.

I had high hopes for this movie knowing this earned millions in the box office and was trending for a while. Honestly, this is the type of movies people praise now? We've seen better! This was obviously a fan service for Joshua Julia fans. If you're not a fan like I'm not, this is a waste of time. You can skip.

"Un/Happy for You" is a generic Feel Good Romance that's very predictable and formula driven. This film is a comeback movie of Joshua Garcia and Julia Barreto love team both did justice to their roles. Both is just ok on every level even the dramatic scenes. The theme song,"Paubaya" as sung by Moira is out of place and is far from its theme. The cinematography is just ok. The story and direction feels rushed but you get to enjoy the movie. But the ending is a stand out. I won't spoil it.

Overall, "Un/Happy for You" is just decent and pure escapists for a Filipino film. It feels like a Filipino movie I've seen before. But if you're a fan of JoshLia love team then you might like it as a whole.

Aside from me having a personal experience with what's happening on the movie, the movie is so great, with this JoshLia loveteam movie comeback.

I learned different things on this movie, about the culture, maturity and how Juancho learned from his mistakes.

If you are heartbroken or a person that left on a TIRING relationship or the person who was left behind, this movie is for you.

JoshLia acting is so pure and amazing, never made me boo even just a second. There's no hanging moments, the awkwardness of the two couple (based on the acting) is so natural, not BAD acting. I felt the feelings that the two characters were feeling. I felt everything,

So if you are again, a fan of FILIPINO ROMANCE MOVIE or you are a fan of JOSHLIA, then this movie is for you.

Unhappy for you is what I've been looking for on Joshlia's comeback. I hope people would watch it.

From a broken hearted state, I would wish that someday everything heals. Just like in this movie, healing and forgiveness are the main concept.

Sometimes, relationships end with a lot of questions to our minds. But hey love is sweeter the second time around.

The cinematography is good, though a little bit problem with the editing as some scenes are somewhat rushed, maybe they wanted to put a lot of scenes in the movie. But overall it was good, also the acting of Julia Barreto was superb, very natural. I would wish she will find her perfect role in the future as she is sometimes too pretty for her role.
